Peter Riera, 44, opened fire in Port St. Lucie, Florida, during an argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay, according to witnesses.

…

All of the parties involved in the argument were said to have been drinking. No one was reportedly hit with gunfire. Two of the victims were arrested for resisting officers.

“Arming yourself with a handgun when you're under the influence is not a good idea. There's never going to be a good outcome with that," Mesiti noted.

1. So, I gotta ask.

How many eggs can a chicken lay?

[Irish_Dem]

5. I am not answering you in case you are holding a gun. :(

[MarineCombatEngineer]

13. LOL..

[Irish_Dem]

15. You know I avoid controversial issues.

[ret5hd]

7. yeah...i think they skipped over the...

most important part of the story.

just answer the question and stop future incidents!!!

10. One at a time.

18. Depends on the breed and health/environment of the chicken.

Our neighbor's "free range backyard chickens " tended to lay one egg at a time, but depending on the weather and I guess how stressed the chicken is, it could be twice daily or as as long as two weeks apart.
It could be a bit of an Easter egg hunt looking for random eggs if the hen didn't feel like brooding in the hutch. Some even ended up in our backyard; the chickens liked to hang out in the Mulberry tree next to the property line between us and them, and often ended up in our backyard.
(Free medium sized brown eggs, if we could keep our dog at the time from snarfing them down when we let her out in the backyard for "business" )

22. 1 a day is max.

they cant lay 2 in a day.

23. I'm good with the correction.

Can only describe what happened next door; they had a dozen and a half or so hens, and at least two or thee of them regularly visited our veggie garden and left eggs.
Also had wild bunnies and raccoons back there, the neighborhood was one of those 1930's/40's California city lots with the double backyard for gardens or fruit trees - off a canyon.

21. A hen will give you good egg-laying performance for about four years

The first year they're laying you can get 200 to 300 eggs out of one. It goes down by about 20 percent per year, so if you get 200 eggs in your first year you get about 160 in the second, 120 in the third, 80 in the fourth and after that you should go ahead and make soup out of that hen.

28. I had a small backyard flock for many years

These numbers are pretty much what my hens would do. One big problem we had was snakes, they would eat the eggs and could really cut into my daily egg harvest.

2. Okay I thought "Florida man" in the title was Trump.

26. Last name "Cocaine"

https://nypost.com/2025/04/15/us-news/florida-man-with-last-name-cocaine-arrested-after-allegedly-attacking-subway-employees-with-bad-attitudes/

A Florida man with the last name “Cocaine” was arrested for allegedly threatening employees at a Subway restaurant at knifepoint after he was upset by their “bad attitudes,” cops said.

Edward Cocaine, 45, was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly flipped out at a Subway in Brevard County while trying to order food with a pal.

Cocaine sparked an argument with the employees over what he believed was poor customer service, which quickly escalated after he had hurdled over the counter, pushed one of the employees and pulled out a knife, the Brevard County Sheriff said.

8. Possession of a loaded firearm while drunk should be a crime

Just like drinking and driving. It never ends well as the guy said.

9. The victims were arrested for resisting officers?

[irisblue]

11. Well I looked-I am very very urban

[cbabe]

12. Thank you for that. Think of all the mayhem avoided if only they did a quick search.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Right they could have looked it up. A chicken lays an egg a day at most.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. Yikes! It didn't show up in my search.

[maxsolomon]

17. This fucking country...

Pew pew, idiots.

[Deep State Witch]

19. Florida Man With a Gun

"Arming yourself with a handgun when you're under the influence is not a good idea. There's never going to be a good outcome with that." Yeah, dude. But it's FLORIDA. Need we say anymore?

20. Tell me Mercury went retrograde

without telling me Mercury went retrograde.

[rsdsharp]

27. So the cops arrested two of the three VICTIMS.

Again, there is no situation the cops can’t make worse.
