“I think it was over the sauce not the wings themselves, Tara.”
Now it makes sense. One or two packets of sauce that they give you are never enough!
I think a lot of them were agnostics, ditto. There were also a few atheists. Probably more after the shootings.
“No no, pass the buck to society in general.”
Well society does rear criminals 🙂
Doesn’t God make everything? Its her fault really.
I think it was over the sauce not the wings themselves, Tara.
“Kids shoot each other over chicken wings”
Maybe I missed this, but where in the article does it say that the shootings and stabbing were over chicken wings? Are there other articles that state this as a fact?
“No no, pass the buck to society in general.”
Well society does rear criminals 🙂
I blame it on Nintendo, MTV and the Internet.
Yes, I’m afraid I had the same reaction to the sagacious Councilwoman’s statement. Kids shoot each other over chicken wings, and the problem is “poor planning”? It may indeed be poor planning to promote any event that would draw these “yoots” (as My Cousin Vinnie says) to that horrible pseudo-mall, but the problem runs a tad deeper, no? Next time, perhaps the chain should advertise a special on broccoli and Beethoven.
“put the blame on the perpetrators of the crimes”
No no, pass the buck to society in general.
