Woman Trashes St. Louis Burger Joint Over Lack Of Chocolate Ice Cream

http://thesmokinggun.com/buster/food-assault/ice-cream-rage-702834

Incensed that a St. Louis hamburger joint had run out of chocolate ice cream, a female suspect went on a 2:25 AM rampage, breaking out the restaurant’s windows with a baseball bat and spitting on employees, according to police. Officials are seeking the public’s help in identifying the woman who trashed the Rally’s Hamburgers outlet on March 27.

According to a St. Louis police summary, investigators classified the incident as a burglary and listed three women as victims. The suspect, cops say, became “enraged after ordering her food” and “then used an aluminum baseball bat to break the glass windows of the business” and threaten the victims (none of whom were injured).

Investigators say the woman went ballistic after Rally’s workers informed her they only had vanilla ice cream available. Upon learning that there was no chocolate ice cream in stock, she spit on employees and then set upon the business’s windows with a baseball bat

It is unclear whether the woman entered Rally's with a baseball bat or retrieved it from her car upon learning that no chocolate ice cream would be forthcoming. The suspect fled in a gray SUV before police responded to 911 calls from the restaurant.

Police described the suspect as a black woman between the ages of 25 and 35. She was wearing blue jeans, a green jacket, and a yellow shirt during the attack.

Police in St. Louis kill black people who haven't committed any crime.

She's taking her life into her hands...

The last time I was there, they ran out of chocolate!

But seriously, I don't think Wendy's chocolate is chocolate. They have a unique flavor all their own. They are delicious!

it is kind of "barely" chocolate. not too rich, just right.

(I went by there last week just to get a small Frosty and they said they were out of chocolate. I said never mind and drove off. )

Wow, you know lady, there is higher quality chocolate other places ( I am sure not to far away ) and I am sure it would not have been as expensive.

but if they have chocolate ice cream on the menu it's absolutely not fucking OK to be out of chocolate ice cream and these filthy scumbags need to learn.
St. Louis has a stand your ground law and this woman clearly has a case.

...even if you are on low carb, you have chocolate available to you. The Americas may have been behind tech wise and unable to withstand the onslaught of the conquistadors, but is was because they more advanced in the art of chocolate.
