Holy fuck, I bought two Beefy Crunch Burritos last Friday for 99¢. If I went to order them today and they were $1.50 I would be pissed too.

BobTheFork · Mar 21, 2011

At least he didn't the new price of chalupas

But how does Popeyes compare to that jalapeno fried chicken place? GAF MUST KNOW!

It's not that good, I've tried it a couple of times

All of that is right around the area where I grew up.. I dont watch the news or read the local paper much so I hadn't heard about it.

As a Texan, I can say that we don't all go about shooting at people over Taco Bell.

But generally speaking, we have been known to get violent over Popeyes.

I was at Popeyes a few weeks ago and they were beginning to run out of chicken around 5pm. I got my shit and ran like hell.

Terrible. Puns are clearly nacho specialty.

CriginsMcJuggs · Mar 21, 2011

This is such a fucked up story.
99 cent Beefy crunch burritos was the only reason i went to taco bell, was so incredible for a dollar

As a side note, holy crap you don't need a special permit or license of any kind to own a semi-auto assault rifle in Tx? How.. why.. I just don't get it o.o (coming from socialist canadian)

I'm glad nobody got hurt though, could have ended very badly. And lowering his charge sounds crazy too, bi-polar/schizo? =p

GhaleonEB · Mar 21, 2011

This is one of my favorite thread titles ever. I read it several times over to make sure I had it right before clicking, and the news story didn't disappoint.

Burritos, serious stuff.

Dresden said:

RoryDropkick · Mar 21, 2011

Funny thing is, I barely ever actually ATE there at the Taco Bell.. I knew better

I just didn't care for the idea of having explosive shits while throwing down on VF yknow?

So was the assault rifle an airsoft gun as well?

Seeing that they call it a semi automatic and that he exchanged fire with cops, I doubt he was doing so with airsoft

What the fuck is wrong with people? Seriously all that over a couple of extra bucks.

That's just screwed up. There is nothing else i can say to that.

CrankyJay · Mar 21, 2011

Looking out the windows, he said he saw the man put an assault rifle and a handgun on the roof of his Mitsubishi Eclipse. Customers dove under their tables, the employees scrambled to the back and Tillerson ran to the front to lock the doors as he called police

On a more serious note...the manager might have saved a bunch of people's lives doing this.

I'm sure the guy had other problems leading up to this but this altercation was the last straw in his mind. And by problems I mean mental problems.

Hey, some of us don't want everything to come from a goddamned Jalisco hut with more roaches than an abandoned Twinkie factory.

Hrmm, my Dad was a manager for a few of them in San Antonio before. I wouldn't say that it's any safer. :lol

Warrior_Keoni · Mar 21, 2011

Absolute craziness, but shooting something into another person's face is still assault since he did it willingly.

Glad the folks are the restaurant are okay, but this doesn't surprise me as you never know which crazy genius would be up in arms over the price of chicken nuggets later.

speculawyer · Mar 21, 2011

Suicide by cop attempt?

themustardman · Mar 21, 2011

Wouldn't have happened if the burritos had guns.

Am i doing it right?

A shoot out because of burrito. Damn what a nut case.

As a San Antonian I have to ask, why would you go to Taco Bell when Taco Cabana is so much better?

They made their tacos smaller. ChaCho's has some pretty awesome though I love their steakhouse beef fajita tacos. ;D

a 50% price hike is bullshit. While I don't condone his actions, I do support his rage. Too many places get away with that shit.

Ehh..I dunno. TC's gone downhill or something, but it's never any good when I go there lately. Taco Bell is shit too of course, but it's sort of a guilty pleasure.

Yeah, my Dad told me the owner sold it off and it's dipped since then. Mama Margie's their new start up seems cool though according to him though.

No chicken? Or they just out of chicken?

The rounds he expended were almost certainly more expensive than the price increase.

OP said:
White Road and Hershey Drive

Also, eating shit chain tacos in San Antonio is just wrong.

The Falling Down pictures are perfect for this thread. I'm just glad nobody got hurt because fuckwad here decided to shoot at cops because of his overpriced shitrito. Could have been a lot worse.
