A shootout occured between father and son over how to cook chicken

[Champ]

BLUEWELL, WV-September 29, 2004 — A family meal erupted into a gun battle after a father and son clashed over how to cook chicken.

The two men argued Sunday over the best way to prepare skinless chicken for dinner.

"It started out as a physical confrontation, but it escalated until both of them were shooting at each other," Detective Sgt. A.D. Beasley of the Mercer County Sheriff's Department said Monday.

Beasley said each man fired a .22-caliber handgun at the other. Harley Shrader was struck by a bullet that went through the upper part of his right ear and lodged in the back of his head. He was treated at a hospital and released. The elder Shrader was not injured.

Jackie Lee Shrader, 49, was charged with malicious wounding and wanton endangerment. Harley Lee Shrader, 24, was charged with wanton endangerment.

3. I keep seeing this, but I still don't know

which is the best way to cook skinless chicken. I like to broil with a light lemon marinade.

15. The Correct Way

Honey barbeque.

And I will back that up with a .45, if necessary.

[Wickerman]

16. oh, geeez

Good thing its not illegal to own an assualt weapon anymore. You, put that chicken down and back away from the grill.

17. My Chicken Preparation Skills Are Completely Entwined With My Identity

So much so that any insult to them is a personal affront to all that I stand for, a dilemma which can only be resolved through violence.

19. Let's settle this

My chicken grilling techniques are the best! :D

[Wickerman]

21. Great, now we are looking at a three way gun battle

Champ, you didn't mention a weapon of choice.

[lightbulb]

4. Natural Selection

As long as nobody else was hurt, it would be hard to pity either one of them.

(yes, I know, I sound just like a freeper, etc.)

5. Wanton Endangerment?

They were trying to kill each other. How about attempted murder? Assault with a deadly weapon? He shot his son in the head and the best they can come up with is wanton endangerment?
