"Man bites, stabs another over stirring of chili"

 

Quote

A pot of chili was at the center of an argument that boiled over into a biting and stabbing attack early Friday, injuring two on the city’s west side, police said.

 

A 26-year-old man allegedly attacked his 35-year-old wife and a 30-year-old male family acquaintance around 5:10 a.m. on the 19200 block of St. Mary’s Street, Officer Jennifer Moreno said.

 

“There was a pot of chili on the stove, and the male victim stirred it,” Moreno said. “The suspect didn’t want (the victim) stirring his chili.”

------------

The male victim suffered non life-threatening bite and stab wounds to his thigh and was transported to Sinai Grace Hospital in temporary-serious condition.

 

The perp bit the other guy's thigh?

 

We take our chili very seriously in the Midwest.

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."
