Yet another reason to shun Alabama
A woman enraged at her boyfriend attacked him with a utility knife and cut off nearly all of his buttocks, leaving him near death on a dark, rural road. The injuries were so severe investigators initially believed the victim was sexually tortured and dragged behind a car in a possible hate crime. Police believe the man's girlfriend acted alone. She was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Kimberly King, 26, of Aliceville was jailed without bail. "This ain't right," she told a TV news crew as she was arrested. King and her boyfriend had been at a bar in Mississippi late Saturday or early Sunday, and left separately after an argument. Police said she pulled up behind his vehicle on an isolated highway near Aliceville, and began stabbing him with a large knife. When he fell, "she got down on him and just started cutting," police said. "Ah, love. Sometimes it's grand, sometimes it's a total pain in the ass," he should've added, as everyone rolled their eyes and groaned. "Sorry. Love hurts? Is that better? Love means not being able to sit down for a month? Help me here. It's Friday."
