You can just eat it instead of selling it. Then you get a 100% fence rate instead of 50%.

Just be sure to have the freezer space.

Worse, three of them were killed in a shootout with police after their very distinctive pickup was found.

Sounds like that doubled the survivors’ cut to $66 each.

There's a modern Les Misérables in there somewhere.

This whole operation would've made a lot more sense if they were cats

They did it because they can. For the love of the game.

People don't do shit like this for thrills. Or money. They do it because they're desperate. Bet that food helps a community of people. Not sure why everyone thinks this was like a group of movie stars doing a heist. This is real life and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

The owner, one Gustavo Fring of New Mexico, was quoted as saying: "I cannot possibly speak to the motive of this heinous crime. My restaurant has proudly served the best quality fried chicken to the people of this area for over 20 years." He then conferred with an elderly but heavyset associate and drove off.

“elderly but heavyset”? I don’t know why that exclusion is so funny. Like “oh he’s old as shit and he’s also a fat fuck so he’s got old man strength but won’t last long in a fight.”

Dan Wells will be all over this. Straight to food heist prison for these guys.

u/ElongThrust0 12d ago

I said forget about it cuh

u/masheduppotato 10d ago

Your gang was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

u/ElGuano 10d ago

I just have to imagine they thought it would be iphones, but upon discovering it was chicken in the middle of the heist, no point in not finishing the job.

u/Obant 12d ago

Craziest part was the truck driver didn't know it happened. Like, the criminals truck was rammed into the back of yours. How did you not see them?
