Do people even need a reason to shoot each other anymore?

I mean, I guess at least he had a reason..

Was it the pizza-flavoured kind, or the ham-and-cheese kind?

They are both bad for your health, but not as bad as a bullet.

So sad . . . I have more interest in the type of Hot-Pocket involved than in another senseless shooting.

I have become jaded.

We all have.

Probably how we continue to process and cope with this stupidity.

Completely justified if it was the pizza type.

Maybe they should stop selling hot pockets.

I wonder what the ratio of hot pocket eaters to people who die is?

Kentucky needs stronger Hot-Pockets control laws!

:roll: Because their gun-control laws are obviously not working.

If they won't consider gun control, they need to consider ensuring everyone in the state receives an allotment of Hot Pockets so that no one is left without Hot Pockets.

Maybe they could compromise and mandate that an armed guard be stationed outside of every home where someone might get hangry with a gun that’s loaded with hot pockets ready to shoot right in their hangry hot pocket faceholes?

Could work!

Some years ago I read of a guy who knifed his roommate because the roommate ...baked himself some chicken coated in flour, or what he thought was flour, but was really the first guy's stash of cocaine!

:lol:




Well...back in my day folks would go apeshit about something expensive...like cocaine. Now they go apeshit about petty cheap things like hot pockets. Standards have fallen!

In his defence, hot pockets probably cost today what cocaine used to when you were young.. so it really is an equivalent and justifiable crime! :p

Yes. Some things are justifiable homicide. Like hot blood over hot pockets.

That, and the philosophical question: which is better eating? Venison, or snapping turtle?

Thats what the country singer Johnny Paycheck and another bar patron were discussing when Paycheck got arrested for shooting the guy, and wounding him, and did prison time.

Hey...you cant tackle the question of whether or not there is a God...until you first settle: the venison vs snapping turtle question!

My nephew was a jailer at the Pulaski county detention center and there was a man in there that killed his brother because he ate the last piece of pie.

From a financial standpoint, it makes perfect sense. These types of crime will only continue to increase...until the price of a bullet is greater than a Hot Pocket :D
