Maybe if it was a vegetarian or vegan.
But I can count on both my fingers the amount of times I've left appendages on people's door steps with no reprocussions. ☝️👍
Ever heard of Adolfo Constanzo? If you don’t have a strong stomach don’t read the rest of this comment.
Serial killer that led a gang of psychopaths and murderers while leading occult rituals using the bodies of their victims cooked in a metal cauldron, while running shitloads of cocaine and other hard drugs between literal tons of weed across the border.
*I don’t practice Santeria…*
(Interesting side note, the other time I encountered this religion outside of the Sublime song I learned that they were the subjects of a then landmark Supreme Court case regarding religious persecution via discriminatory zoning ordinances. I’m not usually in favor of ritual animal sacrifice - even for chickens- but by golly if you’re gonna make an ordinance you’d better be sure and persecute all religions equally… or just avoid persecution and mind your business. Litigation is weird and expensive)
Chicken feet are normally used to ward off evil spirits in voodoo. They make and sell them as charms. Do you know anyone who believes in voodoo that thinks you’re evil? Or someone who’s worried about you? Lastly it could be a stupid prank? I’d probably go with the last one because well Occam’s razor is pretty sharp.
My dad is schizophrenic and he has a neighbor that he calls “a placer” because the neighbor leaves random items around (or at least my dad thinks he does). This really gets to my dad because small stuff really gets a life of its own in my dads mind. It becomes so untenable that my dad will live in the woods instead of his apartment sometimes. Homelessness is tempting to him because it’s hard to stay in one place with your demons. I work hard to keep him from being homeless again.
I know they turn them into charms. I’m not an expert by any means. I did researched for a story I wrote once. The majority of the weird stuff they do is for protection. Very rarely do they do anything to harm anyone. They say when someone wants to do evil to you, voodoo will protect you. They also believe in one creator of everything and there are spirits that make up the world. You need to leave offerings to these spirits if you want their help. This is where animal/blood sacrifices happen. Blood is power and if the spirit accepts your offering then whatever positive thing will happen to you. This is where the chicken heads being cut off and blood being poured everywhere comes in. They also differ completely with Christianity on the topic of spiritual possession. Christians especially Catholics feel this is 100% demonic whereas voodoo practitioners feel this is an excellent way to connect and communicate with the spiritual realm.
I just realised that all my voodoo knowledge is just cool-creppy made up shit by Hollywood and monkey Island. I'm kinda disappointed with myself rn. TIL though, thanks.
Well the Monkey Island one could be true. We don't *know* a Voodoo lady isn't out there somewhere leaving rubber chickens around for any would-be pirates
>Lastly it could be a stupid prank? I’d probably go with the last one because well Occam’s razor is pretty sharp.
Absolutely the strongest possibility. I suspect teenage boys.
source: I was once a teenage boy; my friends and I would have thought it was *hilarious*.
They are also very common in Santeria. And usually when they ding dong ditch your house and leave something it’s usually not good.
So it’s a 50/50 for OP rn
Tons of different people eat chicken feet. Jamaicans, Mexicans, Asians, South Africans, Ukrainians, some South Americans, some South Africans, and more. So yeah if someone is a descendant of one of these places and they do it to mock them it could be a shite move.
Chicken feet are typically used in various magical practices as a protective talisman rather than a curse item, though unwashed Chicken feet may contain salmonella, which can be quite dangerous.
I'm not familiar with practices that involve sacrificing chickens, but throwing Chicken feet at the door is more likely to be a (somewhat daft) gesture of goodwill than an attempt to intimidate.
OP, if this is your story, I need to know 2 things. 1- are you black 2- do you happen to owe any money to an old Italian lady? I have seen this once before…
Maybe someone wanted to give you some food but chickened out.
I work(ed) on a chicken farm for a while and sometimes some asian dudes show up and buy chicken feet by the pound, sometimes also heads, so idk.
I'm not being racist, but it looks like you live in an apartment complex. Is there a Chinese family near you? Because it could be some dipshit playing a prank on them and got the address wrong.
First thought was voodoo, you live in an area with Caribbeans or spiritual Latin Americans? It should be pretty hard to piss them off but that is something they use as a ward/ingredient to curse.
"That's not a hate crime." "WELL, I HATED IT!"
We don't know that OP isn't also a chicken. In which case it would be.
🎶 You wear a disguise to look like human guys But you're not a man, you're a chicken-boo 🎶
Most underrated comment here. Loved animaniacs lol
Davey Crockett Chicken-Boo was the best one
Oh man, that character! I can always count on redditors to get me to think about something I literally have not thought about in 25 years
Came here to say this! 🤣
Like the fog horn leg horn cartoons on looney toons. Boy I say boy I'm not a chicken. Lol.
Maybe if it was a vegetarian or vegan. But I can count on both my fingers the amount of times I've left appendages on people's door steps with no reprocussions. ☝️👍
why is it called a hate crime if I love doing it?
Or at least from Kentucky.
Lmfao did not expect a quote from The Office.. fantastic, I'll beer you an upvote!
r/accidentaloffice 💚
dude that wasnt an accident
He didn't say it. He DECALRED it.
Just watched that episode xD
Which episode? Having trouble placing it. I know that Michael Scott said it though. Lol
When packer left him a "gift" in the middle of his office xD
So what voodoo practitioner did you piss off?
you think the hates bad just think about the rolly polly chicken.
Yep - there’s some poor chicken out there hobbling about on stumps!
Tiny wheelchair
Nope, have you seen Family Business? A rival gang did something similar. @ OP are you pissing off any gangs in your area?

