Good News? Of course not.

Indianapolis Woman impaled while breaking up white trash sword fight between brother-in-law and grandson. FWAAA? I guess I haven't been watching the local news, so I have to assume this was all over it. I actually had to look it up after seeing it on national news. The winner of the duel (as far as I understand the way these things work) was Chris Rondeau, whose Uncle died a few days later from stab wounds. However, since we no longer live in the good ol' days when an honorable man can stab a family member to death in an epic battle of the steel... well, he's getting charged with murder and such.

 

I know this is a tragic thing and all, but let me just point out the incredible irony of a man named Adolph killed by a WWII sword... in Indiana... in 2009. I'm gonna buy some lottery tickets tonight!

 

Here's the WTHR article, but I think I pretty much summed it up for ya. Plus, I'm no English major, but the author actually says, "Franziska Stegbauer, 77, ended up dead trying to break up a fight..." And while that's not exactly incorrect grammar... it's bad enough to make me wanna stab someone.
