Would you kill someone for a chicken sandwich? If your answer is no, what if it was a really, really tasty chicken sandwich? After a two month wait, Popeye’s spicy chicken sandwich finally returned on Sunday.
It was “national sandwich day”, and fans in many locations started lining up well before stores opened up at 10 o’clock. I have never had one of these sandwiches, and there isn’t a Popeye’s anywhere close to where I live, but after hearing about this frenzy suddenly I have a craving for a chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, anger and frustration spilled over at many Popeye’s locations around the nation, and we did witness a number of violent incidents. In fact, it is being reported that one man was actually stabbed to death at a Popeye’s in Maryland…
A man is dead after a stabbing inside a Maryland Popeyes, according to sources.
Prince George’s County Police say they received reports of a fight at a Popeyes location in the 6200 block of Livingston Road in Oxon Hill on Monday at around 7 p.m.
According to Fox 5, the stabbing happened “following an altercation over a chicken sandwich”…
Detectives are at the scene working to establish a suspect and a motive, police say.
Sources told FOX 5 the incident began following an altercation over a chicken sandwich.
How far gone do you have to be to stab someone over a sandwich?
And if people are getting this crazy now, what are they going to do once things start getting really bad in this nation?
In addition to this incident in Maryland, there were quite a few other locations where violence broke out. The following is how the Daily Mail summarized the mayhem…
- Two men at an Ellenton, Florida Popeyes drive-thru are seen fighting in the road
- Video from Edgewood, Maryland Sunday shows a fight between several people
- One man at a crowded Harlem, New York location screamed at staff because he felt they were taking to long for his order of 10 chicken sandwiches
- Staff in Tallahassee turned against each other and spilled out the door fighting
- Videos from a Popeyes at Union Park, Florida, show a pair pushing their car through the drive-thru in a bid to get their hands on the viral $3.99 sandwich
All of this for a $3.99 chicken sandwich meal?
It must be one heck of a great chicken sandwich.
And this certainly isn’t the first time we have seen this sort of craziness at Popeye’s restaurants. When this sandwich was first introduced back in August, there were similar incidents of violence…
In one August viral video incident at an unknown location an irate Popeyes customer jumped through a drive-thru window to fight with three employees, angry that there were no more chicken sandwiches left at that location.
Another furious brawl broke out in Brooklyn in August when customers stood in line for an hour and were outraged to learn that the chain ran out. An argument escalated to the point where a Popeye’s employee was injured.
At one time, if you saw a news story about someone that did something really crazy, it was easy to dismiss because the crazy people were such a small minority in our society.
Unfortunately, they are not such a small minority anymore.
Of course, Popeye’s is not the only chicken joint that the crazy people like to frequent. For example, just check out what recently happened at a KFC in Kentucky…
Witnesses tell WLKY a female customer shot through the window after she didn’t receive a napkin and fork.
Charlene Witt is the manager at the Subway restaurant directly across from KFC.
“I just can’t even think about what was going through their head to pull out a gun and shoot a window. It’s scary,” Witt said.
What in the world has happened to us?
We truly have become an “idiocracy”, and many of us are little more than overgrown children that never learned not to throw temper tantrums when something simple goes wrong.
On top of that, we have become a nation of addicts. Being addicted to chicken sandwiches is certainly not the end of the world, but our addiction to legal and illegal drugs has definitely become a major national crisis.
In fact, the mainstream media is telling us that meth “is making a big comeback” in the United States…
Meth producers in Mexico are cranking up the speed of production, and the drug is making a big comeback in the U.S.
“Across the country, it’s probably still the largest problem we have in America,” Derek Maltz, former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Special Operations Division, told Yahoo Finance. ”The Mexican cartels… they make it at levels that we’ve never seen before. So business is booming, the country’s addicted, and it’s really, really out of control.”
The reason why Mexican drug cartels are making so much of the stuff is because there is insatiable demand in America.
And apparently there is a new version of meth that is less expensive, more powerful and “much harder to quit”…
By most accounts, meth is much harder to quit. And the latest version of the illicit drug flooding the nation is cheaper than ever before.
