Go Straight To Jail, Do Not Pass Gas
Looks like somebody forgot his Subtle Butt!
Waco police were called to investigate possible life-threatening flatus activity at Clarion Inn hotel this week. A 35-year-old victim received stab wounds to the chest after his friend attacked him for allegedly inexcusable gaseousness in their shared room.
Perhaps his buddy was merely assisting with first aid, in the hopes that an open chest wound might help alleviate gas pressure? But for right now he's in jail on an aggravated assault charge.
Something to think about when you're choosing who to share a hotel room with.

Justifiable Homicide?
This reminds me of something in the police reports about one guy going off on another because he had smelly feet.
Hygiene-related crimes: America's Dark (and Odorous) Secret.
How is this consumer related?
Totally worth it, IMO.
@HungryTuna: The Consumerist wrote the story wrong, here let me see if I can get it written in the typical slant that they normally do:
"Staying in a Clarion Inn hotel may get you stabbed. Apparently the hotel staff has no policy to protect it's customers from others who may stab them. There room are not properly vented to handle a person of the gassish state to help prevent others in the same room from smelling the gas release. We believe that no room should be given without proper ventilation, and should not be given to someone who will not be able to handle the poorly ventilated room."
Well, you know what they say.
He who smelt it...gets to stab the person who delt it repeatedly in the chest.
@coan_net: Jesus Hungry Tuna, lighten up and pull the stick out, not everything here needs to be consumer related.
Well, it is faster than going out and buying Beano.
@HungryTuna:
This is a free blog about consumer rights and activities. If they only stuck to the issues at hand, and never posted anything funny or irrelevant, it would be quite a sad, boring blog.
In retaliation, the victim should have held a lighter next to his butt, leaned down and...
@eddie9999: My post was meant as a joke / sarcasm. Sorry that a joke means that I have a stick up my... well whatever.
Sorry that I did not mark my reply as a joke - I forgot that some people will take everything serious unless you put "Joke" or a :-) or something similar.
I apologize to you for forgetting to do that.
maybe he dutch-ovened the other guy?
@windycity: Well they replied to me with my name & Hungry Tuna's name, so I assumed that the reply was to both of us.
Guess I will need to apologize for assuming that when someone replies to me instead of someone else that it was not meant towards me. Guess I should try to try to figure out more what others are doing then just assuming they did it correctly. I apologize again then. :-)
Was his buddy John Wesley Hardin, by any chance?
Bathroom humor, yeah, funny... I get it.
Anybody who is making light of someone being stabbed, however, really needs to reassess their line of thought.
"Something to think about when you're choosing who to share a hotel room with."
Yeah, don't room with someone that passes excessive gas, you could land in jail.
@coan_net: The problem is that there are people here who would say what you said and be completely serious.
@cwlodarczyk: Nobody died. It sucked that there was a stabbing, sure, but it could have been worse. So chill. It's all good.
Yay! where i live finally made the consumerist! wait..umm..lul
I did an informational interview with the deputy assistant ME for a paper for school once, and he told me most of the murders they see are over the dumbest shit imaginable. The example he used was two people arguing and one picks up a gun and goes, "I'm gonna kill you!" and the other one says, "Go ahead, moron!"
BLAM!!!!!!
They're dead.
Didnt he think stabbing the other guy would release even more gases?
Does SubtleButt actually work? Seriously, I'm not joking here...
Some people just get stabby over the silliest things...