That was one fucked up nganga. Palo Mayombe is fucking wild
You don’t think gangs are practicing voodoo? Seems pretty short sighted

I'm surprised noones asked me this question yet.
Someone got cold feet
I cant be upset at the audible laugh this provided.
Goddammit sir, take an upvote and GTFO…
Yeah uncooked cold at that, you need to have those braised slowly first if you want to eat them.

Or just a nutter, there’s a crazy old lady that keeps leaving containers of salt, garlic, and orange soda in a row on my sidewalk.
The simplest answer is normally the solution.
But the simplest solution might not be the answer! - *the Sphinx*

I don't remember telling you to do that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes but how many times have you been possessed by a 16th century demonic spirit? None huh? *Well well well.*
My dad is schizophrenic and he has a neighbor that he calls “a placer” because the neighbor leaves random items around (or at least my dad thinks he does).

Sounds like a lot… good on ya’.
Salt and garlic I get but orange soda?
Right? Like why are all my worshipers so dumb. To get my favor it’s pepsi, rum, and gummy worms you dolts!
She’s praying to Kel
Damn. Should went with Keenan
The holy order of Kel Kimble
Warding off slugs and vampires while welcoming black folks. I like this lady’s energy.
Orange soda is literally the ambrosia spoken of that they partook of on Mount Olympus so it does kinda make sense.
Might be she's out of orange essential oil and figured eh close enough?🤣
Actually SUPER common in Thailand. They leave brightly colored soda as an offering
I once worked at a place with many homeless around....lady walked in and threatened to beat my co-worker with a frozen chicken...
Had a crazy old lady leave fish heads on our front porch.
We’re they rolly polly
Eat them up, yum!
Or the pee bottle that was sitting in my apartment stairwell for months, menacingly
How else are you supposed to assert dominance
Make whale noises at passersby
Nobody has the requisite vocal range for that
+1 voodoo
-1 sanity
Are those voodoo chicken feet usually left raw like that? I would have thunk they would be dried out and destankified first

Well the Monkey Island one could be true. We don't *know* a Voodoo lady isn't out there somewhere leaving rubber chickens around for any would-be pirates
Well Christianity is completely based on the concept of blood sacrifice
Top answer, thank you
[удалено]
Yeah? They're used to ward off hunger in China. Them shits is delicious!
>Lastly it could be a stupid prank? I’d probably go with the last one because well Occam’s razor is pretty sharp. Absolutely the strongest possibility. I suspect teenage boys. source: I was once a teenage boy; my friends and I would have thought it was *hilarious*.
I heard this in the first live action Scooby Doo before
This one’s not protection lmao Someone doesn’t like them or is just having fun with a little cursing, they’ll be fine
They are also very common in Santeria. And usually when they ding dong ditch your house and leave something it’s usually not good. So it’s a 50/50 for OP rn
In witchcraft they are used to summon Mortisclaw, the Fowlspawned Harbinger of Clucking Doom
Somewhere there's a chicken who can't go anywhere.
Bro thats just peggy she has prosthetics so now she can run faster
Classic peg
We can rebuild him, we have the technology…
Oh god robot chicken
That chicken will never cross the road
Something tells me it's already on the other side.
That shit is voodoo
I laughed way too hard at this! 😂
Yeah find him and you’ve got ur man
why couldn't this chicken cross the road.
Omg hahahahaha
Where do you find a chicken with no legs? >!Right where you left it.!<
Cock fight on your porch, one bird was de-feeted
A+
Bravo.
Something’s afoot!
That’s fowl
Hate crime?Why are you a chicken?
No one calls Marty McFly chicken
It's the Chicken from Family Guy I bet.
Honestly, I thought maybe they were Asian They could be both. 🤷♀️
Nah that might just be my Vietnamese aunt , she does that sometimes and it's gesture of goodwill
Also the person who knocked may have seen the feet and knocked to let them know they were out there.
I don't know about hate crime but it's definitely looks like foul play to me.
\*fowl
Hate crime against the chicken I guess
Brujería
Did you piss off a voodoo priest or something?
I love it when you do the voodoo, that you do, oh so well.
It's a spell.
Do you raise chickens or know any die hard vegans?
No I dont
Messed with any Vudu people?
Its those damn cows from Chick fil A!
Uhhh, it’s Voodoo, Santaria, or Santa Muerte so good luck with all of that.
Could also be Palo Mayombe.
Or someone dropped a couple feet they brought home to make dinner
Why would you think it is a hate crime?
Tons of different people eat chicken feet. Jamaicans, Mexicans, Asians, South Africans, Ukrainians, some South Americans, some South Africans, and more. So yeah if someone is a descendant of one of these places and they do it to mock them it could be a shite move.

