AKRON, Ohio (AP) Seven people were stabbed in a fight at a birthday party for a 2-year-old girl, and police said Sunday they charged two men with assault. Police called to the party said they found men and women with severe knife wounds, some of them possibly life threatening. One paramedic said the scene looked like a ''blender,'' with blood splattered everywhere.

I suppose that this is what happens when party gifts exceed the recommended age for the child? Either that, or it's pin the tail on the donkey gone horribly wrong...

Musta been fighting over who got to cut the cake.......

[JennysCool]

Wow! Talk about great -- if black-humored -- minds!

Undoubtedly Illegals fighting over a misunderstanding when someone said something in English.

What a fine example for the toddlers, eh?

Did someone get angry because the pinata was busted open too soon?

Was it a "Kill Bill"-themed party?

"The people at the party were Vietnamese..."

Maybe it's a birthday tradition.

You think the Vietnamese people involved were here illegally? They generally try to learn English and become citizens. At least that has been my experience, though it is limited.

How insensitive of the local authorities to arrest these fine people, who were merely conducting birthday celebrations according to their cultural mores. We in the USA really need to be more accepting of others' values and customs. Who are we to foist our morality on these poor immigrants?

[Mears]

Maybe this kind of party is an old Vietnamese custom.

Ya think?

A sort of preparation for a child entering the "terrible twos"

Extreme Pin the Tail on the Donkey......LMAO! Perfect!

PS: Next thing you know, we'll probably ban stoning and beheading for goodness sake!

Either that or a few malcontents still recounting the election.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Tam T. Nguyen, 25, and Vi Tran, 35, were charged.

Shouldn't that be Vi Wayne Tran?

Great demented minds think alike...
