Fight over computer leaves NC teen stabbed in buttocks


RAEFORD, N.C. – Authorities said a North Carolina teenager was stabbed in the buttocks after an apparent fight over a computer, according to WTVD-TV.

Hoke County Sheriff Hubert Peterkin said Friday that a 14-year-old stabbed and injured a 17-year-old boy in the incident.

Authorities said the victim was treated at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for a non-life-threatening injury.

Officials said the 14-year-old is now charged as a juvenile and was taken to a detention center. No further details about the incident were released.

I want to know how he got the knife. Kids have no reason to have one and if they do have one it should be under parental supervision only.

..."Kids have no reason to have one and if they do have one it should be under parental supervision only."

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Because we all know that knives and guns are equivalent. Why, if that 14-year-old had got his hands on a gun, this would have been a much less serious incident, right? Oh, wait...

He never carries one on him though. He's got some scary looking stuff too.

On occasion he's done some stupid stuff with them (like the time he axed a spray paint can) but he's never used one to threaten a human or animal.