Primarily imported from Mexico by major drug traffickers, “meth 2.0” is stronger, cheaper and far more plentiful than the old home-cooked variety. And with historic levels of funding from the federal government focused exclusively on fighting opioid addiction, states and counties are scrambling to find resources to combat this most recent drug plague.
Can you imagine what this drug is going to do to communities all across the nation?
According to the New York Times, we have already been dealing with “the worst drug crisis in American history”, and now it looks like it is going to go to an entirely new level.
Ultimately, the thing that is most important to most Americans is whatever makes them feel good at that moment.
Whether it is meth, a chicken sandwich or something else, it is not wise to get between drooling Americans and their addictions.
The fabric of our society is literally coming apart all around us, and it is getting worse with each passing year.

This doesnt’ happen at Chick Fil A for some reason.

Different demographic customer base.
Questions: Wonder if the guy with the knife ever got his sandwhich?
Wonder if it was a good sandwhich?
Do they have good chicken sandwhiches in Prison? I wouldn’t think so.
Question: Did dead victim find chicken sandwhich waiting for him on the other side? Real bummer to get cut, die, and not even get that chicken sandwhich you died for.
FYI: People here. Stay OUT of Ego fights. Especially with certain demographic groups. But people EVERYWHERE are insane now. Yes they are crazy. In my state EVERYONE is armed. Thugs and soccer moms. Angry Soccer moms might be the most dangerous?
But it is tougher today, to stay out of things, because now it seems everyone is violent and insane. No provocation required. Used to be that only savages acted as savages. Today well to do soccer moms, beat the hell out of one another in front of their own children, over parking places. I have seen it. I have also seen Moms picking up children at school, urge their own daughters on, to fight over nothing that matters. The Moms even had their phone cameras out to film the daughters scrap.
My Ole Pappy says:
“Boy, Don’t go to a knife fight with your fist.
Don’t go to a gun fight with your fist or a knife.
Boy, Assume Every fight is a gun fight.
So best advice, is to stay out of fights. Walk away. You never know who you are dealing with.”
I listened to Ole Pappy. I stay out of it. I leave right away. Turn, and walk.
Losing your temper is weakness.
It takes strength to maintain control with an idiot yelling, cussing, swearing, threatening. ‘Welcome to Oklahoma.” Just walk away. Back off. Don’t turn your back.
Winner of the above fight in article will likely find that, “Chicken sandwhich and Ego battle isn’t worth years or decades of prison.”
In todays insanity, if there is any type of altercation. Don’t watch. You need to Leave quickly. Fist fights often become gun fights. Because people are crazy.
God is Great.
Beer is good.
People are crazy. . . . . So Avoid them ALL.
“Unfortunately, they are not such a small minority anymore.”
Democrats were never a minority. Most are on the left side of the Bell curve for intelligence. You can’t fix that.
You can prepare, stand aside, and watch them destroy themselves. Do nothing to stop them.
It is not my job to protect those that would enslave me.
Aloha.
Rellik, it’s ALWAYS the ‘minorities’ fighting one another over stupid things like this. I’m damn sure not doing anything to stop Dems from killing each other. That’s only one of the reasons I left the stinkin’ city.
All the more reason to protect yourself with ‘tools’ afforded by those wonderful documents created long, long ago.
A few decades ago people always carried $50 in cash because muggers would kill them if they had less.
Street muggings were the crime of choice for decades, because of short prison sentences, it was charged as simple assault. As years passed the credit card became king, and people stopped carrying cash.
I read a NY Times article, (in the days they spoke the truth, it was decades ago). Essentially they broke out 1980 crime statistics, if and unarmed mugger targeted you, you stood an 80% chance of significant injury, while the criminal established his authority.
If the mugger had a knife you stood a 40% chance of injury as he established his authority. Yes, he would cut you.
If the mugger had a gun, you stood a 5% chance of injury, because the bad guy felt he owned you. Pretty much only people who resisted got shot.
