Missing Picture

Enrique Santana, 26, and Daniel Rodriguez, 20, wanted to make a viral video, police said. So the would-be stars went to a Burger King in Kendall, Fla., and made royal nuisances of themselves, harassing employees and customers. But a customer, taking them for robbers, followed them out when they left, arming himself with a machete. The witness said one of the man yelled to the other to “shoot him!” — so witness raced to his car and swapped his machete for a gun. The video team drove off but returned, and exchanged shots with the witness, police said. Santana and Rodriguez sped off again, and for some reason returned again — but by then, police had arrived, and arrested them. (AC/Miami Herald) ...So where’s the parking lot video? This sounds much more exciting than a couple of obliviots annoying Burger King customers.
