Debate incident leads to injury

CARRBORO -- After watching the presidential debate Thursday night, two UNC students ended up slapping each other while fighting over who Jesus would vote for in the election.
According to a police report, the concept of "turning the other cheek" came up, and James Robert Austin, 19, of 1305 Granville Towers West in Chapel Hill, slapped Robert Brooks Rollins, 22, of 104 Brewer Lane in Carrboro, on the cheek at Rollins' house.
After that, Rollins slapped Austin, and Austin landed on the concrete patio, possibly striking his head, according to the report. Rollins called for an ambulance, which took Austin to UNC Hospitals to be examined.
Neither Rollins nor Austin wanted to pursue the matter further, the report said.

I find this believable, but feel sorry for the parents of these two kids, who are paying their tuition bill.

Too bad the concept of " eye for an eye" didn't come up. ;^)

So I guess he never got a chance to turn the other cheek?

All I know is Jesus drove an SUV.

Caught my eye, during my brief tenure at UNC, I lived in Granville West, sixth floor. Good to hear the spirit of open debate and even listening to (gasp) conservatives continues to improve. For those unfamiliar, where Granville Towers is a bracing walk to central campus, Carrboro is a nice bike ride at best, save on days it sleets.
