A Shooting Over French Fries

Those who follow my blog would have read about my July 17 post which had highlighted Starbucks’ decision to close some US outlets because of safety concerns. 

And today, I read that a McDonald’s employee was left battling for his life after he was shot in the neck during an argument over cold french fries in New York. 

Twenty-three-year-old Matthew Webb was working at the fast-food joint on Fulton Street in northern Brooklyn, New York City on Monday when a woman complained the chips served to her were “too chilled”. 

According to NBC New York, it turned into a fight that spilled out into the street and down the block, which was when police said the woman called over another man, potentially 20-year-old Michael Morgan. Soon after, shots were fired, leading to a bloody scene on the sidewalk. 

The alleged gunman has been charged with attempted murder and weapons possession. 

Multiple gunshot incidents occur daily in the Big Apple. This is America, after all! 

And here’s another quote that resonates with me.
