We may never know why, but robbers allegedly made off with about 26,000 pounds of Tyson chicken wings near Atlanta, Georgia earlier this month.

That’s about $65,000 worth of frozen meat.

A January 28 article by ABC News more information:

Dewayne Patterson and Renaldo Jackson, who both worked at the Nordic Distribution Center, allegedly backed a rental truck up to the back of the loading area at the center and loaded 10 pallets of Tyson frozen chicken wings onto the truck. The pair then made off with the poultry, but were seen by management, according to a police report obtained by ABC News.

Investigators at the Gwinnet County police department arrested Patterson, 35, and Jackson, 26, a week later, on Jan. 23.

They each face felony theft charges.

Police did not yet know the status of the wings.

But a woman claiming to be the mother of suspect Dewayne Patterson defended her son: “He’s a really law-abiding person,” the woman said. “That’s why I don’t understand that at all.”

One clever commenter speculated that it might be part of an elaborate scheme before the Super Bowl.

“$65,000 in chicken wings? Sounds like a well-planned heist with the Super Bowl coming up,” James Collins joked WGCL-TV.

Here’s the WGCL-TV report from what’s probably the most unusual story you’ll read today:

Sure he’s a law-abiding person. He’s just REALLY, REALLY hungry! Don’t you feed him?

I could have understood it if the Falcons had made to the Super Bowl. Still, I’d be on the look-out for a hot heist.

It bugs me when journalists refer to theft as robbery as noted in the caption. Robbery is to take by force or threat. None of that here. It was theft.

There are so many things one could say here. Most of them are too obvious so I’ll let them go. 26K wings has to be over 100K wings. Just how many are in your posses that you need over 100 K wings? Or maybe they were going into business?

It took a week to make an arrest. The Police do not know the status of the wings.
My guess, they have been consumed by the folks in the projects, and are now floating in the sewer system.

  ICARE…..Come on man, lighten up. Black folks create their own stereotypes.
  They do love chicken, watermelon, Kool-Aid, wearing oversized hoodies, and wearing their pants down to their knees.
  
  Whites have many stereotypes too. When made fun of, Whites just laugh right along with the joke.
  Nothing wrong with poking a little fun, as long as it’s based in truth.

Hmmm, Imagine that!!! kind of reminds me of this newscaster from the NE interviewing a lady from the 9th Ward in N’awlins, right after Katrina…News lady asks her about the flooded churches in the neighborhood and how it was going to affect them over the next few months before they could get back up and operating…the woman from N’awlins says, “I ain’t worried ’bout churches, I gets my chickens from Popeye’s…and the gov’t worries about us feeding the bears…

Why do Black criminals’ Mothers almost always defend their crooked Kids’ actions?
A White Mother would say, “Teach him a lesson. Lock up his sorry ****, and throw away the key”.

Outside Day, In the city: A guy wearing a long coat walks up to another pedestrian on the street. He quickly checks over both shoulders before opening the coat to reveal its contents hanging from inside. In a whisper he says, “Hey man, you wanna buy some wings?”

Racists! To associate chicken wings and black people is Racist.. racist racist racist. Where is Jesse?! Where is Al Sharpton (he wants his cut of those tasty wings for his next hunger strike). Where is calypso Looey, and his space aliens?

  It’s really a shame that all these coincidental things keep happening that seem to reinforce stereotypes. Like Obama getting hold of the country’s credit card. Just remember people, they’re just coincidences. That’s all. Move on.

  GOURDY, I like Franks and actually keep an assortment on hand for a variety of things. Always have several of the Tabasco flavors, Franks, naturally, even Texas Pete which I prefer on certain things. As well, I make my own hot sauce from a variety of peppers soaked for a year or more in apple cider vinegar. Stuff is good for you!
  
  Damn ZIPIT, I almost fell out of my chair laughing at that. Actually, typing is a chore at the moment. LOL!

  He once alluded to an encounter with “the Bain boys” while working as an imaginary bell hop before he became an imaginary Marine and an imaginary lawyer until his imaginary “busy” retirement today.

How much ranch dressing would you need for 26,000 pounds of wings?

  FUBARED, I forgot to mention earlier but thought you might get a kick out of this. My son is an electrical engineer student and works full time and has little time to peruse The Blaze. While he was here last night he saw your avatar and asked about it. I pulled it up in the search engine and he literally split his gut laughing. I was surprised that he had never seen that pic of Khalid Rosie Shaikh Mohammed O’Donnell.
  Your sense of humor is well appreciated.
