In response to being urinated on, enraged mother repeatedly stabs son

News somewhat old, but apparently not posted yet:

"Son Attacked After Urinating On Mom" (http://www.wspa.com/midatlantic/spa/news.apx.-content-articles-SPA-2007-12-26-0008.html)

A Spartanburg mother is accused of stabbing her son several times Christmas morning, but her son is the person facing charges.

City police say it appears the mother, 45-year-old Tammy Jones, stabbed her son because he urinated on her while she slept in her bed.

21-year-old Michael Anthony Carson, nicknamed Pooh Bear, is charged with aggravated assault and battery. Police arrested him at his mother's home on Wednesday.

City police say Jones stabbed her son six times with a butcher knife. He suffered wounds to his shoulder, calf, and chest. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

Investigators say this type domestic dispute is rare, but they take it seriously, “Oh, we take everything like this seriously. An assault as been alleged, certainly we're going to follow up on it,” said Lt. Ron Cantrell with the Spartanburg City Police Department.

Spartanburg hospital treated and released Carson after minor surgery to make sure his mother's knife did not penetrate his heart.

The city does not plan to charge the mother unless the solicitor's office sees otherwise.

Really? You mean there aren't a lot of 21 yo men peeing on their mothers and being stabbed for doing so? Amazing.

[Skipper]

Seriously if the kid is 21 and still goes by Pooh Bear, he has bigger problems.

[Chowhound]

"Why did you pee on me, Pooh Bear?!"
and
"Mama, you done stabbed me!"

are possibly the best quotes ever.

The mother doesn't get charged???! FOR STABBING?

[Midnight Son]

They call that the "Pissbacca" defense.

It's discipline. Tough love.

It seems weird, but maybe the law equates the urination as "assault" and usually whoever starts the problem gets in trouble.

You can practically see the guy rolling his eyes saying this.

This... is... SPARTANBURG!

[Skipper]

No it actually has a SPARTA as well. You've gotta see the site for this. To think someone actually wrote the words and sang that little theme song. Lifetime achievement right there...

Yeah, because urinating on someone is totally the same as stabbing them six times.

I know it's way overboard to respond bieng pissed on with stabbing, but for some reason it seems perfectly logical to me.

[Houngan]

First, let me say that I completely understand, and wouldn't vote against the mother on a jury.

But, I think the difference here is that for the city to charge her, there has to be something bigger, like . . . I don't know what, but I think for simple assault, the son has to press charges. The city would have to cook up something like child endangerment (not that he's a child.) Flowers can weigh in with the legal beagle info.

If the son had been like 6 years old, this would have been tragic. Given that he's 21, this is just hilarious.

Didn't Flowers quit lawyerin'?

When I read the subject I thought this was going to be one of those terrible-to-read-about stories about a crappy parent abusing a toddler. So I was relieved when I read the story.

I see no problem here, not really.

[christopher]

Please don't urinate on me at this point in time.

[Bullhajj]

Classic: Better for Pooh Bear to be pissed off, then Moma to be pissed on. I rest my case.

"Why did you pee on me pooh bear?"

This was actually the last thing said before Eyeore got stuck in the fence.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that most people with a backbone and sense of dignity would consider themselves restrained if they stabbed you a mere six times after you urinated on them.

Yep, being pissed on pretty much deserves a pretty violent response. But then, I'm from the south, where giving the finger is considered a call for a duel.

So she missed his dingus six times? Gotta make your first shot count. Noob.
