[url]http://www.azfamily.com/news/Employee-killed-at-Mesa-QuikTrip-289419181.html[/url] [Quote=AZFamily] Police said Altamirano shot the clerk because he didn't think he was getting his cigarettes fast enough. Altamirano reportedly dumped change on the counter, and the clerk told Altamirano he needed a moment to count the money. "As the clerk is saying that, our suspect produces a handgun," said Mesa Police Det. Steve Berry. "The clerk, obviously seeing the handgun, does grab a package of cigarettes and hands them directly to the suspect, at which point the suspect just shoots our victim." Friends identified the clerk as 21-year-old Grant Ronnebeck.[/Quote] Grant Ronnebeck was one of my friends, known the dude for over seven years. Shot and killed over cigarettes.
I don't even know what to say. That's just awful.
Smoking kills. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Dumb snipe." - Seiteki))[/highlight]
All this over some smokes. Depressing. [editline]23rd January 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=The_Gardek;46991588]Smoking kills.[/QUOTE] Really?
[QUOTE=The_Gardek;46991588]Smoking kills.[/QUOTE] Except it didn't even kill the fucking smoker.
He was killed not a mile from my house, in a Q.T we used to walk to countless times after school.
He clearly wasn't thinking clearly. He's going to have to wait much more in prison.
What a senseless crime, truly terrible. I'm sorry for your loss Hoboiam.
I'm willing to bet that the shooter was absolutely wired on crystal meth. What a senseless crime, and what a disgusting man. No reputable lawyer will touch this with a 10 foot pole, and no jury will have pity for this man. He will spend the rest of his natural born life in the booty house.

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;46991822]what makes you assume this?[/QUOTE] Shooting a man for taking too long getting your cigarettes, after he's given you your fucking cigarettes, is not something a sane, sober person does.
My fiance is a cashier at Pilot, shit like this scares the fuck out of me. :( Condolences to you friend.
fuck man, this sucks so much my condolences mate
Tragic. I'm sorry for your loss. Assuming [URL="http://instagram.com/gronnebeck/"]this[/URL] is him? he looked like he really enjoyed his life.
this is some no country for old men shit right here really sucks though, there's a pretty sweet clerk at my local Q.T. named steve. every time I go there to get a soda and some of them sweet, delicious, fantastic heart attacks of taquitos I engage in some pretty interesting conversations with him. Steve likes to sit at home and watch WWE wrestling and he also plays video games. He's been working there since 1991. Pretty sure he's a manager. Every time I pay with my card he always does some legit magic trick shit with it and looks like a pro. Shit man, one time I forgot my wallet and Steve let me take what I was going to buy home with me and he was like "it's cool man, I know you'll be back" and I was like "thanks Steve". If steve ever died I'd be sad as fuck. I feel your pain man.
This guy is like a killer from a The Mentalist episode.
Make sure that man never leaves prison. People with a manic and fucked up head like that don't belong in our society. RIP man.
Shit like this makes me glad I don't work at a gas station anymore, thankfully I never met anyone this insane but there were a couple freaks out there. People like that make me sick.
This is one of those cases where "fuck rehabilitation" applies, imo. Shooting someone because he didn't give you your cigarettes fast enough? That guy WILL kill again if left free, it's just a matter of when.
Just another case to throw on the fire of why we as a planet need to switch to bitcoins. No counting!
NOT ANOTHER SINGLE RATING OTHER THAN FRIENDLY You have finally become mature, FP.

[QUOTE=Ramen;46993578]Just another case to throw on the fire of why we as a planet need to switch to bitcoins. No counting![/QUOTE] Yeah especially since there is no other way to pay funds from your account, like some sort of card that debits your account.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;46993768]NOT ANOTHER SINGLE RATING OTHER THAN FRIENDLY You have finally become mature, FP.[/QUOTE] No worries, I'm on it. [editline]23rd January 2015[/editline] Fixed it.
People treat clerks like such absolute shit sometimes. Every now and again on break from work I walk over to the gas station/store nearby for snacks, and every single day the clerk is dealing with some guy who simply cannot understand that he/she must speak clearly and be precise about the lotto/cigarette packages he wants in order to get it quickly. One time I had to wait for five minutes because they guy kept pointing directly at the package of cigarettes he wanted, which is kind of like standing across the room and pointing at the specific number on a bingo card while another person tries to figure out if you're asking him to get a glass of water. Eventually he gave up and tried to say the name of the brand he wanted, but he absolutely refused to speak louder than a cockroach and after 4 minutes ended up just guiding the clerk's hand one step at a time along the grid towards his pack with hand signals. Afterwards while talking to the clerk she told me that he just doesn't speak loudly to her- she hears him talk to other people loudly and clearly, and just decides to act like an asshole. After hearing that I really wanted to catch up to the man and say all of the things that the clerk couldn't say for fear of being fired. This doesn't seem like that, though, since the tape shows that he killed the clerk even as he was being handed the product he asked for. This guy seems like he just wanted to murder somebody and was looking for any excuse, or he was high and crazy as fuck. Either way he deserves a fuck-ton of time in prison for what he did.

This has to be the most (no pun intended) trigger-happy and short-fused guy ever.
My condolences to you and his family, man. Right until the end, he was trying to help- he sounds like a fantastic guy.

And this is yet another reason i will never live in mesa,ill take scottsdale anyday.
