Silly me, I thought the Ford vs. Chevy arguments were limited to the deep south. But, here we are in Virginia.
Please meet Mark Edwin Turner, 56 years old, who has strong feelings in the great car debate. On Easter Sunday, right before dinner, Turner got into a fight with his girlfriend’s son over the value of a Ford as compared to a Chevy. The results was that Turner missed Easter dinner because he was locked up in the pokey for felony malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
As the front yard argument progressed, Turner went into house and got a knife. At that point, Turner’s girlfriend tried to get between Turner and her son Logan Bailey. For her efforts, she got stabbed in the lower back. Turner went back in the house and got a gun this time. His girlfriend once again tried to intervene and for her efforts, Turner shot her five time. Semi-fortunately all the shots went to her legs.
In a holiday-filled gunfire celebration, the girlfriend’s son was shot in the arm and his girlfriend was hit by two bullets that police said ricocheted.
The three victims went to the hospital, where all of them are expected to recover nicely.
The police reported that alcohol was involved.
I am sad to report that we did not hear which car each side supported, but all in all, there were no winners in Virginia that day.
Thanks to James for the heads up.
