There was a stabbing locally last night, the by product of road rage that put one of the people involved in the hospital in critical condition with a stab wound to the head. One news agency reported the incident as follows:
Witnesses told detectives it started as road rage when drivers of a car said Monjito cut their car off. At some point, both cars ended up in the Steak n Shake parking lot. Monjito went into the restaurant and is accused of walking back outside, waving a knife at the female driver of the other car. Officers said a friend of the driver got out of the car and attempted to settle the argument. This friend, identified as Hunter Rosier, was then stabbed by Monjito.
I only wish that the person who is now lying in the hospital in critical condition had read my earlier entry as well as the second related entry. GunShyTourist’s number one tip for survival. Do NOT take your empty hands to a knife fight unless you are cornered and there is no other option. If the occupants of the vehicle had just rolled up their windows and driven away when the party with the knife exited the restaurant headed in their direction in a threatening fashion, the altercation could have possibly been diffused, and even if the assailant decided to get in his vehicle and pursue them, law enforcement could have been notified by cell phone and could have intervened in the situation.

First, I prayer for Hunter's family. This was a horrible event that destroyed and effected many people's lives. BUT, it really seems like these news articles are one sided. I've known Mike for over ten years. He just wouldn't stab someone in the head unless he thought his life was in danger. I hope the surveillance tapes show everything. Sounds to me that Mike was followed to steak and shake and a car load of drunk kids provoked by the female driver encouraged them to jump Mike as he left the steak and shake entrance. I hope the orange county authorities get the facts straight and just don't lock someone up before really reviewing all evidence and not just the testimony of Hunter's friends. They probably all talked to get their stories straight. Jumping a handicapped person (Mike's foot recently reattached) isn't cool in my books. Why didn't the girl and her friends just drive away. They followed him, if he cut them off. They didn't have to. Mike, miss ya buddy. Everyone here in the springs is pulling for you. God be with you and the Montijo family.
