Days Of (Inflationary) Rage Are Here: Man Goes On Shooting Rampage After Learning Taco Bell Hikes Prices On Beefy Crunch Burrito By 50%
Days of inflatiory rage come to the US:
Police say a San Antonio Taco Bell customer enraged that the seven burritos he ordered had gone up in price fired an air gun at an employee and later fired an assault rifle at officers before barricading himself into a hotel room.
San Antonio police Sgt. Chris Benavides says officers used tear gas Sunday night to force the man from the hotel room after a three-hour standoff. The man is charged with three counts of attempted capital murder. Authorities have not released his name.
Brian Tillerson, a manager at the Taco Bell/KFC restaurant, told the San Antonio Express-News that the man was angry the Beefy Crunch Burrito had gone from 99 cents to $1.49 each.
Police say the man fired on officers during a traffic stop after the restaurant incident.
This is the first example of a domestic shooting incident following the surge in food prices courtesy of just QE Lite and QE 2. Just like in Tunisia, following the self-immolation of a fruit vendor, it will not be the last. And when we finally get QE3, then all bets will be off.

What a god damn moron, if he's p***ed about food prices he should point that rifle at the real problem, The Bernank, not some other victim of the system at Taco-Bell.
If you're going to go on the offensive, the first thing you do is identify the enemy. The Bernank.
God damn idiot.
Not just the Bernank, go after his whole fucking evil tribe!
fuck all you anti jew freaks
blame all your problems on someone else and then kill them
oh what a relief it is
pathetic dirtbags
All of you say what you want.. but...
Crazies, if you are out there.. dont waste your ammo on some idiot at the drive thru who is as broke as you.. take it out on Bernake and InfiniTimmy.. or maybe the Bankers.. or the Lobby people.. or.. hell anyone but some broke taco bell employee..
as mentioned above.. Taco Bell in Texas? why? tex mex is to fucing good? needed to take a break from all the fantastic food around?
as far as people being in a much better position to demand satisfaction..
TALLAHASSEE -- A bill allowing gun owners with concealed-weapons permits to carry their firearms openly cleared its second legislative hurdle in less than 24 hours this morning.

