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.
Fucking Tabasco eaters...
- Tabasco is trash
- New Ads line: ‘This sauce is so good that you will kill your uncle.’
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."

- I wanna know what he was doing with that bottle of hot sauce in the privacy of his bedroom. Possibly it subsequently failed a sniff test and that was what led to the argument.
  
  I doubt it was anything that insidious. I'm thinking its more the carelessness of taking a household resource and removing it to a private space making it unavailable to the rest of the house. Someone that doesn't think of others would do that, and it was likely simply the most recent example of him doing that.
I have to know what kind of hot sauce this was over
Sounds like a heated debate...
I guess he's not the Top... uhh... Tío.
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
Bro wtf
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
discussion got too hot and spicy
