A man was charged with stabbing two relatives after they allegedly criticized his table manners during Thanksgiving dinner.
Police said the fight broke out Thursday when Gonzalo Ocasio, 49, and his 18-year-old son, Gonzalo Jr., reprimanded Frank Palacious for picking at the turkey with his fingers, instead of slicing off pieces with a knife.
Palacious, 24, described by police only as an uncle, allegedly responded by stabbing them with a carving knife.
He is charged with domestic assault and assault with intent to murder, Detective Sgt. Thomas R. Radula said.
Police said Ocasio Jr. suffered stab wounds to the chest, back and right side. A nursing supervisor at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center said Friday she had no information on his condition. His father was treated for a stab wound in his arm.
I bet the dirty heathen chews with his mouth open too.
Whew. Somebody needs to switch to decaf...
Well. . .I hope he had the good manners to wipe the blood off his fingers before he went back to picking the turkey.
How come every family has a crazy uncle? ;)
Touchy guy! Liberal land Mass. is full of this.
Hmm, you'd think they'd save the stabbing for more important issues, like politics and religion.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Another Kodak Moment!
Hey, give him a break! He was still upset with the election results. :0)
I hope he stabbed them with a CLEAN knife, or he's just asking for more criticism.
Just like family holidays when I was a kid - as much as you wanted Norman Rockwell, you always ended up with Salvador Dali...
By the way, Frank, we'd appreciate it if you wouldn't drink straight from the gravy boat. Thanks.
I eat my turkey
and I take a nap
He must have been a family libertarian. Get family regulation off our backs!
"How come every family has a crazy uncle? ;)"
We have MORE than one! We handle them very very gently!
Let's eat the turkey
in my big brown shoe
turkey turkey doo
and turkey turkey dabya,
rag on my manners
and I just might stabya!
I fell off my moped
And I got a bruise
