Something doesn't fit

Wichita Low-Lifes

Man stabbed repeatedly in attack by large group

A 20-year-old man was taken to Via Christi-St. Francis early Saturday after he and a 19-year-old man were attacked by about 10 people in the 2000 block of S. Meridian, police said.

Sgt. Lem Moore said the 20-year-old was stabbed 20 times in the upper torso and neck. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The 19-year-old suffered minor injuries, Moore said.

Witnesses told police the attackers were driving a Green Honda hatchback with the letters ATC on one side.

So what you are telling me here is that "10 people" jumped out and stabbed one of two guys 20 some times and left the other virtually unharmed...

Not only that, but they were driving a distinctively GREEN honda with gang affiliated letters on the side.

....while we're on the subject, could someone please explain to me how TEN people fit inside a honda hatchback (presumably a CRX)???

I'm sure it doesn't make sense at ALL that the two started to scuffle and the 19 y/o stabbed the 20 y/o multiple times, making up the whole story out of self-preservation.

Now, I wasn't there, though. That's complete conjecture.

But witnesses said...
Actually, I'd likely go with the explaination you had come up with also.

My thoughts, FWIW. First, there is a gang connection involved in this matter, and the witnesses are scared. Thus, the "about 10" people statement. Secondly, this is an example of the inherent unreliability of eyewitness accounts. Perhaps the number involved was only 5, let's say. Depending upon the activity of the attackers, moving around, etc., the number may well have seemed larger to the witnesses. Third, assuming a gang connection, if one was a member of the gang erupting from the vehicle, he would have been left alone, with the other the object of the attack by the multitudes.

While Dubya's thoughts are as valid as mine, I respectfully submit that my hypothetical has a bit of validity.
