A Missouri man shot and killed his uncle in an apparent dispute over some pork, police said.

John Cunningham

John Cunningham, 43, of Jennings, Mo., near St. Louis, used a shotgun to kill Lessie E. Lowe, 44. Police said the two began arguing early Monday over the proper term for the pork — Cunningham said they were pork steaks, Lowe disagreed calling them pork chops.

The dispute became physical and the two men were separated, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Cunningham, who police noted had been correct about the pork steaks, went to another part of the home, grabbed the shotgun and blasted his uncle, fatally wounding Lowe, officials said.

Cunningham was charged with first-degree murder.

    Good thing public schools and liberalism taught minorities to fight and kill for what they believe in.

    I grew up in St. Louis and there is absolutely no mistaking the difference between pork steaks and pork chops.

    When you grill pork steaks it’s done slowly over low heat, all the while consuming your favorite adult beverage. So most likely these two had been grilling (drinking) for several hours.

    This sounds like Marvin Gaye Sr. and Jr. all over again even though these two are more distantly related.

    If it was over bacon it was justifiable homicide.

    No freaking way the police indicated that one of them was right in calling them pork steaks. But, if they did, that’s awesome! That sounds like something I would do.

    One little ole familial murder over pork ain’t shit. I’ve seen entire towns in the South go to war over beef vs. pork barbeque – and just for the record, there’s no such thing as tomato based Q – it’s vinegar or nuthin’. That tomato based stuff is just real thick stew that you eat on a bun.

    @Xavier – you and I agree on a lot of things, but not bbq sauce! Give me tomato based any day.

    “….That tomato based stuff is just real thick stew that you eat on a bun…”

    Not if you make it right.

    The key is to concoct your own. Start with name brand sauce. Add vinegar, brown sugar, beer, hot sauce, liquid smoke, throw in a little Kosher pickle juice if you want. Proportion to taste.

    Ask any inner city ER physician when their busiest times are. They’ll tell you on holidays when extended families get together and consume alcohol.

    These two had been consumin’ some alcohol.

    92 percent of murdered blacks are murdered by Blacks and it’s all because of slavery. It’s either 92 percent or 97 percent. I’m not sure.
