It’s already an American cliche. I’ll take it a step further, even. An American GHETTO cliche. And that is a huge fight or brawl that takes place over some stupid AF fast food issue or discrepancy. A handful of those times, it leads to gunplay. And once in a while, it actually leads to murder. OVER F*CKING FAST FOOD!!!! This most recent example of this checks off all the stereotypical boxes. Read on to see what I mean.
Shortly after prosecutors announced the murder charge in the case, family members of Meekins gathered for a vigil outside the Steak ‘n Shake in Spanish Lake, Missouri, where she was shot and killed on the night of April 8th. Spanish Lake is about a half hour north of St. Louis.
“Chauncia just so happened to be in harm’s way; this could have been anyone’s child, at the convenience store buying potato chips, at the gas station taking too long at the pump.”
By the way, that is when you know that a society, especially those in the ghetto, have just lost their minds. This quote shows me that this isn’t even shocking anymore. Should anyone be shot while buying potato chips? Should they be shot for taking too long at the gas pump? I mean, what the f*ck are they talking about? How do you even try to make sense of this? Here’s the news. This doesn’t happen just anywhere. It will never be anyone’s child. Most American cities will never have to worry about an incident like this taking place.
St. Louis County prosecutors said 20-year-old Jada Bell is charged with six felonies in the case, including murder and armed criminal action. P.S. Check out her stupid f*cking face in her mugshot. She is clearly retarded.
Here’s another bizarre quote from someone who is just so used to violence that they have somehow normalized this.
“I saw my daughter as she’s getting ready to be laid to rest. She looked beautiful, she looked happy, right, and I didn’t know why, but now I know why she is happy … because her crime has been solved,” Chauncey Lovell Meekins, Chauncia’s father said.
Family members noted that while it doesn’t bring Meekins back, it does set in motion the chance for accountability. Yeah. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Who really cares about accountability? What does that even mean?
“As a family, as a whole, we will be pushing for the death penalty — not for revenge, but to set an example because we need to stop this senseless violence out here,” Anthony Willhite, Meekins’ cousin, told the station.
Bell was being held on a $1 million, cash-only, no 10% deposit bond.
Court records say that Bell pulled up to the Steak ‘n Shake drive-through window and had a dispute with employees, including Meekins, over her food order. Bell threw her drink at Meekins, who threw it back at her. Bell fired several shots from a handgun at Meekins, who died as a result of the shooting. That simple. Makes sense, right?
Another person was shot in the hand, during the shootout. Police say that the shooting was recorded on surveillance video from the restaurant. Bell’s phone was in the area at the time of the shooting.
Meekins’ mother, Tamela Washington, told the media that the argument was over onion rings: “It’s never that serious to take a person’s life over fast food.” No shit, Sherlock. Jesus Christ!! This whole story is actually pathetic and angering. But it’s just another day in St. Louis. Do you got your plane tickets yet?
