Friendly argument turns into throat slashing in Bay Shore

It all happened outside the Nutty Irishman, a bar on East Main Street in Bay Shore.

Friends don't stab other friends.

Where the heck is Yorktown Heights? You mean to tell me Bay Shore lured them?

[Pablo]

It's a long drive back to Yorktown Heights in a '94 Saturn with four people. Maybe he was trying to lighten the load. Lucky that this was between friends. The guy might could have been shot.

[Puzzled]

Why would 4 men from Yorktown Heights be at a bar in Bay Shore?

Long ride for some corned beef cabbage and beer.

St. Paddy's Day = amateur night.

the boys shoulda stuck with the rootbeer.

Doesn't anyone fight with just their fists anymore? What a bunch of pansies!

"One thing led to another..."

One thing led to another? What kind of reporting is this? Is that not the most important part of this story that Valenti just glazes over? It doesn't shock me that some kid slashed another kid in the throat but I am sort of curious to find out how it went from a discussion in a Saturn to a scene from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre! What is WRONG with this paper?

The only way you would know this is if you go there. I would keep my mouth shut if I were you.

Besides. I was there last week during the Bay Shore St. Patty's Day Parade and thought the place was very nice.

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind ...

If that's a friend I'd hate to see his enemies. Ah, St. Pats. Just a day for losers to get blotto & become idiots

Friends don't slash friends either. I do get annoyed when I read that in the headlines - "friend", and then read what they have done to each other - then they were not really friends, were they?? Which I know is besides the point, but that is my little pet peeve :)

Can't we all just get along? If i am president, I will bring my motherly nuturing back to this country so everyone can be a soft liberal like me.
The only person more nuturing is Monica but we won't go into that.

exactly where is Main street and Little East Neck Road? I lived in West Babylon for 13 years and never saw a main street.

[BroEli]

Someone had it right - amateur night for too many who get drunk on two glasses of beer. Can only bring trouble. Expensive night for the slasher and slashee. They should have stayed in Yorktown Heights.

[LOL]

LOL, guess he didn't do a background check on his friend.

[Southbound]

I'm not sure that a lot of us need to hear what they argued about. Just throw the piece of c_ap in jail and be done with him. He'll find others who are into conflict resolution in a similar way in jail.

Probably the 4 corners, just west of Argyle Park or by the professional buildings. It's the same road but changes name back to 27A.

If you don't mind me adding, a slashing wouldn't satisfy the 1st degree assault charge. This requires a protracted personal injury with longterm effects or is almost deadly.