There are no statistics for muggers disarmed who had their gun shoved up their butt. I did read stories however, where after the xray showed a loaded cocked gun up a muggers butt, doctors would refuse care.
In those days muggers had little information to make decisions on. If the SHTF, a new class of Criminal survivors will emerge. Be ahead of the learning curve by studying history.

PTPO, muggers would have a VERY SHORT life span where I live now. They just wouldn’t be tolerated.
There is no story here. Oxon Hill, MD is 5% white. What happens there is of consequence only to fools choosing to be there.
LOL ! Yea the natives are restless again. Just like the countless shootings in Chicago every weekend. This kind of shit
does not happen in Texas, because they know that 1/2 the public is carrying & would not hesitate to drop another Leach.
You notice that all of the news stories somehow omit the race of the individuals. I did a quick search of this story when it broke yesterday morning… & the employees, customers, & the PoPo all had a deep tan. No surprise here. Get prepared folks. When Trump gets reelected the lefties will loose their mind. It will be open season.
Standing by in Montgomery County Texas
RT1957, those things don’t happen where I live now and especially with different ‘demographics’. When the balloon goes up the lefties better just keep their stupid asses in the cities. This story is only one reason why I finally got out back in July. standing by in north GA.
Chicken and watermelon can get you killed in some places.
Air Jordans, hairweaves…
I want this franchise, and I want it to run promotions.
If you like your chicken sandwich you can keep your chicken sandwich ‘IF’, you bring a pistol instead of a knife.
Popeye’s does make really great chicken…..but certainly not worth stabbing anyone over. Spoiled, entitled people…can you imagine how they will act if it’s famine time?
As the advice above, “Stay out of it.” But, learn from the report, this indeed is what is coming. Intelligence is learning from experience, genius is learning from the experience of others.
Well over 90% of all murders and assaults against blacks are committed by blacks. Why isn’t there a national outcry about this particularly murder. I know it wasn’t committed by a non-white, because if it was there would be 24 hour news coverage with yet again more charges of racism or white supremacy, no expense would be spared to find the culprit.
This incident speaks volumes, why would someone actually kill another over a chicken sandwich, I would say a grossly inflated mentality of entitlement, and a warped sense of injustice.
All true. The crime stats are there to see but you don’t have to trust them: just spend a week on the streets and see who creates the most problems. The police can tell you because they are out there patrolling and see the true state of society.
As for the behaviour of blacks around the world, Europe never had a black crime problem until they started importing them in large numbers in the 1970s. After that, the number of house break ins, rapes, including horrible rapes of women age 60 plus (big black guys seem to like this), and assaults and murders have shot up so that the majority are now done by blacks.
It is so bad every time they try to switch on crime detecting algorithms they keep showing this fact, which is embarrassing to politicians.
This demographic is never going to sit well in advanced nations and should be encouraged to move to Africa where they would feel more comfortable.
NO surprise at all PG County in MD is a nasty little hole worse than Baltimore and full of the wild black baboon savages. When it truly hits the fan, can you only honestly imagine wtf it is going to be like?!?!?!?!
LMFAO
The murder wasn’t over a chicken sandwich it was over being “dissed” (disrespected). In the lower social economic class (I’ll leave the description at that) its vitally important not to be “dissed” on “the street”. The recipient becomes prey to the predators, the weakling, less than a man. The social structure hierarchy up the food chain is about wealth, position, status. The low social economic element has none of that as those few potential role models who aspire to that flee the jungle. I’ve seen people from that environment who through good blue collar employment live an otherwise middle America life revert to, “I’ll kick your ass” at 50 years of age. They live in a different world that makes sense to them. It’s tribal and its their “normal”.

Sometimes all a man has is the dirt under his feet.
If a savage goon tries to push you off that dirt. And you have nothing else. Have already lost everything. Have no where to go. Then maybe, just maybe, you take a stand and fight for that dirt under your feet. Even when outclassed, outnumbered, outgunned.
