Crazy Woman In Chicago Stabs Boyfriend To Death For Stealing Her Beer

Posted by Verena von Pfetten

 

There are plenty of reasons to be pissed at someone who steals your beer, and plenty of other ways to get back at them. That said, we're pretty sure that stabbing them to death is a slight over-reaction.

Regina Williams, 55, of Chicago's West Side, has been accused of stabbing her boyfriend to death for doing the unthinkable - which is to say: he drank her beer. 

About 6 p.m. Wednesday, the two were sitting in Anderson's car outside his home when Williams became angry that he was drinking her beer, authorities said. They began to quarrel, and Williams allegedly pulled a knife she carried for protection and began stabbing Anderson.

Uh, that seems like a justifiable reaction. NOT! (Side Note: When was the last time you used the total bait n' switch phrase of "Not!" Because we certainly can't remember and can't help but wonder why it's been so long...) But don't worry it gets worse:

Afterward, Williams got out of the car and called down the street to Anderson's nephew, saying, "You better come get your uncle—I just killed him," according to her arrest report. 

Yup, she made the victim's nephew come deal with her crazy work. What could she possibly have had to do that prevented her from calling 9-1-1 herself? Well, the Assistant State attorney reports that afterwards "Williams got back in the vehicle and finished drinking her beer."

At least the lady's got her priorities straight.

(Disclaimer: We feel kind of bad for making fun of her, since Williams apparently "has a history of mental illness," but seriously: that shit is insane.)

listen, we are straight gangsta in chicago and we take our Old Style beer VERY seriously.  My friend stayed over while my roommates and I were on vacation, and we get back and find he drank all our beer! Good thing he wasn't there because we were FURIOUS and might have clawed him to death.

And we drink the good stuff too! have you ever had a 312? delicious.
