That headline is a hell of a scenario, isn’t it? It’s also amazing that this didn’t somehow come from Florida, one of our worst states. Rather, it’s from South Carolina, which isn’t exactly in the top of the class, but still.
This happened Tuesday evening, according to police reports, and WSPA-7 provides us with the details:
When deputies got there the front door was opened and a man was yelling.
The man in the home told deputies that another man came to the house and they started arguing over a pizza.
He said the other man came at him in an aggressive manner with a knife/sword, so he hit him in the back of the head with a stick to defend himself, according to the report.
He said the man then slashed his leg.
That the victim apparently had a stick at the ready for self-defense is low-key the best part of that entire story; a close second is the lack of commitment to just what kind of blade the attacker was using. Was “dagger” not an option? Isn’t that the in-between of a knife and a sword? But, yeah, the victim also just used his big stick, somehow from behind the original attacker? Maybe it’s curved, and he swung it around at an angle, somehow?
So many questions! And, unfortunately, we’re not likely to get any more answers:
The man with the knife/sword left the scene before deputies got there and no charges were filed.
