Taking the “Cracker” Out Of “Cracker Barrel”

P-D:

Business meeting between 2 cousins leads to gunfire at Ferguson Cracker Barrel

ST. LOUIS • A business meeting between two cousins at a Cracker Barrel restaurant turned violent this morning when the men began arguing and one pulled a gun, police said.

The two men were inside the Ferguson restaurant shortly after 11 a.m. when they argued, said Tom Jackson, the Ferguson police chief.

They went outside, where one of them pulled a gun and fired between eight and 10 shots, some into the ground.

No one was struck, but the man who was shot at ran off. The shooter was taken into custody at the scene, and the second man later turned himself in at a St. Louis County police station.

The men are apparently in business together.

Probably not for much longer.

Among the P-D’s photos are one of the “shooter” cousin.  Yep.  Not a “cracker.”

This CB in Ferguson just might be the only one in the country that’s in danger of being “ghettoed” out of business.

Incidentally, the only Godfather’s Pizza in St. Louis is also in Ferguson.  Something last night made me look that up.  No way in hell I’m going to Ferguson for pizza, even if I were a Cainiac.
