A 19-year-old San Angelo teen, Jesus Pablo Salinas, is behind bars today after stabbing a 23-year-old man in the back early Sunday morning.
Officer Tracy Gonzalez, public information officer for the San Angelo Police Department, said officials are investigating the stabbing that occurred at the Bellagio Apartments, 2508 Sweetbriar Drive.
Police were dispatched around 2:15 a.m. to the apartment complex, and upon arrival, they located a group of people standing over the victim who was suffering from a stab wound to the back.

PermalinkJon, what does your rant have to do with a stabbing incident? Perhaps the stories are not jiving?

PermalinkMan up and put your real name. El "sly". Why be "sneaky ". You sure have a strong opinion but weak knees.

PermalinkFor one, because the legal system no longer recognizes "mutual combat," or duels, so there's no definitive way to resolve the conflict once you know who you're dealing with. The law does, however, permit passive aggressiveness and snark. So by all means, have at that.
You could also try using reason, but that's not really in vogue. I'd take the rhetorical road. Stay calm and safe.
