Saturday night at the annual Serbian Festival held in Lackawannas St Stephen Serbian Orthodox Church, a stabbing occurred an hour past midnight.
What began in the bar was ended a few blocks from the church when a Croatian stabbed a Serb.
What began as a night of festivities ended in tragedy with one individual being hospitalized and the Croatian being taken to jail for a violent stabbing.
I just stay out of these affairs as only I know how to. If I recieve more information, I will pass it along.
People, extend your prayers to this Serbian man who was blindsidedly attacked by a vicious knife-wielding Croatian immigrant.

Thank You.

Was this in the US?
Not familiar with the town mentioned.
If he's referring to Lackawanna NY, it's just outside Buffalo. That's also where the "Lackawanna 6" Muslim terrorists were arrested and charged, last year.

Those 6 are terrorists and should be convicted by the court of law for their active participation in the active destruction of American lives.
Yes, it's in the US (see below)

Genocidal Croat ping!
....St Stephen Serbian Orthodox Church....
This is your church, ma bell, isn't it? My prayers are with the man who was injured, and with your congregation.
I was happily enjoying the Liturgy and a Serbian picnic (with cevapcici, etc.) with my Serbian congregation yesterday--all very peaceful as always. I am sorry that violent individuals have to spoil such events anywhere, especially in the United States.
I did not realize there were so many Serbs on FR, anyways so am I on my dad's side part of the Vujovich's and Palloza's
Yep...the Croatian church is one block away.
Knowing what people from the former Yugoslavia are like, I doubt this was a political thing. Methinks these guys knew each other and this was pretty mundane involving a woman, money or just good old-fashioned bad blood.
My church, I know all that goes on.
Was it personal bad blood, or political?
. . . fueled, perhaps, by a certain liquid refreshment. I'm sure it seemed like a bright idea at the time. It always does.
In the end, it comes down to croat v. serb. Yep, jet fuel helps too.
Are they both - the Serb and the Croat - newcomers? What part of the former Yugoslavia did the Serb and Croat come from - Bosnia?
