A 54-year-old woman was charged with stabbing her 45-year-old girlfriend to death in the Austin neighborhood early Friday morning after a verbal argument over another woman, prosecutors said.

Shounya Burnett, 45, was pronounced dead about 1:20 a.m. She had been stabbed in the forehead, four times in the face and twice in the neck while inside an apartment building in which they both lived on the 1100 block of North Mayfield Avenue, said Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Bridget O’Brien.

Girls gone wild. Meow.

[umgud]

She's about an ugly son of a bitch. Even Laz wouldn't hit it.

[Venturer]

Maybe with a baseball bat.

Feral lesbos from Chitcago gone violent. Were they community organized?

[ConservativeStatement]

I doubt this makes any "domestic violence against women" campaign by such groups as the Ad Council.

No pictures of the decedent, best I can tell.

"$900K bail set for woman charged in Austin stabbing death"

Wow! Someone stabbed the city of Austin to death?!?!? Or was it someone named Austin she killed?

Oh, I get it...yet another example of lazy-a** writing from a lazy, illiterate reporter or editor.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

The good Lesbo A.A. Lib stabbed girlfriend to death. It would never use an evil gun. Guns cause to much violence.

[Chode]

it looks like a real ladies man...

[ConservativeChris]

I used to date a girl with a lazy eye in college.

She was seeing other people.

This is a Chicago paper. Austin is a well-known neighborhood in Chicago.

[esoxmagnum]

THAT made me laugh!

HOMOS-LESBOS; who cares, let them kill each other in mass quantities.

[wku man]

Okay, so she stabbed the Austin neighborhood to death?

The point is, this is yet another example of how today's so-called "reporters" and so-called "editors" know nothing of proper grammar, only what's in the AP "Style" book.

"Austin" is a noun. "Death" is a noun. Nouns don't modify nouns, adjectives do. I learned this in about the 4th or 5th grade, but evidently, today's reporters and editors never did. Our publick edjumuhkashun system at work.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

if she had used a gun, she’d be in real trouble

Well, I sucked at English, so I won’t dispute it (I’m an engineer), but it’s common Chicago language to say “Lakefront neighborhood” or “Austin neighborhood”, etc. Been that way for since I can remember (and I’m retired).

But then again, we call a sandwich a sammich.

You are probably correct. We in Chicago are known for our own style of language.

We say “pop” others say “soda”.

We’re a big city, but not as refined as New York or LA.

[VerySadAmerican]

In the south we say “coke”.

[esoxmagnum]

I thought the south was all RC Cola and Moonpies...
