Woman convicted in bacon-burger brouhaha at drive-thru
If I was to pull out a piece and fire every time drive thru messed up my order I would be doing 3 life sentences.
A freaking McDonald's cheeseburger is NOT, and never should be, a reason to eff up your life, and possibly end someone else's.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - Jurors today convicted a Grand Rapids woman of firing a handgun at a McDonald's drive-through after her cheeseburger was delivered without bacon.

The dust-up occurred about 3 a.m. Feb. 10, 2014 at the McDonald's on 28th Street near Madison Avenue SE, although seeds of discord were planted several hours earlier. That's when Torres and a friend stopped by the drive through for bacon cheeseburgers, but restaurant workers messed up the order. They spoke with the manager, who offered a complimentary bacon burger on their next visit.
When they returned later that night, they placed the same order and got the same result – a burger without bacon. Torres lashed out at a worker before yanking out the handgun and firing one round. The bullet shattered the driver's side window of the Chevy Tahoe before sailing through the restaurant.

Torres, 30, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, discharging a firearm into a building and felony use of a firearm, the latter of which carries a mandatory two-year term.
