Facebook Flames Spark Real-World Stabbing

Aaron Calhoun wound up in Toldeo Hospital after confronting a couple who'd posted something about his sister on Facebook.

People take Facebook postings very seriously. Sometimes to excess, like reacting violently to posts. That led to a stabbing in Toledo, Ohio this week, according to an NBC affiliate there.

Aaron Calhoun wound up in Toldeo Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after 20-year-old Taresa O’Neal hit him with a frying pan and followed that up with a stabbing.

The 25-year-old Calhoun had gone to O’Neal’s home upset about a Facebook posting concerning his sister.

Calhoun was attacked by O’Neal and her male partner, who were both arrested afterward.

I suspect they’ve gotten some good legal advice in the mean time.