But I’m sure a pompous individual has no concept of Standing. Standing, Even when it makes no sense at all to an outsider. Outnumbered, outclassed, out gunned, and still you stand firm. even when you know you will lose and maybe die.
After standing, Even if you lost. Was beaten down, and your ass thouroughly kicked. At least you can look yourself in the mirror and not be disgusted. “Beaten up” is not the same as being “beaten”. You are only beaten when you quit.
No one has ever “given” me a black eye. I’ve “earned” them all. I’ve been beaten up, beat down, boot kicked, stabbed, shot, blown up. I’ve earned every scar, cut, injury, broken bones, cracked skull, pins, titanium plates. Some men will fight and die for the dirt under their feet, even when it makes no sense. No regrets.
Will Americans Stand up against the NWO Globalist communist trying to have a commie coup against our ELECTED President?
A commie style coup must NOT be allowed. America is the dirt under our feet. The dirt is sacred and blessed. That dirt has been worth fighting, bleeding, and dying for. Visit Arlington National. Go see the Vietnem war memorial wall. Brave young men have given ALL they are for this American Nation.
And today you have people like Beto and Pelosi thinking that Americans will just roll over and give up the constitution. They are mentally ill. Communism/Liberalism/Socialinsm/Globalism/Collectivism, ALL the Same by different name, is a Dangerous Deadly mental illness.
If a young man is willing to die for his place in line to have a chicken sandwhich. Then what does a thinking person see happening if the commies like Beto/Pelosi come after our means of self defense and if they are successful with their commie coup?
It will be a mess. No more chicken sandwhiches for years. Just misery for all involved.
Will you stand for your chicken sandwhich?
Will you allow a commie coup of our elected president?
Not getting side tracked into an entirely different political debate all I can say from over six decades of being on the planet W/O a silver spoon environment that there is truth in the phrase regarding the ease of removing people from the jungle and difficulty of removing the jungle out of them. Violence used as a method for social dispute is disdained across civilized society but it is not just acceptable but mandated in the lower social economic jungle culture. Their world is entirely different from ours.
Just another dindu nuffin’.
One more reason to prepare your own food. I make a chicken sandwich that is to die for.
.
I agree: I do all my home tasks and have never once hired a black person to do them. As for restaurants, here is why it is dangerous to go to ones that use black staff:
Popeyes worker who ‘body-slammed’ a customer, 55, leaving her with a broken leg and six broken ribs is arrested as it’s revealed altercation happened because she was charged twice for her $13.11 meal
I don’t care if the chicken sandwich was $3.99 it isn’t worth the risk.
Go to restaurants staffed my Asians, whites and Hispanics only. You will be safer.
These words may seem obnoxious but I aim always to speak the truth. Throughout my life one group in the population has stood out for their criminality, violence, poor habits and manners and I think you know who that is.
My grandfather used to call fried chicken shops “n#g@er feeding stations” and that has not changed.
I never go near them because of the clientele and the guaranteed bad behaviour. Basically I look for restaurant concepts that by their nature, are off putting to this demographic: Scandinavian sandwich bars, vegetarian restaurants, Japanese sushi places, Italian etc.
I also frequent establishments run by people who hate this group (Koreans, Russians, Chinese etc) because it is guaranteed they will make them feel uncomfortable being in there if they make the mistake to head out for some late night borscht and perogies!
Perhaps there is meth in the chicken coating?
IDIOCRACY, the movie with Adam Sandler, started out as a comedy. Unfortunately politicians & unelected bureaucrats in “D.C.” have made it a documentary. DRAIN THE SWAMP!!!
Nope. Not Adam Sandler.
… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy
Idiocracy is a 2006 American science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge and starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, and Dax Shepard.
The film tells the story of Joe Bauers (Wilson), an American soldier who takes part in a classified military human hibernation experiment, only to accidentally awaken 500 years later in a dystopian society where mankind has embraced anti-intellectualism and commercialism has run rampant, and which is devoid of intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, and coherent notions of justice and human rights.
Now this is true.
