Missouri teen charged in ice pick attack:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A Missouri teenager is accused of stabbing a man with an ice pick in a dispute over a parking spot.

Eighteen-year-old Caitlen Watkins of Springfield was charged Monday in Greene County with first-degree assault and armed criminal action.

According to court documents, Watkins and a passenger in her car confronted another driver Sunday in the parking lot of a shopping center after he took a parking place Watkins wanted.

Witnesses told police a fight broke out and the other driver was stabbed half a dozen times with a wooden-handled, 5-inch ice pick. Police say the other driver suffered a punctured kidney.

Who still uses ice picks for legitimate reasons? I mean we have bags of ice that we can buy at the store now. Seriously though I still can't believe that as a society we're still at a point where people get shived over a parking spot.

6 points for the amount of times the victim was stabbed, 5 points for the inches of the ice pick, one more point for the victim being stabbed in the kidney, one more point for this being over something as trifle as a parking spot, what you can't walk the extra feet, and one last point for actually being in possession of an ice pick. I'm pretty sure she wasn't using it for ice sculptures. That's 14.
