On Saturday I went to a Baptism party at my neighbor's. She invited family, close friends and neighbors to the party. It was very nice and after eating and dancing I decided to go home at 10:30pm.
At about 11:30pm I heard a knock at my door. I got up and looked out the window but did not see anyone so I went back to bed. At about 11:40pm my daughter calls me on the phone and informs me that she can't get home because the police have the street blocked. I then open the front door and there are 3 police cars in front of my house and the street is blocked.
I walk to the front yard and my neighbor tells me that 8 young men walked to the party when everyone was leaving and started a fight. These young men stabbed 2 young men that were at the party. One was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital and the other one was taken to a hospital in a different city. The police stayed till 5:00 am investigating the crime.
It still doesn't make sense why these men would come and stab 2 young men that do not reside in this town. They are from a city that is 60 miles away and know no one in this town. They are family men, not involved in gangs nor in criminal activities. The police are continuing their investigation and they are sure they will be able to catch the suspects as they apparently live in this town.

Wow... I'd say your Guardian Angel was watching over you that evening, that you left an hour before the mindless quarelling started. We've been having a lot of stabbings of young people in England recently, and apparently for very little motive. I don't know why these kids have to carry knives around with them, or why they start an argument out of nothing.
I hope the two men who were stabbed are doing ok, and that the police find the guys who did it. They sound like a gang to me, if there were eight of them. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Thank God you got home safely, it's things like this that make me want to stay home and not go anywhere because too many crimes are going on out there. When they finish their investigation you'll see this probably happened over something very stupid. What a shame, I feel so sorry for those poor guys.

That is terrible, I don't understand why anyone wants to hurt another person so much as to kill them especially if they have never done them any harm. There are some crazy people around and unfortunatley it seems you hear a lot about them but not of the good people around. That is an awful situation and so so sad. Lets hope they get caught soon.
