I wonder what her Free Republic or DU handle is?
Or maybe the argument was actually over Olive Garden or cornflake breading?
Woman Charged With Murdering Her Best Friend With Slow Cooker During Political Argument
There's a reason we shouldn't be talking about religion and politics in polite company. It stirs passions and strong emotions. For one Michigan woman, those emotions and a slow cooker ended the argument with the murder of her best friend.
The Detroit News reports:
A Detroit woman was ordered Thursday to stand trial in the killing of her friend beaten with a slow cooker after the two argued about politics.
Tewana Sullivan, 50, who is charged with murder, cried at her preliminary hearing as she heard graphic details about the fatal Oct. 22 assault on Cheryl Livy, 66, with a kitchen appliance.

That's seriously twisted. She just went nuts.
Good thing crock pots can't go through the Internet.

Maybe if they had been sharing a doobie instead of a beer?

(11,521 posts)The victim obviously didn't have a handgun on her person or else she could have defended herself. Since it's obvious that any household appliance can be used as a deadly weapon we all just need to go out and purchase more guns with which to protect ourselves.
OK, this is seriously messed up. This is a damned good reason that many people DON'T need to have weapons.
I just can't fathom how someone can be so messed up that they'll lose control over a political discussion. Just walk away.

RIP to the victim.

We can make an almost safe assumption that Sullivan was a strong Democratic supporter based on race. Cheryl Livy, the victim, was white. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/02/woman_ordered_to_stand_trial_for_murder_after_argument_over_presidential_politics.html
How incredibly sad.

(2,638 posts)Seeing pictures of both women and reading the back story just makes it too sad and so senseless. I just can't find humor in the loss of a beautiful life.
