Two people were killed and three wounded in shootings before dawn Monday at four 7-Eleven stores in Southern California and authorities said they were seeking a lone gunman in at least three of the shootings.
The shootings appear to have occurred after robberies or attempted robberies at the four convenience stores on July 11, or 7/11 – a day when the national 7-Eleven brand is celebrating its 95th birthday by giving out free Slurpee drinks. More
Boy, talk about STUPID! Going in to rob a 7-11 on a day when they’re going to have less cash in the till and more witnesses around because they’re giving away free stuff.
If they were any stupider they’d be robbing FOOD banks.
“It wasn’t immediately clear to investigators what prompted the shootings.”
I could tell them, but deep down, I think they already know.
Maybe they were not happy that they were only giving away the small cup slurpees.
oh, thank heaven for 7-11
always did like their coffee, especially on a late-night OT shift
I remember the original 7-Day & then 7-11.
There was a law suit.This was in 1964?…..
All started in Jax,FLA ??? Come on Man!
I was 10…
Shootings at a 7-11? No good deed goes unpunished.
Again, remembering the E9 in my office at Andrews AFB murdered in 1974 when he was working a night shift. A 38 year old E9 with just 20 years of service gunned down for around a $100 robbery.
BUTTHEADICUS, 7-11 started in Florida? I remember when the first one opened in Mobile. Had no idea what it was. But I could read numbers. It looked out of place. It’s all built up now of course. But it was right next to the pier
well, kiss my ass & call it a love story … always thought 7-11 started in the Republic of Texas
color me … ‘wrong’
I just Googled it, says it was started in Pakistan. LOL
Dallas Texas, 1927.
Nanapur India, 1887
Back to the story, Riverside County is not big on carry permits. Peeps around here train a lot for just that gun fight.
I’m not lookingit up. 7-11s used to have comic books on these tall spinny racks. Conan is all I read.
Also, back in the day if you got raped by a jellyfish the approved method of treatment was wet mud.
But 7-11 has slurpees. Someone else has Icees, that’s the one with the bear on the cup. Where I live we ain’t got no 7-11 so I get squishies.
And I have to drive 40 miles to find comic books.
“Also, back in the day if you got raped by a jellyfish the approved method of treatment was wet mud.
Actually you would be begging one of us to piss on you. Just sayen.
I wish we had a convenience store around here with a frozen daiquiri machine, preferably with a drive-through window.
Or frozen margaritas. Margaritas would be just as good.
Hmm. “Interesting” phrasing I used there. I mean the C-store should have a drive-through lane, not a frozen drink machine you’d steer your car through.
I would have read Captain America but he was going through a white guilt phase in the 70s and let his black sidekick run most of the comic.
Meanwhile,Mr. Weatherbee discovers Jughead can identify all the ingredients in a food dish just by tasting it. And that month Batman fought this jackass dressed up like a playing card.
Oh, and that was the issue Conan went into a giant underground city of the dead.
No Brad, no one is gonna’ piss on a 6 year old. The fudge is wrong with you? Cool wet mud. We didn’t leave the beach, all I got were a few “poor little guy”. No bambulance, no lidocaine.
An hour later I was back in the bay looking for the sunken Nazi sub.
Burr, I’m serious, that’s the cure
Mud works fine. Had no plans regarding people peeing on my back, neck and cheek.
Now, whats the cure for fire ants? I stepped on a tall cone of them with bare feet once.
Have we learned nothing from TV, WKRP & Less Nessman?
They should have just dropped the slurpees out of a helicopter.
Why does Brad want to pee on me?
Oh go ahead, fill in the blank.
Kcir, “Oh the humanity, I never thought that Slurpees could fly.”
They should make Seven Eleventeenth a federal holiday.
With free Slurpees, large Big Gulps, free rip-off cheap food for their fat customers and malt liquor and menthol cigarettes for their black customers and free tacos and burritos for their Hispanic customers. Freebies for all, what could possibly go wrong?
@ Aaron Burr:
Ouch! I’ve run into fire ants exactly once. I happened to have nearby a bowl of lemon slices. Thinking, “Hmm, maybe something acidic will help,” I rubbed the bites with the lemon. Hallelujah! The pain stopped virtually instantly and never came back.
Note that this is a one-time event. I’ve no idea if this works for everybody, but I’d say it sure is worth a try. Damn, but those bites hurt!
The semi-permanent solution for a fire ant infestation is a tactical nuke. You might kill some of the beneficial bugs with that, though. And the neighbors might gripe.
Oh I only did it once. In Mobile. At the behest of my older brother. I was little. Had never heard of or seen fire ants before.
Stepped. Instant regret. Brother laughed. I cried all the way down the crushed seashell driveway and was met by the babysitter.
She was pretty busy watching the Posiden adventure so I got a cold cloth. Foot swelled up and all that.
@AB — Did you ever get back at your sadistic sibling? Seems to me he earned some pain…
Get back? For what? I learned valuable lessons in human behavior at his hands. Favorite trick?
In the car, he has a candy bar or chips, whatever. I say “can I have some?” Then he looks at me while tossing whatever it was and saying “I’D RATHER THROW IT AWAY THAN GIVE IT TO YOU!!!”
Man I fell for that I don’t know how many times.
tossing it out the window
