It’s unclear what Liddell did with $1.5 million worth of wings.

Come On journalists, we are dying over here
- Yeah, I was hoping the story would explain that she was supplying a friend’s restaurant or something.
- I'm pretty sure I could eat them before they spoil
  
  That is a FUCK TON of chicken wings.
  
  Alexa tells me the wholesale price of chicken wings is $3.22 a pound and each pound is around 5 wings.
  
  So $1.5m / $3.22 = 465,838.5 pounds of wings.
  2,329,193 wings.
  
  What did they charge her with? "Possession with intent to distribute"? LOL.
  
  If you ate that much I think it just might kill you.
Why is a news station in Texas concerned with an Illinois school district?
- The news networks might have the same ownership & are sharing content to keep readers/viewers happy, without having to pay for local reporting.
  
  One of our local news outlets does this because new ownership cut their budget. They use nationwide stories from other partner networks to cover the broadcast time or publication quota.
  
  It kinda sucks living in an area where you can’t get local news.
  
  In this case, WGN-TV is owned by Nexstar and KCBD is owned by Gray. Probably the case that KCBD has little budget for reporters, so they repackage other stations news (and add their copyright at the bottom) to drive traffic to their site.
- The color of the woman...
- Engagement
- It's content syndication. You can see right at the start of the article that it's attributed to Gray News.
  
  Readers in Texas might be interested in the story just like we are here...
- Got tell local idiots about brain dead libs in other states... Politics and culture wars
“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be in a mafia movie. Cool”

Abed Nadir
- Your comment is too far down this list
"Hey... psst... c'mere... you wanna buy some wings?"
How do you even move that much wings lmao. Is there some wing mafia?
- Spread over a decade it's not a crazy amount for a local franchise to take.
  
  She did it over 19 months though
With prices today, like 6 dozen?
Was he a Colonel
