A California man apparently could not wait for the local Taco Tuesday special...for him, robbing a man of his tacos was the answer.
This from AP:
FONTANA, Calif. — A hunger for carnitas nearly led to some carnage after a Fontana man was robbed of a bag of tacos at gunpoint.
Police Sergeant Jeff Decker says the 35-year-old victim had just bought about $20 in tacos from a street-corner stand Sunday night and was bicycling home when the suspect confronted him and said "Give me your tacos."
Decker says the suspect grabbed the bag of food, punched the victim in the face and began to flee.
When the victim demanded his tacos back, the suspect pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the man and threatened to kill him before running away.

My first thought was: I hope the man who got robbed was taking his stash of tacos home to share with someone, because $20 could buy you a sickening amount of Taco Bell!

my first thought was that they were probably good homemade-style tacos.

Oh yeah, true, I never thought of that. Probably because I wouldn't even know where to get good homemade-style tacos...

TheBigRuski, I like this story. It's good stuff.
You may have given us the first ever-document account of taco terrorism. ;}
