Dispute over turkey blamed for stabbings<br />By Associated Press<br />Friday, November 26, 2004<br /><br />WORCESTER, Mass. - A man was charged with stabbing two relatives who allegedly criticized his table manners during Thanksgiving dinner. <br /> <br /> Police said the fight broke out when Gonzalo Ocasio, Jr., 18, and his father, Gonzalo Ocasio, 49, reprimanded an uncle for picking at the turkey with his fingers, instead of slicing off pieces with a knife, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported Friday. <br /> <br /> The uncle, Frank Palacious, 24, of Worcester, allegedly responded by stabbing them with a carving knife. <br /> <br /> The father and son were being treated for stab wounds at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. <br /> <br /> A nursing supervisor said Friday she had no information on the younger Ocasio's condition. Police said he suffered stab wounds to the chest, back and right side. His father was treated for a stab wound in his arm. <br /> <br /> Palacious is charged with two counts of domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault with intent to murder, Detective Sgt. Thomas R. Radula said.
Why didn't they just give him a book from MISS MANNERS???<br /><br />Hope this wasn't at Ralph's place... :eek: <br /><br />By the way, where is the rascal... have not seen a post from him since after the election.

Re: Guess the turkey was too tough

lol. Yeah--me too, Fly Rod. I tried telling them that those electric carving knives slip sometimes. :D <br />There is a version of this story that makes the rounds every year. Last year, it was a couple of mutants who whipped-out thier gatts and went to shooting right there at the table! Nobody died, no life-threatening injuries. The world is full of strange folks.<br />And speakin of Thanksgiving assaults----I'm a bit lonely today. Seems something horrible happens inside me the day after Thanksgiving, making those around me not to WANT to be around me, or even in the same room....Even the dog bolts-off my lap from time-to-time. It must have something to do with all those "develed-eggs" and turkage I ate. :confused:

Sounds like a "last straw" sort of thing to me.<br /><br />I wonder what "baggage" they all took to the table.

ok now we have to registar all carving knives. man where does it end. I just wonder if alchohol was involved :) :) .<br />just think, if the knife had been registared they would not have used it for illegal purposes.<br /> :) :) <br /> and if that wont work we could always outlaw real turkey and have spam dinner :)
