Food Fight!
Seriously, we’re about to deliver these two stories on the 5:00 news.  Are these fights really about chicken fingers and mac and cheese or is there some unresolved resentment here?
1.  Around 2:30 this morning, two cousins were arguing over chicken fingers when they decided to take it outside. One was shot in the shoulder. The other was hit in the head with what police think was a rake.
Â
2. A father came home to find his son sitting on the floor in his underwear.  The son had showered and was eating macaroni and cheese. Problem is… the father says the son is on the dope and not welcome there. The son’s in jail now on burglary and property damage. Â

Nothing we can say could be funnier than a couple of guys shooting each other over chicken wings.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Is eating mac & cheese in your underwear a misdemeanor or a felony?

The taking of the shower prior to eating the mac and cheese must have played an integral part in this confrontation. And what up with the property damage? Did he drop some mac and cheese on a nice rug?

Okay, seriously (but just for a moment), IF the son was using drugs, the dad exhibited very non-enabling and courageous actions and should be praised for the sheer guts it takes to do that with someone you love. Not sure if that was the case, but if it was…you go, Dad. And much compassion, strength and God’s will to your son.

I agree Sherri. When your son is “on the dope”, eating mac & cheese on the floor, you have to call 5-0. Sure it would be easier to take him outside and hit him in the head with a rake then shoot him in the shoulder but you have to people accountable or they will never learn.

Well if eating mac-and-cheese in your underwear is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

Sherri, if I threw a piece of fried chicken on the counter in the midst of a hungry newsroom full of people, would that be enough to start a riot there at the station??

I would possibly shoot someone if they tried to take my Raising Cane’s chicken strips from me. And what else are you supposed to do if you are “on the dope” other than eat mac and cheese, although I do hate it when my kids eat it after they shower.

See how good a news story can be when you go to the effort to get details in the field?
