*sigh* Virginia man - Ford vs. Chevy argument - stabbings and gunshots

Ford vs. Chevy dispute leaves 3 people shot at Virginia home, prosecutors say

BEDFORD, Va. – A dispute that started with the age-old argument about the superiority of Ford versus Chevy trucks ended in gunfire, leaving multiple people shot at a Virginia home, prosecutors say.

He has been charged with felony malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felon and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Turner had apparently gathered with his girlfriend, her son and her son’s girlfriend for a family dinner. Bedford County Commonwealth Attorney Wes Nance told WSET that alcohol was involved and that there was “a dispute” between Turner and his girlfriend’s son, Logan Bailey, about which truck was better, Ford or Chevy.

The argument turned violent when Turner pulled out a knife, Nance said. Bailey’s mother tried to intervene and was stabbed once in the back.

Turner then went into the house and returned with a handgun, authorities say.

The reporter doesn’t even bother to mention which truck ended up being better. Geez.

Yesterday, I drove to the supermarket, and found myself behind a Chevy pickup that had a decal in the back window, that read:

Eats Fords
{chevy logo}
Shits Dodges

Of course, the guy's Chevy pickup was rusted out on the tailgate. Nice!

That decal says a great deal about the guy who drives that truck. What does it say? "Look at this. I'm a moron!"

I would not hire that person. Seems that would be too toxic of a person to have around the office.

I used to see this sort of story here in Virginia, but it was about whose dog was better.

Was there any news about who won? Is Ford better than Chevy?

Sorry guys, but in this "Hatfield/McCoy" feud, I'm siding with Chevy.


Or maybe I should wait to see who has the bigger gun?

F = found
O = on
R = road
D = dead

Those are the two I know off hand. I'm sure there are plenty more.

And at times I’ve had an unfair amount. It never made me want to shoot anybody. In fact, if I had been drinking, I would probably think, “This isn’t the best time for marksmanship.”

into a shooter. However, it is very well known to make violent people more likely to commit acts of violence, when they are under its influence. I'd lay pretty good money that Mr. Turner has a history of violent behavior.
