An enraged Waffle House customer shot and killed a waitress early Friday who asked him not to smoke.

Police said Johnny Mount was eating about 1 a.m. at the restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi, when he lit a cigarette, reported WLOX-TV.

A waitress asked the 45-year-old Mount to put out the cigarette or smoke outside, and he began arguing with her.

Police said Mount then pulled out a 9 mm handgun he had concealed under his shirt and shot the 52-year-old waitress in the head.

She was taken to a nearby hospital but died from her wounds.

Mount was arrested as he tried to leave the restaurant and has been charged with first-degree murder.

He remains held on $2 million bond.

Donald Trump may be to blame, but the Republican Party and Fox News = Fake News = Propaganda, the Dirty Energy Koch Brothers and the ilk have preached HATE, INTOLERANCE, DIVISION, and IGNORANCE.

It's just becoming more evident with the White Supremacist Rabble.

This was caused by the Party of HATE that has carefully laid the groundwork! ....if you were paying attention!