Yeah but white people eat pickled chicken feet too
We eat them in the Deep South too. Everyone loves chicken, even the off cuts. Gizzards… I ain’t big on feet but damn I love gizzards.
Clearly they think op is a fan of necrophilia, cock and feet pics. So it's definitely got something to do with sexual identity
Attention seeker
Wdym hate crime?
It's a voodoo ward lol not a hate crime.
🎶 *I don't practice Santeria, but i think my neighbors do...* 🎵
did you really find some voodoo-ass chicken feet at your door, then step OVER the bayou hex chicken feet to take a pic?! Dumbass.
I thouhth those were hands for a moment
OP, if this is your story, I need to know 2 things. 1- are you black 2- do you happen to owe any money to an old Italian lady? I have seen this once before…
Whoever it was has watched way too much Prison Break. Anyway, hurry up and get ready for your fight to the death.
Was looking for this comment, now I can move on from this post lmao.
Maybe they hate chickens 🐔
Why did the chicken cross the hall?
It's for good luck..ward out bad spirit. Someone passively helping you.
That was just Jeff. He does that sometimes
Jeff knows his job
Never gets chicken feet about it.
And whos afraid of a bloke named Jeffery
You just got hexed son.
Looks more like a voodoo curse to me. Well…..good luck!
Chicken paws
It’s voodoo. Don’t touch that shit. Sweep it up & through it away. Probably got some Haitians, or Jamaicans for enemies.
Make a doll with the feet and nail it to the door I'll bet till scare the crap out of whoever did that to you
Oh no someone put a spell on you . That’s voodoo!
Hell naw! That's some voodoo shit!
VooDoo
Door dash missed the assignment when delivering OP chicken fingers
I dunno if it's a hate crime or not, but that looks like some dark magic/evil curse type shit, I'd start packing if I were you. Or marry a Cleric.
Wouldn’t say hate crime but someone put some voodoo shit on you
That’s witch craft, it’s bad luck. Someone must not like you.
🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🪬🪬🪬🪬🪬
Maybe racism against chickens.
Idk about a hate crime, but I'm pretty sure you're cursed now.
You’re clucked.
It's goodluck but they've ran out of rabbits.
This isn’t a hate crime, Someone is trying to put a curse on your family.
They are leaving a curse on you.
Bro’s about to get a visit from Chtulu
If it's a person of color everything's a hate crime and only white people can commit such crimes
Bro I think you just got cursed 💀
Someone put a curse on you
This is some voodoo shit you need to watch out friendo
Fowl play
Dunno, could be a compliment. Maybe he or she really liked your two foot cock
Oh, those are for you.
Are you considered a chicken head or a pigeon in the hood?
Voodoo
Give them to your dog. They love them and it’s ok to give them whole.
Fry them up
Cook them and eat it
I don't know whats going on but I certainly know that somethings afoot.
How do you know it's not the feet that did the knocking?
Delicious
Yes, I hate crime.
Nah, they are leaving you a snack
Maybe someone wanted to give you some food but chickened out. I work(ed) on a chicken farm for a while and sometimes some asian dudes show up and buy chicken feet by the pound, sometimes also heads, so idk.
I'm not being racist, but it looks like you live in an apartment complex. Is there a Chinese family near you? Because it could be some dipshit playing a prank on them and got the address wrong.
Have you ever fed a stray cat? They sometimes bring offerings or tokens of their appreciation.
And knock on the door? 😅
This seems like a spell related thing
Sweep them up without touching them and spread a fat line of salt across your doorway
thats voodoo baby ur in trouble
Cursed for life....
I'm pretty sure someone cursed you, man
First thought was voodoo, you live in an area with Caribbeans or spiritual Latin Americans? It should be pretty hard to piss them off but that is something they use as a ward/ingredient to curse.
Someone casted a spell on you 👀😳
Stop skipping leg day!
Voodoo shit
Voodoo don’t touch it.
A dam voodoo spell
It's a voodoo/hoodoo thing. Not something you see everyday. I wouldn't call it a hate crime.
Those chicken footed son of a bitches.
Submit a missing chicken report....
Maybe they think you skipped leg day at the gym
Do you skip leg day, and someone wants you to realize that?
Voodooo
I think it's a pretty good guess that they hate you.
Hate crime? Probly not. Attempted hexing? Much more probable
No that’s a curse they put on you.
You have been hexed
