Transient stabbed in fight over PBJ sandwich

SAN DIEGO — One downtown transient stabbed another in the head in a fight over a peanut butter and jelly sandwich Friday, San Diego police said.

The two men fought over the sandwich on Union Street near A Street about 6:30 p.m., police Officer David Stafford said.

One of the men pulled out a pen and stabbed the other man in the head. Paramedics took the victim to a hospital, where he is expected to recover. The other man went to jail, Stafford said.

I had a buddy who did time at an FCI. He saw a knife fight over Fruity Pebbles.

WTH is a “transient?”. Is that media-speak for ILLEGAL ALIEN?

We have had homicides in St. Louis over the last Rally burger, or who ate the last of the dark meat at Thanksgiving.

A transient is what used to be known as a homeless person (and before that, as a bum). Back when I went to college in San Diego and had to go downtown, the city transients were usually white, occasionally black, usually drunk or high, and wandering around screaming incoherently at random people, dogs, buses, etc. Every once in a while one would attack another. I though the Gaslamp District and other downtown development was supposed to bring this kind of thing to an end, but I guess not.

The other man went to jail where he no longer will have to fight over a PBJ sandwich, he will get three hots and a cot.

One will get hot meals and a nice bed under the A/C at the hospital while the other will get hot meals and a nice bed under the A/C at the jail. Taxpayers should be expecting their thank you cards in a few days.

So, who ate the pbj?

Only way to prevent more stabbings is to ban all PBJ sandwiches

If we had a republican president in office, the story would have been about how two starving unemployed homeless men , forced by the incompetent and heartless republican politicians to live in the shadows of the city, fought for survival over what might have been their last meal.

Did the victim have a bag of Skittles in his pocket?

Have the hobos threatened to riot?

Will peanut butter and pens be taken off the market?

What color of skin should we be mad at?

Will the suspect be out of jail in time to vote?

Bush should be sent to prison over this!!

Kinda like your average, typical, Media Matters troll?

One of the men pulled out a pen and stabbed the other man in the head.

It was probably an accident.

The guy with the pen was probably just intending to write a note saying "be sure and get yourself another PBJ sandwich" on the other guy's forehead.

But the other guy looked down at the last minute.
