Small Town News

[Oklahoma_Cat]

The thread about Weird Kansas towns kinda helped with making this, but then I saw an amazing story in my local newspaper about something that happened in a small town near here. 

WAYNOKA — An 18-year-old Waynoka teen is hospitalized in Wichita, Kan., after a man threw acid on him in Woods County.

Woods County Deputy Steve Ward said Nathan Lyon suffered burns to his head, torso and arms after 32-year-old Jason Nelson threw the acid on him Sunday night.

Lyon’s condition was not available.

Ward said Lyon had challenged Nelson to a fight over a text message Nelson sent to a girl and the two agreed to meet in a rural area north of Waynoka.

Ward said as the two men got out of their cars Nelson threw the acid from a vase-like container.

Nelson is being held in the Woods County jail on $150,000 bond.

 

So many incredible parts of that story.  Text messaging.  Meeting to fight in the country.  Vase full of acid.

Almost as good as the lady who was stuck to a toilet seat for a year.

Not near as interesting as Mabel Woodside bringing her cinnamon rolls to the church bake sale.

My gawd, classic.  Does it say how old the girl they were fighting over was?  Where does one get a vase of acid from? More, give me more.

So he's 32, all tatted up, thinks he is a real tough guy.

He agrees to fight an 18 year old, but instead of throwing a punch, he throws a vaaaaaas of acid at him.

What the frack!?!?!?

Yeah, he died.  Makes it a little funnier, imo.

Naaa, throwing acid in someone's face is a very multicultural thing to do.  These guys just screwed up because in the part of the world they were emulating it's always the chick that gets the acid treatment.
