A 16-year-old girl allegedly stabbed another teenage girl to death in Washington, D.C., early Sunday, police said. The stabbing happened during an argument over McDonald’s sauces, CBS affiliate WUSA-TV reported.

Naima Liggon, 16, was brought to a local hospital where she died of her wounds, the Metropolitan Police Department said.

According to police, the teens — both from Waldorf, Maryland — had ordered food at a D.C. McDonald’s and then got in a car together, CBS affiliate WUSA-TV reported. The two then got into an argument over the sauces they had been given, which led to the stabbing, WUSA reported.

    I’d bet that this was not about the sauce. There is either some mental illness or something else at play.

      Yeah, smells like the famous last straw, the drop that overflows the bucket. Maybe they were generally cross, or the action was emblematic of the real issues. We don’t know for sure, but there is likely more than just people stabbing over sauce.

        Reminds me of those two Russian guys in the antarctic research station. One wound up stabbing the other because he kept spoiling the ending for every book he tried to read. I gotta wonder what the book count was. Like, 5 or less that seems unreasonable, but once you hit like 15-20 books ruined, that seems like valid response.

      I honestly think that it can be explained by them being 16. At that age you’re a hormonal nightmare person whose brain is particularly underdeveloped when it comes to executive function. It wasnt just about the sauce but I get the feeling that if you were to ask it would end up being some vague, ill-defined thing like “she been disrespecting me” or other shit that kids get all fired up about that doesn’t actually matter at all.

        I was a basketcase at that age, but yet somehow, miraculously, did not murder (or even HARM) anyone.

          When I was a teenager fistfights were a fairly common occurrence, even among kids who would consider themselves good friends and often for reasons that couldn’t be articulated later. A fistfight isn’t the same as a stabbing, but a fistfight is closer to a stabbing than it is to nonviolence. Our brains just aren’t finished yet. I’m not saying that at 16 someone shouldn’t be able to understand that stabbing someone for almost any reason is wrong, nor am I saying this person shouldn’t be held to account in some way. I’m just saying that if you’re asking “why?” sometimes the answer is gonna be “We’re fucked up, some of us more than others.”

            I’m not really asking anything- just shaking my head and watching freak show that is American (I’m on of them) society’s collapse, shaking my head.

    Imagine throwing your life away and killing another person… over free packets of sauce that they’ll just give to you if you ask.

      I thought it was about which sauce was the best of something.
      Like, it’s clearly the Big Mac sauce and I will die on that hi… 🔪

      Not sure if this or the rick and morty sauce idiots were worse. I suppose the rick and morty ones are just an embarrassment trying to be a meme and this is just basic idiots. Both are stupid as fuck though

          Fair point. I’m just desensitised to Americans killing each other for stupid reasons nowadays.

      There is, but it boils down to “they were stupid and self-centered little shits who weren’t raised right”.

      Our obsession in this culture with “motive” belies the fact that some people are just fucking dipshit assholes who ruin things for the rest of us. And we enable them.

    Not really related to McDonald’s unless they added something in the sauce to make them so high

    I had some friends from Waldorf and they used to tell me how trashy the place was. This article confirms.

      It’s a very rough town with a nice coat of paint in some places.

      These are basic morons not the ‘special’ type that rick and morty brings out in people.

        A show about a person who gets away with doing whatever deranged and horrible thing he wants to whomever he wants with no lasting consequences would bring out the worse in their fandom.

        Hmm.

    I half-jokingly suggested in another thread that PFAS and microplastics were making us all stupid, but… maybe they are?

      no reason to blame the micro. macro economics shows we are actively dismantling our education system. so stupid is getting thicker, but its by design.
