Sounds like a heated debate...
Been there. One month my mother brought home tabasco peppers. They, uh, tasted just like that. If I didn't have, 12+1+5+3+4+3 uh 28 different hot sauces and mustards to tide me over until we could go to the store
Edit 29 forgot the Vidalia onion/cascabella one
I have to know what kind of hot sauce this was over
I guess you could say he got really… fired up.
That’s inappropriate, a man is dead. I’m sorry.
We don't know, maybe he sucked and liked bad hot sauce or whatever
Slap ya mama seasoning just released a new hot sauce called kill ya uncle.
According to a probable cause statement obtained by FOX31, Vigil told officers that someone in the house was making a sandwich and asked for hot sauce. When Vigil reportedly responded that the condiment was in an upstairs bedroom, a verbal dispute broke out and quickly escalated into a physical fight.
I can't tell if I'm just getting old and jaded, but the 20 year old murder nephew was living with extended family (the Uncle), and while living there he decided that the household hot sauce bottle was acceptable to take (and keep?) in his personal bedroom. This smells like a certainly level of entitlement on the part of the nephew. The nephew then killing the uncle in the uncle's own house says it even more.
I think there's a reason assumptions make an ass out of you

Sure, you could say that about any new story you read on the internet. I have no desire and am in no position to act on my assumptions here on this news story, so I think making assumptions like these are fairly benign.
I also think there's a good amount of evidence that the nephew here is the cause of his own downfall. The uncle isn't the first man that the nephew has stabbed to death:
"In the documents, with sources confirming, Denver police previously arrested Vigil on Sept. 3, 2021, for the death of Timothy Gama, 54."

discussion got too hot and spicy
I get the feeling there was a lot of other shit boiling away under the surface here, and the hot sauce argument was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Bro wtf
Fucking Tabasco eaters...
Tabasco is trash
New Ads line: ‘This sauce is so good that you will kill your uncle.’
