An Uber Eats driver is being sought in Atlanta, Georgia for allegedly shooting a customer after a dispute and fleeing the scene:

An UberEATS driver was on the run Monday after a man who ordered a meal from the online food delivery service was killed in a late night shooting in Atlanta over the weekend, police told local media.

The 30-year-old man was shot multiple times after exchanging words with the driver in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, police told Atlanta's NBC affiliate WXIA, channel 11.

Also at WSB-TV, 11Alive, and AJC.

    I should point out that the gun manufacturers killing lots of people for profit makes them no different from any other industry. As George Carlin put it: "As long as we're killing people, Dow Chemical and Marlboro cigarettes will be proud to participate."

    But I should also point out that the belief that guns are necessary to protect freedom probably agree with this:

    Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

    Until, of course, they realize that that statement was from Chairman Mao as a justification for his oppression of millions of Chinese people.
