And at the 11:11...

Murder suspect Tremayne Durham travelled from New York to Oregon (by bus... that's seriously pissed off) to kill a guy who wouldn't refund a deposit on a custom ice cream truck that he'd ordered. Then...

Last week, as part of a plea deal, he got it. Two kinds. Circuit Court Judge Eric Bergstrom agreed to the unusual arrangement.

Shortly after pleading guilty, Durham sat down to a feast of KFC chicken, Popeye’s fried chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and Hagen-Dazs ice cream.

Durham is a black guy. He chose the food, but could you imagine if a prosecutor sat down and offered KFC and Popeye's chicken to him? When I first heard the story I thought that was the case and, well, thought "holy shit. This could set race relations back to the forties."

The story continues:

And when he is sentenced next month, he’ll dine on calzones, pizza, lasagna and ice cream.

Italian food... so he's Sicilian? I like that both meals include ice cream since the murder was over an ice cream truck negotiation. If I was the prosecutor, I'd be like "no deal on the ice cream, you sick fuck." I guess the negotiation saved a lot of money on court costs.

goochout.
