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.
Dahaha. Hooters makes sense over here. They show of a girl’s .. well.. hooters! (that’s what they call those twins in the t-shirt over here)
That is sad, though. Just plain stupid too!

I sort of gathered it was a pun on part of the female anatomy, I just couldn’t see the connection with a restaurant. Yes, sad.
