Never bring a mayo packet to a gunfight
« on: March 21, 2022, 08:41:44 AM »
Long story short is a Burger King customer threw a mayonnaise packet at the employee who then went to their car and retrieved a gun, then fired off 5 shots at the customer.
But that's okay, the customer made faces at her.

In Hicks’ defense, a witness said the customer was making faces at her, further aggravating the situation. “And that just set her off,” the witness helpfully added.

They're claiming self defense.

I do have to make the comment, that barring more info, I don't see how the cops can arrest her Uncle for refusing what appeared to be an attempt at a warrantless search.

Seems like there might be more to the story.

She was released 48 hours after shooting at somebody out in a public setting.

What are the chances you would be released 48 hours after behaving the same way?

She was working the drive up - inside - and a customer in his car threw a mayo packet at her . . . she went outside and got a gun, and according to a witness, the customer in his car made faces at her which set her off and prompted her to fire several rounds. 

And SHE is claiming self defense? For what, assault with a scary scowl?  :facepalm:

Wonder if she hit the car, but the customer seems to be currently unknown.

If I pulled a gun on people for making faces at me, I would have been locked up a long, LONG time ago.

Also agree with Ben that the comment about the uncle being arrested for not cooperating with what sounds like a warrantless search (read "armed home invasion") needs more details to make a reasoned judgement.

Haven't seen what the other guy looks like so there's a chance all she has to do is claim he said some sort of slur at her and it's game on as far as the MSM and politicians are concerned.
