Hot Pockets Rations War among the ranks in the "well regulated Militia"? Even gun-fondling cosplayers gotta eat, no?

Shame the roommate and the hot pocket didn't have guns to prevent this.

John Wesley Hardin once shot a man for snoring.

A man shot in the ass over a hot pocket? Hardin killed his man.

Obviously, MAGA needs a little improvement to catch up with 1880.

Has Boaz pointed out that Hot Pockets are inanimate objects yet?

"Clifton Williams, 64, was arrested on assault charges Sunday after he accused his roommate of eating their last Hot Pocket and attacked him, shooting him in the buttocks, Louisville Metro Police Department officials told WLKY-TV. According to police, Williams started throwing tiles at the man after he realized the last microwaveable turnover was gone. He then shot him in the buttocks as he tried to escape, the TV station reported."

It's bad enough that this story is about a shooting over a Hot Pocket (which is about as American as a story can get these days), but even sadder is that this is about a 64 year old man getting upset enough about a Hot Pocket to shoot someone.

This is good material for the next Hot Pockets ad campaign.

I have been to at least 5 homicides that began with a fight over the last piece of fried chicken. I'm not joking.

My family knows that as long as I always get the big piece of chicken that I would never shoot the kids.

Never had a Hot Pocket, but damn they must be great to elicit this type of reaction!

Must have been one of the steak and cheddar kind. They're damn good.
