Do you think they probably just hit the wrong trailer…or is the stereotype that true?

You sell out the back of a truck in the hood. They could do it in under an hour.

But does every culture have that stereotype followed by a news story where they steal $250 million worth of it to slang in the ghetto?

Don’t worry…I’ll be sure to chime into the white guys steal a trailer of mayonnaise thread whenever that happens. I’m an equal opportunity shite poster.

How many help wanted signs at Popeyes did these 13 fowl thieves ignore on their way to the free chicken extravaganza, really ruffles the feathers.
