South Carolina Man Shoots Cousin He Warned Not To Eat His Potato Chips

A South Carolina man is facing an attempted murder charge after police say he shot his teenage cousin after warning the victim not to eat his salt and vinegar potato chips. “Do not touch my chips, or I’ll shoot you,” Ryan Langdale allegedly told the victim according to a sheriff’s incident report.

Ryan Langdale, 19, of Colleton County, turned himself into deputies on Wednesday and was charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and obstruction of justice.

The victim was rushed into surgery with life-threatening injuries before being transferred to a Charleston area hospital. The victim told authorities he never actually ate the chips as Langdale claimed.

Langdale remains behind bars in lieu of $55,000 bail.

You have to hunt him down and shoot him.
Just make sure you are standing on the ground when you do it; apparently, that makes it legal in some states.
