Clinton-Obama In-Laws' Political Dispute Ends In Stabbing

UPPER PROVIDENCE, Pa. (CBS 3) ― The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office is investigating a politically motivated stabbing that left one in-law hospitalized and another in prison.

Authorities said brother-in-laws Jose Ortiz and Sean Shurelds were involved in a verbal altercation over Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton when the argument escalated into a stabbing inside their family home on Honey Locust Court in Upper Providence.

Authorities said Ortiz, a registered Republican and Clinton supporter, allegedly stabbed Shurelds, an Obama supporter, in the stomach.

Shurelds was flown to an area hospital and was listed in critical condition.

Ortiz was jailed on $20,000 bail. According to Pennsylvania Voting Rights, if convicted of a felony crime, he will not be able to vote in the upcoming election.

Which is probably why I'm laughing so hard. :rofl: :rofl:

'In critical condition'. Stomach wounds can be very serious, so I'd just like to express hope that Mr Shurelds recovers.

I can see you had no bad intention with your gentle joke, but I do think it's pretty tragic when someone is violently attacked for their political opinion.

a couple of DU members...however this is sort of ironic, the HRC supporter who stabbed his brother inlaw - According to Pennsylvania Voting Rights, if convicted of a felony crime, he will not be able to vote in the upcoming election.

Bring on the dancing ...

n/t

hell to pay? Both sides hate each other imho. Forget McCain, we will be to divided to win the GE. The Hatfield's and The McCoys, thats us. There will be no reconciling by either side. That is my prediction, as sad as it is. It is to late to forget all the nastiness.

:evilgrin:

Except the O supporter would be the stabber. :) (just kidding)
