Simon Cowell Makes it Look So Easy

Apparently, in some circles, not being complimentary enough of your buddy’s singing warrants death. From LATimes.com comes this story by Ching-Ching Ni about people who have an interesting set of priorities.- or maybe they are just angry when drunk.

Julian Sermano, 58, of San Juan Capistrano and two other men had been drinking and singing together at a park in 2007 when the three got into an argument.

The victim, Blas Gutierrez, 39, allegedly did not like Sermano’s singing and suggested that he was a better singer, prosecutors said. Sermano apparently became angry at the snub and the two began fighting.

Some things are worth fighting and killing/dying over.

The third man, Maurico Molina, 34, also of San Juan Capistrano, intervened by pulling out a pocket knife and stabbing Gutierrez twice.

Then Sermano allegedly pulled out his own knife and killed Gutierrez. But ther'es more to the story.

At first, prosecutors say, Sermano missed Gutierrez and wounded Molina instead.

You can't make this stuff up.

As Molina fell to the ground and tried to call 911, Sermano allegedly chased Gutierrez through the park and repeatedly stabbed the victim, according to the district attorney's office.

What, no kids joined in?
