Sov opens fire when store runs out of crawfish

Tidbits:
A manic shooter peppered a busy Ensley retail strip with assault rifle fire Sunday evening because a local seafood market ran out of crawfish, investigators said.
During a short chase, Kelly tried to sideswipe a patrol car, and repeatedly rammed deputies' vehicles after he crashed and was boxed in near Palafox and Ensley streets, the Sheriff's Office report said.
Investigators found four guns in Kelly's truck, including an AK-47 assault rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, a 9 mm "TEC-9" pistol, and a .38-caliber revolver — all loaded.
Kelly claimed to be a "sovereign citizen," telling deputies he does not have to follow the law or obey law enforcement officers, deputies said. Also found in the truck was the book "The Sociopath Next Door."

I'd heard that crawfish withdrawal was bad, but who'd a thought!!!! Must have had himself a serious habit.

That must have been some really good crawfish.

I love me some crawfish but I don't think I'd shoot up a place if they ran out. I might throw a fit, but I wouldn't result to gun play.

I'm with the Dok here--I love a good crawdaddy boil, or a nice etouffee, but running out is not worth even very sharp words, let alone gunplay.

I have yet to find anyplace's efforts that is worth that much emotion, and I like crayfish, just no one around here knows how to cook them worth repeating, and I haven't felt like doing them myself recently.

I would say our poster boy was either jonesing really bad, or else was more than a little too tightly wrapped. Either way, way too much drama. Maybe they were using some secret ingredient in the local boil and that was what he was upset about.

Up this way, they make good fishbait. When I was a kid, I used to make money catching them, in the summers, and selling them to fishermen. To this day, I see a lobster and think "oversized crawfish".

Lobsters, crabs, crawfish - all closely related members of the same phylum, Arthropoda, which insects also belong to.

So they might as well all be cockroaches - overgrown as they may be.

Kelly finally was apprehended when a deputy opened the pickup door and dragged him from the vehicle.
That was beyond the call of duty. At that point in the event no one could have faulted the deputies for hitting him with tear gas and maybe a couple of those new miniature water balloon bullets.

If the store ran out why didnt he go catch some himself? We used to catch them all the time as kids and cook them. I even taught the kids how to catch them and they go down to our swamp sometimes and bring back one or two.

There is absolutely no excuse for emptying a magazine over someone being out of crawfish.

On the other hand, had they been out of soft-shell crabs ...

Although most people think of sharks and rays as exclusively saltwater inhabitants, quite a few species actually make use of freshwater living spaces.
