San Bernardino County sheriff's officials said the pair felt disrespected, so when they entered the store a fourth time, one of the men walked around the counter and stabbed the clerk with a 7-inch folding knife.

The other man struck the clerk with an 18-pack of Anheuser-Busch Natural Ice beer.

Maybe the credit card company knew what beer they were buying...

But seriously, stabbing a shopkeep because you felt "disrespected" that a credit card was declined? Take it up with the credit card company.

They really wanted that shiatty beer.

I've seen more pathetic card rejections. There's a little corner market across the way from a snooty private school near my house. Pretty upscale market where you can get stuff like boar pate and whatnot. So anyway, this kid from the school tried to buy a soda with his debit card. Rejected. And he didn't have the $1.07 in cash to pay for the soda.

Could have been worse. Could have been Zima.

2 Locos.

If I were to go to the trouble of disabling the clerk, and assuming I had transportation nearby, I would take several cases, probably beef jerky, and maybe some cartons of cigarets. If you're going to stab the guy, you might as well take a few things. I mean it takes more than one case to have a case race.

....maybe some cartons of cigarets

cigarettes would have been helpful, he could have used them as currency when he gets to jail

1,000,000 bail for these 2 idiots?

Hesperia.

Well, yeah, if you can't get drunk there, you only have two choices for recreation: meth or stabbin'.

Or simply snatch and run, ffs. People must just farkin' hate themselves. Was that their 3rd strike or something and they just thought they'd go out in grand style with some attempted murder?

Why is it always the least respectable scumbags who are obsessed with maintaining "respect" under threat of violence? Try doing something worth respecting, for once...

I think you'll find that *anyone* who uses "disrespect" as a verb is a waste of skin. I have never known an exception.

This is why we pay the fee to overdraw our debit cards. The banks were right. See how it saves lives?

I don't think his point was that they were inventing a new word. His point was that anyone who thinks it matters that a wage slave store clerk "respects" you isn't generally someone worth respecting.

I think it was Heinlein who said, "The less respect a person deserves, the more likely he is to demand it".

18 pack of beer?? Beer comes in six packs, twelve packs, and cases. There's no such thing as an eighteen pack. Idiots!

Err.. then what would the word being used as a verb have to do with anything?

Time to watch Run, Ronnie, Run!

As someone who just cracked a 30-pack of Natty Ice (cracked it open, not against someone's head) I'm getting a kick...

Hope no one disrespects them in prison.

You could look at it this way. If that same subset of the population suddenly started correctly using another word, like "deleterious"... the rest of the population is going to assume they are dumbasses and don't really know what the word means.

Swipe - processing ......... DECLINED. "what!, no way , that can't be right. Let me try again" Swipe - processing ......... DECLINED. " OH MAN!!! I have $_____ in my account ! , let me try one more time" D E C L I N E D.

Then they proceed to flip through some $100's several $20's and a few $10's and $5's to pay for the pack of grape Cigarillo's they wanted.

I'll CUT YOU... a check.

Mario Naranjo, 44, and Miguel Naranjo, 22, both of Hesperia, were booked into jail in lieu of $1 million bail.


Doesn't the 8th amendment say something about 'no excessive bail'? Or are we not using that one any more?

don't get me wrong, they need to go to jail, but I think bail should be reasonable. 1 million is not reasonable.

I think it's perfectly reasonable for someone who attempts murder on a random stranger.
