You thought your Thanksgiving was bad.

A teenager in Georgia was arrested in the Atlanta area after allegedly killing his mother with a knife on Thanksgiving Day.

Varian Hibbert, 18, stands accused of multiple crimes in connection with his mother’s death. He has been charged with one count each of felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a knife during the commission of a felony. . . .

Police took a person of interest into custody at the residence and said that detectives were “investigating the motive for the assault.” . . .

That motive, so far, has proven elusive.

Last year, a man allegedly killed a woman at a Thanksgiving party after digging into leftovers with his bare hands–sparking an argument that ended in tragedy. In 2018, a man allegedly shot his own son following an argument about NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.

1. Holidays bring people together

When people are brought together, conflict happens.

When conflict happens, sometimes it gets out of hand and murder occurs.

2. That's right. If you want to be totally safe on Thanksgiving, stay home alone.

3. Dug into leftovers with his bare hands?

10. I do have to wonder what exactly is meant by dug in.

Did he scoop up a handful of cranberry sauce, or snag a wing and get dressed down for it? Sometimes writers can get a bit creative.

I may have dropped a whole handful of mashed potatoes.

11. Your link is broken

but I did see the story earlier. Awful.

[Tom Kitten]

9. Wow! Thanks for the holiday cheer!

Thread trashed.

[Hortensis]

13. No, our family TG was very nice. An old friend with brain cancer

was able to be there and enjoy herself in spite of memory problems, so an added reason to be grateful.

14. I'm glad you had a nice holiday.

[LakeArenal]

17. All holidays are what you make them.

Ours are always just right.
No family for me but Mr Lake’s family is over twenty with nieces and nephews. Many of them have kids of their own.

Never one harsh word between them. Never some hostile grudge holder.

No maskholes or trumpers. Tho a couple might be closet Republicans. But the dinner table discussions were liberal.