You know, anonymity on the web is an illusion. It's all well and good to have our fun, but saying some shit should happen to high government officials could be interpreted the wrong way.
quadcore pentium processors just came humming to life at a DHS fusion center.
No one employed by the government could get through Tylers CAPTCHA program.
Wow, living in So Flo myself this would drive law enforcement crazy if we all walked around packin' visible heat!
As far as Taco smell, anyone stupid enough to eat the low quality crap they sell deserves to shoot him/herself.
"As far as Taco [h]ell, anyone stupid enough to eat the low quality crap they sell deserves to shoot him/herself."
sad to sayz, i wuz once there. but i like to think it wuz in the days b-fore mon-insanto GMO "would you like some DDT _in_ your corn chips" became what they are today. I've heard that Taco Hell, what with their "trainloads of cheap foodstuffs, for dumpsters worth of cheap eats" are now the #1. restaurant retailer of GMO crops (not to mention hormone & antibiotic laden meats).
did they waste this idiot?
7 burritos?
Yep. An overweight pig, just like the rest of you. (Ok, maybe the chick was waiting in the car).
It's sad that people don't notice until it affects the Taco Bell menu.
He needs to talk with Prechter and learn that we are actually in deflation! LOL!
tear gas? after eating 7 burritos they coulda casually tossed in a lit match...
BOOM!
Wait until the dude get's a load of prison food. Don't they charge inmates something like 25 cents a day to eat? He'll think a $1.49 burrito is like 2-for-1 day at Morton's Steakhouse.
Tacos beeches!
Americas version of the Tunisun fruit seller!
And more, In San Antonio! I have at least 6 killer mexican joints with in 1 mile of me! Taco Bell SUX!
Don’t mess with Texas. Imagine what this guy is going to do when he discovers the price of guns and ammo has doubled.
we need to have check points outside taco bell so unstable people aren't let in.
They might eliminate half their customers doing that.
only half????
Not buying it. A guy staying in a hotel room shoots a Taco Hell employee with a pellet gun, then fires on police with the pellet gun, is charged with attempted capital murder, just because, Taco Hell raised its prices.
Nice try
i know how he feels, once when they wouldnt serve me the breakfast menu when i was 2 min late, i shot the fuick out of the place. all the while pretending to go to work. but i had been fired.
umm but it all worked out i married Katherein zeta jones.
For fuck's sake, this guy has a mental illness. This article only discredits ZH by engaging in sensationalizing headlines & fear mongering. TD, I really appreciate your financial analysis, but you are a real pussy for writing this article.
See if you can get this through your DRY & VACUOUS skull: Some people are lucky if they can afford eating at Taco Bell or any other fast-food restaurant. You have no idea about this person's financial circumstances. The connection that ZH makes between the economy and inflation is VALID!
Pretty soon we'll be hearing the ghost of Charlton Heston scream "Beefy Crunch Burrito.... IT'S PEOPLE!"
We have all the ingredients necessary for a very long, very hot summer. As Gerald Celente is fond of saying, "when people have nothing left to lose, they lose it".
Expect civil unrest at levels not seen recently in the U.S.
Expect 2A.M. liberations of supermarkets and gas stations by armed gangs.
Expect car-jackings and home invasions to rise inversely to the value of the dollar.
Expect what's left of our Constitution to be shredded in a time of "national emergency".
all that this summer?
shit... and I was gonna go camping:(
Holy shit! $1.49 for a crunchy beef taco?
And how about the gas to get there and hit the drive thru. That is outrageous. Impeach The Bernank.
It's a burrito, not a taco. And for damn sure it isn't beef. It's beefy.
In the same way that stuff the fast food joint pours on the french fries isn't cheese. It's cheesy.
But...but...The Bernank is "100% sure there will be no inflation."
...riiiight, and Taco Bell beef is 100% beef.
why don't you fucking diet and exercise you disgusting pig oh wait you cant because your a worthless? manchild . i love how dejected you sound oh poor baby can't eat his baconataers anymore boo fucking hoo fat fuck
So, he's passionate about his crunchy burritos. If he'd just ordered one, not so bad, but 7 x a 50 % hike is an unexpected jolt and demands going burritopostal.
I believe "burritopostal" might be word of the day. It could be the next, "Hellacool". Mind if I borrow it?
refried beano my guest.
2 tacos for $1 at jack in the box last I lived in dallas.
1 taco $.59 at Del Taco on the hill in Boulder , CO.
Me no taco expert, just sayin.
Take away their beer, cable and beefy crunchy burritos...
When there is nothing left to lose...
The Amerikan sheeple will lose it...
great deal IMO..pay 50% more and get gas back. can't beat the exchange
One can relate to this man's strife quite well. Who hasn't seen red when being denied their daily fuel? I agree with his position and indeed his actions are nothing short of heroic. He's making a stand about the same issues we discuss here, the only difference being he's wedged his substantial posterior out of his chair and done something about it. What have you done today?
How long until we reach the point that the cotton in a FRN is worth more than the face value and I can trade a couple stained Hard Rock T's and some ratty $1's for a Taco Bell franchise?
If they outlaw Taco Bell Beefy Crunch Burritos only outlaws will have Taco Bell Beefy Crunch Burritos!!!!!!!!!!!!
$8.00 for four MFing green bell peppers today at the store... I wanted stuffed peppers, but not
that bad. Almost killed the stupid bitch for buying them.
"I see dead people"
real meat costs 50% more than fake looks like meat, smells like...uh..meat..
we people may want to think of seeds and growing ome produce..especially sprouts.. wait until food prices really start to go up up and away..
They talk about how stoic and consensus the Japanes are in regard to the damage being done to their country (it won't last long believe me), in the US we aren't like that. The problem with "rugged" individualism is that someone has to lose in order for that person or or group to win. So everybody is looking out for themselves or their group at all times, when things are good you don't see it that much but when things are bad... I see people eventually raiding grocery stores and stealing from each other to keep themselves in some form of comfort they had before hyperinflation.
As long as Taco Bell can deliver this:

I'm satisfied. A little intestinal inflation is okay.
guess guns and ammo are not effected by inflation.
have to be worse than naive as a baby fawn to believe guy was not shooting someone soon regardless of the price of his fast food.
pretty much the same as the economic hysteria still hits even if those evil banksters worked for free.
But I get it anything to support the same old doomsday, class warfare, elite conspiracy sky is falling bullshit that is so retro chic around here.
Technically, a fried burrito is a known as a Chimichanga. Anyway, its as Amercian as apple pie.

Where's the beef?
How about the cost of the bullets ? Those have tripled in the past three years due to copper demand and The Bernank's "No Inflation" policy.

but the i-pad two has more computing power per price point, so in fact there really isn't inflation
