i was just poking fun a little.
That's definitely not a normal "local bar interaction"
No lies tho, one night in the 90s in Chiefs, as we hung out, a guy walked, looking disheveled as fuck, obvious blood spattered here and there on him, and looking like he had been in a fight.
walked up to the bar, People made room, he ordered a beer and downed it.
then the news came on with an interruption about an attempted homicide in Oakland and the suspect being at large, as he was drinking his second beer.

He just shrugged, downed the rest of his beer, slapped down a 20 and said:
"I guess I better get moving." and walked out.
