I'd bet that this was not about the sauce. There is either some mental illness or something else at play.
Yeah, smells like the famous last straw, the drop that overflows the bucket. Maybe they were generally cross, or the action was emblematic of the real issues. We don't know for sure, but there is likely more than just people stabbing over sauce.
Reminds me of those two Russian guys in the antarctic research station. One wound up stabbing the other because he kept spoiling the ending for every book he tried to read. I gotta wonder what the book count was. Like, 5 or less that seems unreasonable, but once you hit like 15-20 books ruined, that seems like valid response.
I'm not sure.. he kinda had it coming after doing it twice.
I honestly think that it can be explained by them being 16. At that age you're a hormonal nightmare person whose brain is particularly underdeveloped when it comes to executive function. It wasnt just about the sauce but I get the feeling that if you were to ask it would end up being some vague, ill-defined thing like "she been disrespecting me" or other shit that kids get all fired up about that doesn't actually matter at all.
I was a basketcase at that age, but yet somehow, miraculously, did not murder (or even HARM) anyone.
When I was a teenager fistfights were a fairly common occurrence, even among kids who would consider themselves good friends and often for reasons that couldn't be articulated later. A fistfight isn't the same as a stabbing, but a fistfight is closer to a stabbing than it is to nonviolence. Our brains just aren't finished yet. I'm not saying that at 16 someone shouldn't be able to understand that stabbing someone for almost any reason is wrong, nor am I saying this person shouldn't be held to account in some way. I'm just saying that if you're asking "why?" sometimes the answer is gonna be "We're fucked up, some of us more than others."
I'm not really asking anything- just shaking my head and watching freak show that is American (I'm on of them) society's collapse, shaking my head.
When you're born into the world you're given a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America you're given a front row seat. -George Carlin
Definitely, these skirmishes normally result in a shooting.
