What Is Going On In This World- Waiter Murdered In France Over Slow Service

[gordiescotland1]

What on earth is happening in this world? Someone in France gets murdered because of slow service making a sandwich. I thought I had heard it all

I'm not sure about the reasoning... //the customer had lost his temper at the pizza and sandwich shop because of the length of time it had taken to prepare his meal//

There is clearly a lot more to this "customer's problems" than having to wait. It may have been the trigger though.

I don't know, gordie, I just don;t know.

[aelmpvw]

it wouldn't be surprising if it was in america

[janzman]

I rather suspect a one word answer to this one---drugs

[Mamyalynne]

How dreadful, someone ready to snap and anything could have caused it.

[elliemay1]

... and I don't think that he has been caught yet

[youngmafbog]

And if caught will no doubt be 'known to the police'.

unfortunately, the human race is susceptible to time...the longer we exist, the worse we erode. And systems like capitalism and democracy make it worse by allowing people to become sociopathic. Look at the US fr example. On wikipedia- list of serial killers by nation, the US has 8 pages... more than all other nations combined. The reason is these systems allow for people to not deal with their issues or evolve into functioning humans by either trying to fill that sucking black hole inside with materials and desensitizing themselves to the human plight, or by promoting violence and sex then punishing us for that very thing... then top it off with Trump... you have exactly what the nation deserves.

In short, human beings are animals and monsters. What s needed is a systematic reduction of the human population to a more manageable level (by non invasive, non violent means, like what china did with their one child rule) and systems that make the human the TOP priority, not the means to an end, such as wealth. In capitalism, the ladder of success is climbed ONLY by sociopaths, because the rungs on the ladder are people. Socialism and TRUE communism are the only way out of our hellish existence that results in murdering someone because they were too slow. And dont even get me started on the revamping necessary of the prison system.

[david small]

Agree with janzman, drugs.

[Gromit]

I must admit I have been similarly tempted.
Went to the bar in my local Wetherspoons and emerged having grown a moustache and beard, and very very thirsty.

gromit, get the app, sit at table, order, drinks etc arrive, tada!

I just wonder how he thought that killing the waiter would get his sandwich made quicker.

davidchapman, the one child rule in china resulted in the wholesale destruction of girl foetusses and the abandonnment of girl babies because familieds wanted a boy child followed by a period of girl child abduction and sale when those boy babies needed wives and there was a shortage. I agree that globally the world may be over populated but I don't think the Chinese example is a good one.

and here we have a mandarin stabbed outside the Home Office

[Spicerack]

As of last night, can't see any new reports, the police said they knew his identity and were looking for him.
Wouldn't it be sporting if they shared his identity with the public so that 'we' might avoid him?

[Peter Pedant]

they dont normally ( give out the name of a suspect ) unless he thought to be a danger to the public

and (joke alert) if you say - but he was crrying a knife!
in that case you would have to name the whole of Brixton High St, and it would read a bit like the London telephone directory - - - ter daah!

[Spicerack]

^Of course, I never thought of that. What possible danger could he be to the public.
