I produced the “world news” page for the Kalgoorlie Miner recently and came across the “Hooters shooter” incident while browsing AAP.

In brief, a disgruntled diner started firing at the building with a handgun and killed a person.

I’ve been unhappy with restaurants before, but never to the point of violence. My biggest grips are slow service and the steak not being cooked right.

It’s like road rage. I get cross sometimes, but can’t imagine I would ever want to thump someone over a motoring incident.

Why do some people react to adverse situations with violence?

And how can a restaurant chain be called Hooters?

The only more ridiculous name I’ve come across is Wimpies in South Africa.
