What do Hillary, Obama and a plate of pork chops have in common? All three of them have promoted domestic violence
Most domestic disputes are quite silly.
They can also get completely out of hand and end in violent break-ups – and, occasionally, very bloody murder.
Most of them start over silly little things like the following:
In the television advert for Quorn, a moody schoolgirl sitting down to dine with her family threatens her plate-robbing brother with the words: ‘Eat my food, feel my fork’.
Tracey Wenn said the same thing when she found that her partner had wolfed down the pork chop dinner she had prepared for herself. But she then went a stage further, and stabbed Anthony Donkin in the leg with a kitchen knife.
She said she intended only to ‘prick’ 56-year-old Mr Donkin, her partner of five years, as a joke. But she slipped and the blade made a wound almost 3in deep behind his knee.
However, for every hundred ‘domestics’ that involve drugs, alcohol an/or suspicions of sexual infidelity, there are always one or two who have something truly remarkably bizarre as ignition point.
Like this one:
Two family members have gotten into a violent fight over which Democratic candidate was more fit to be president: Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
The clash happened in a Collegeville home between Sean Shurelds, who favors Obama, and his brother-in-law Jose Ortiz, who likes Clinton. Shurelds said Hillary was ‘trashing Barack, while Ortiz said that Barack is ‘not a realist.’ “
Shurelds then tried to choke his brother-in-law. Ortiz responded by plunging a kitchen knife into Shurelds’ stomach.
Shurelds ended up in Hahnemann University Hospital with life-threatening spleen, lung and diaphragm injuries, and Ortiz in county jail on felony assault charges.
