Molotov Cocktail Thrown At Taco Bell - Politically Motivated???

Let's extrapolate just a bit. YUM Brands who owns Taco Bell gives more to the Republican Party (in fact, nearly twice as much) than they do the Democrat Party. See the chart below:

Let's play Devil's Advocate for a moment. Could this act of domestic terrorism have been perpetrated by someone who didn't like the fact that Taco Bell gave more money from 2004-2011 to the Republican Party? Or was there just not enough meat in his chalupa? Interesting......

In fact, we may never know. The perpetrator hasn't been caught.

Now, there was another incident involving an irate customer with a shotgun at Taco Bell in Lee's Summit, MO in the two months prior. This incident involved Jeremy Combs. Mr. Combs obtained the shotgun from a drug house and had three prior felony convictions:

Could this act of violence have been committed by Mr. Combs who may or may not have a grudge against Taco Bell for giving more money to the Republicans than the Democrats? The story states that there was not enough taco sauce in his bag so, and this is just my opinion, perhaps Mr. Combs feels that he might have been cheated by the Big Taco Bell Corporation and felt that they needed to redistribute some of the wealth in the form of more taco sauce.

Now, I'm not saying that the unapprehended perpetrator in the first story nor Mr. Combs in the second story are "anti-corporation" or "anti-capitalist", but they both certainly violently attacked a capitalist corporation. So, should we jump to the conclusion that there is no other explanation than they are anti-Republican, anti-corporation, anti-capitalist, anti-hamburger (think outside the bun, remember) domestic terrorists?

 

The first headline should read...

Protester Detonates Incendiary Improvised Explosive Device At Corporate Profit Center In Potentially Lethal Terrorist Attack

 

Tea Party, Fox...Tea Party, Fox...
Tea Party, Fox...Tea Party, Fox...
Tea Party, Fox...Tea Party, Fox...

Do I have the left wing mantra down?

 

I doubt that it was political. I think the thrower was more likely motivated by the quality of the food.

 

It is much more likely that this Domestic Terrorist merely used food as a ruse to gain access to the Corporate Property in order to initiate his Violent Attack and send his Anti-Capitalist Message. No one goes to Taco Bell with any illusions of getting quality food.

 

Not twice anyway.

 

I think the reason for the attack is in the article linked in the OP. And not long ago in Missouri a disgruntled customer pulled a gun on a TB employee over a hot sauce issue. It's all about the food. I rest my case.

 

We should not minimize, marginalize or foodize these anti-corporate terrorist attacks.

 

Indeed! According the the U.S. Code, these were definitely acts of domestic terrorism. Of course, Taco Bell has been known to make a few near-lethal bombs of their own...

UNITED STATES CODE: TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 113B > § 2331

The term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

There are actually questions as to whether Taco Bell can even call a "beef" taco a beef taco due to the low percentage of actual meat.

My personal opinion on this is that it's a textbook example of why stupid people shouldn't breed.
