Man Shot in the Groin Over Bag of Potato Chips

A few weeks back Brandi and I talked about a stabbing over potato chips. Well, someone in Detroit is taking things up a notch.

Violent crime in Detroit is something that has plagued the city for years, but the absurdity of this makes it even more surprising.

A man was shot in the groin over some potato chips. In the groin. A guy just going about his business, hanging out, walking down the street has his chips snatched and then he gets shot in the junk:

A 59-year-old man told police that he was walking in the 20300 block of Conant when a man approached and snatched his chips from his hand. The victim reportedly told the suspect “Yo, man, give me back my chips” and grabbed them back. The man then pulled out a handgun and shot the victim in the groin, police said.

 

The 79 cents a bag of potato chips costs doesn't seem worth going to prison for the better part of your lifetime, but maybe that's just me.
