via: Oprah KFC coupons causes riot, possible racial violence

It seems Oprah’s latest act of kindness didn’t go with out some drama. Oprah earlier this week announced she would be giving away a coupon for a free lunch @ KFC. When the coupon holders went to the various KFC locations, some shenanigans ensued.

“A tipster wrote in to Gawker saying that a “small riot” broke out at a KFC in NYC (see what I did there?). According to the source, they had just “returned from [a] lunch break hoping to use the attached coupon
to score some free KFC grilled chicken.”

The source then said that “around 200 people also had the same idea with coupons in hand.” After resolving to leave, giving up on free fried chicken-y goodness, the anonymous tipster reported that “a small RIOT started going on outside the store with people screaming at the manager while he wont let them use their free KFC coupons.”

Can we say sense of entitlement continues to plague this country? But there’s more…

“The people there are currently holding a sit-in and refusing to leave until they get their free chicken…or the cops are called. Racial epithets were being spewed, people who actually wanted to pay for chicken were facing a potential beatdown, and the manager ran from the screaming horde.”

So many things to say. Some too inappropriate. Now, if only there were videos like the one’s from the Popeye’s free chicken fiasco.
