Man tries to shoot people over argument about how many eggs chickens lay
Story by Jenna Sundel • 21h

A Florida man allegedly fired a handgun at several people following an argument about how many eggs chickens can lay.

The Port St. Lucie Police Department said in a media release sent to Newsweek that 44-year-old Peter Riera was taken into custody on multiple charges after firing shots at three people outside Harper’s Pub in Port St. Lucie on Tuesday. None were hit by the bullets.
 
“I can confirm that an argument between the 3 victims and the Mr. Riera stemmed from a conversation about how many eggs a chicken can lay as Mr. Riera claimed to be a farmer who raised chickens.,” Port St. Lucie Police Master Sergeant and Public Information Officer Dominick Mesiti told Newsweek.

I wonder what made young Peter fly the coop and fancy himself as an eggsterminator...

Stop the insanity!!!!
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Or why do they cross the road.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Answer: About one a day in their prime in late-Spring to early-Fall ... Egg production usually drops in Wintertime (unless in controlled environments with artificial lighting)...

Ducks, about one every other day (sometimes more frequent)...

My parents had friends that owned an egg ranch and used to visit when I was a little kid, it was to me, disgusting. It was smelly, especially all the chicken sh*t, also seeing all the chickens he was ‘rejuvenating’ by plucking out most of their feathers was disquieting😱
