Jackson police said a man broke into a fast food restaurant but instead of cash, the suspect stole boxes of chicken.
Around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, officers responded to Church's Chicken on Woodrow Wilson Avenue for a business burglary. JPD Cmdr. Tyree Jones said that a black male was observed breaking into the rear storage area of the business. He was last seen leaving the location on a bicycle with several boxes of frozen chicken.
Officers later detained a suspect on a bicycle matching the description at Bailey Avenue near Vardaman Street. Cliff Hayes, 67, was arrested and charged with business burglary. Several boxes of frozen chicken were recovered and returned.

Was he starving or something? He still deserves to be prosecuted, but I'm interested in hearing his reasoning.
Also since he made his escape on a bike, I wonder if the bike was stolen.

reasoning was probably hunger and familiarity (or so he thought) with how to get into the restaurant. the charges will be less than if he tried to steal cash from a clerk or break into a private residence which might have people inside (since he's black, he would have gotten shot or charged with some kind of assault in that case on top of breaking and entering and larceny)
truly devastating news

I don't buy "hunger." Flip side of the fact that they give food stamps away like candy at Halloween is that really no one can claim to steal food out of desperation anymore. Add to that charity food pantries everywhere and other government programs, and it's unlikely...though I'd bet a case of chicken that will be his defense.
More like opportunity meets resale value in the hood. Stolen meat sold or bartered door to door is a common thing in the hood and housing projects.

WOW
I have personally witnessed something very similar to this. I live in richmond, virginia off of chamberlayne (shitty area). I went to get some popeyes, because god damn it, I love fried chicken. However, instead of going inside, there were groups of police and groups of street nigs laughing. Some fat nig tried to rob them of their chicken with a fake gun. Again.
This is more common than you would think. It's unfair that this makes the news and my popeye's never does.

I am deeply ashamed of all of you. Have you not realized this is the Col. Sanders unknown Black Twin brother. I bet that was HIS chicken and he was just taking it back.

Is church's chicken really good?

>The chicken was returned
I wouldn't want to eat there after that filthy nigger stole several cases of it. Who knows what he did to it or anything like that.
The story probably isn't all that bizarre in context. If the guy's stealing because he's impoverished, then I'm sure he was starving at the time.
>fled on bike, not in a car
Yeah, poverty sucks.
>>52582
shoot him and give the chicken back.
chicken lives matter.
