The employees should have been armed... you never know when chaos and crazy comes out at night looking for sauce.

Better yet.... should rig a bomb just outside the window so idiots can be disposed of with a flip of a switch.

I read that hot peppers give you something similar to serotonin, that activates the pleasure centers in your brain.

Clearly the guy needed his hot pleasure sauce to relieve the horrors of his cruddy life.

Or to mask the artificial flavors, preservatives, and questionable "meat" that goes into fast food. I really think a lot of illnesses are greatly promoted by eating that crap regularly. It has been and always will be popular due to price and convenience. No one can argue these fast food joints attract all kinds of nutcases and trashy people also.

It seems the whole country is getting loonier as time goes on. People cannot deal with not getting everything their way all the time it seems. Some will resort to deadly assault when they melt down.

I worked restaurants, usually night shift, in the 80's when crack became an epidemic in S. Florida. Restaurants were getting robbed at closing and early morning openings. Employees were getting robbed,assaulted, and in some cases, murdered.

My company had a no firearms policy, but I would usually slip out to my truck before it got dark and slip my snub nose .38 into my pocket without telling anyone. If some crack head or someone like that had tried to rob or kill me or my staff, they would have had a big surprise coming....

There are other jobs to be had, but you only have one life.

They are though, otherwise it would be just hamburger meat. If you don't add any sauce to your Taco Bell ground beef taco it will still drip some greasy brownish-orange stuff, that's the sauce the meat is prepared in. You can get street tacos anywhere in Mexico that are just pieces of spiced meat grilled on a comal without any sauce, it's not all guisos bathed in a simmering sauce.

The other sauces are for people to add to their preference, which is how tacos should be.

In Northern Mexico it's common to see tacos sold with flour tortillas, and technically a gringa (found pretty much everywhere in Mexico now) is just a taco in a flour tortilla. It's really hard pin down "authentic taco" by using a checklist of it's components, there is just too much variation across Mexico. I think it's fair to say most tacos in Mexico are made with corn tortillas, but that doesn't mean others are less authentic.

If only I had a gun with me.
Sounds like my local KFC.

Never bring a spork to a proper cutlery fight.

The 24/7 media cycle and social media make us all aware of crazy situations like this.

It’s likely the shooter was under the influence of something or another.

Damn shame the owner of this franchise did not invest in security cameras.
^^^This absolutely.

Also, important to note what story gets selected to be national news and what stays down at the local affiliate level.

Especially if the races align the way the media corporation knows will get them good ratings.

Nothing good happens after midnight.

Wonder if he wanted the fire sauce? That isn't bad actually.
