As I said last time, posts in this category are less frequent in recent years. See "Good Reason To Kill #77: Summoned Bigfoot To Kill You First (July 13 2022). This is partly because I prefer not to report on cases in which the victim has been killed. However, exceptions can and have been made based on specific facts such as the use of an excuse related to Bigfoot. Fortunately, this was not a case where an exception would have been necessary, as the victim did not appear to be seriously injured when his roommate shot at him after he ate the last Hot Pocket.

I don't think I've eaten a Hot Pocket. I may have, but I can't remember. Wikipedia describes "Hot Pockets", as an American brand of microwaveable turnovers that generally contain one or more types cheese, meat or vegetables. The developers of the Tastywich, described as the "predecessor of the Hot Pocket", introduced it in 1980. Hot Pockets replaced the Tastywich, after further innovations which are not mentioned. This happened in 1983. Nestle purchased the company in 2002. You can find out more on their official website.

Hot Pockets seem to have a lot of controversy, but many people enjoy them. It's doubtful that anyone would kill to get one, but one man was willing to use deadly force to stop someone from eating the last Pocket.

Police in Louisville, Kentucky arrested a 64 year old man on May 21 for assault. His roommate had shown up with a gunshot injury at the University of Louisville Hospital. Clifton Williams, 64, was arrested for assault on May 21 in Louisville, Kentucky, after his roommate arrived at the University of Louisville Hospital with a gunshot wound. Williams did not pursue, and the man "traveled a few blocks" to get help, after which he was transported to the hospital and treated for "non-life-threatening injuries."

Many reports have covered this incident. However, I would recommend WLKY.com because they show what appears as Mr. Williams mugshot in which he does not appear to be apologetic.

While many people cherish each Hot Pocket individually, we can say with certainty that they are more likely violent when someone takes the last one in a limited quantity. For example, see "Good Reason to Kill #19. Took all the Crab Legs." (Dec. 2, 2013, or "Good Reason to Kill 18: Ate the last donut." (June 27, 2011, for examples). This is how it all began. The article "Good Reason to kill #1: Roommate used the last roll of toilet paper" (Feb. 21 2006) explains this. This last one is a little less absurd after the pandemic when toilet paper was scarce for a time. I saw people tear into a newly-unloaded pallet at Costco, which looked like something out of World War Z. I didn't want to know what happened to the person who took the last roll.
