AUGUST 24, 2022 MIDWEEK 25
At a funeral on Aug. 6 at Rolling Hills Memorial Park in Richmond, California, a fam- ily brawl broke out after the deceased’s son and daughter started arguing, SFGate re- ported. Police were called to the scene around 1:30 p.m., where up to 20 family mem- bers abandoned the service to fight with each other. The 36-year-old brother got into a vehicle and “attempted to drive toward his sister in an aggressive way, but instead he struck another female and sent her to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,” said Sgt. Aaron Pomeroy of the Richmond Police Department. He also managed to knock over head- stones and vases and break a water main, causing the fu- neral plot to fill up with water.
The coup de grace was knocking over the casket; fortunately, the deceased did not fall out. When the brother finally emerged from the car, someone hit him with a cane to subdue him. The brother was later charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.
That’s Gotta Hurt

Katherine Perkins, from Arnold, Maryland, was stabbed in her groin area by the fish’s pointed bill as her companions tried to reel it in. The boat returned to shore and Perkins was airlifted to a hospital.
