Althouse: "Schabhuttl wanted a roll. Egan, however, wanted him to eat sliced bread."

८ डिसेंबर, २००९

"Schabhuttl wanted a roll. Egan, however, wanted him to eat sliced bread."

"'He said that when he refused, she attacked him with the steak,' reported Deputy Carmen Gallup, who noted observing slight redness on Schabhuttl's right cheek and the crown of his head. While Egan denied wielding the steak, she admitted slapping Schabhuttl several times 'so that he can learn.'"

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: That'll teach him.

A roll? The nerve of that guy.; ८/१२/०९, १०:१६ PM

Of course, maybe Althouse likes her steaks really rare. I can respect that.; ८/१२/०९, १०:१९ PM

Jason (the commenter) म्हणाले...: If they strap the meat to you, and tie you to a tree near a gator swamp, that is when you are in trouble.; ८/१२/०९, ११:०३ PM
Penny म्हणाले...: I'm somehow imagining the guy still sitting in his chair wondering when she's coming home to do some cookin'.

When you're a hungry man, a roll only goes so far.; ९/१२/०९, १२:५८ AM

Unknown म्हणाले...: It seems to me from the photo that having to look at the defendant every day was worse than being hit with that steak. Think about how much better he must be feeling with her out of the house.; ९/१२/०९, १०:४५ AM
Synova म्हणाले...: Okay, so hitting someone is not okay no matter what.

OTOH, caregivers do sometimes snap... still not excused of course... but do we even know there was a roll in the house?

In any case, she no longer has to care for her terminally ill, disabled, long term boyfriend who is prone to demand rolls when she has made him a perfectly serviceable meal. Since it sounds like he does need care, someone else will be giving it, possibly an employee of the state, and see if he gets a roll then!; ९/१२/०९, २:२२ PM
Synova म्हणाले...: I mean, really... the horrible woman had made him steak.

What a bitsh!; ९/१२/०९, २:२४ PM
former law student म्हणाले...: Synova made an important point. Egan knocked herself out to make her bf a nice dinner, and he still wasn't satisfied.

Let him see how far he gets cooking for himself; ९/१२/०९, ४:२१ PM
Synova म्हणाले...: I don't think it excuses it, but when I read that he was disabled I couldn't help but think of how it can get for *both* sides of that equation.

I once had to have a bandage replaced regularly in a spot I couldn't reach and it quickly made me completely nuts to have to rely on another person. I imagine that same thing but a magnitude worse and I can sympathize with having to take what you're given when you *can't* go get what you want instead.

There are good reasons that either of them may have reached a point where they gave into frustration.

Doesn't excuse getting violent, and there are certainly cases where a dependent adult is outright abused and we don't know anything about this case to say either way. For ordinary, and not all that uncommon, situations of being a caregiver or having to be cared for... I don't think that people often realize how difficult either thing can be.; ९/१२/०९, ९:२८ PM
