(Newser) – A mugger stole a Chicago-area man’s tacos and nothing else on Sunday. The victim was walking back to his car carrying 16 tacos from a restaurant when he was cornered by a man in a black ski mask brandishing a machete. The mugger demanded the food but didn’t ask for anything else, then got in a car and drove off with his ill-gotten dinner, NBC Chicago reports.

""Inflation is getting out of control.""_____LOL... Inflation?! Did you misspeak? The US inflation rate has been NEGATIVE for the past 7 months. And who are the 4 people who agreed with you?? Am I missing something?

When your hungry your hungry. I'm surprised he had a car, id expect this from a homeless person who was starving and mentally ill.

Actually, you are not far from the truth (other than the reference to the NRA). In England, where gun control is very strict, new laws have been introduced to now restrict kitchen knives.
