I live for stories like this.

In Minneapolis, a state known to be only slightly less polite than Canada, a guy waiting for a bus assaulted another guy with a folder from an anger management class.

Sweet.

The police say Angry Guy was at a bus stop when he started yelling at a 59-year-old woman. When she took out her cell phone, Angry Guy knocked her down. When a second guy tried to help, Angry Guy hit him with the folder.

Angry Guy has been charged with felony assault. This, not surprisingly, is his third assault charge in 18 months, and he's been convicted twice of domestic assault.

"Our hope is that the court will see fit to allow him to finish his anger management class in jail," a cop spokesman said between giggles. "Clearly he has issues."

Happy Friday, people. Let's hope for an uneventful weekend.

Seemed like a very weird week. I'm not sure if it was me or not but it was a little to close to being in Baghdad, or someplace, where conflict of one sort or another could jump out anytime you went around another corner.
That was just on UNC-CH campus.
The 15 min. I spent at Food Lion was even stranger.
As our old mentor Hunter S. said.
