Around AmeriKa: Skimping on Easter in Ohio

"Woman killed in Easter outfit fight, police say" by Associated Press | April 7, 2010

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The family of a woman who was killed during a fight that police say started over a skimpy Easter outfit — jean shorts and a green T-shirt tied up around her midriff — said yesterday that her style was well known among relatives.

You have to be kidding.

Danielle Pickens often wore short skirts to the holiday gatherings hosted by her older second cousin, Evelyn Burgess, said Pickens’s sister, Ralinda, and uncle, Tico....

Evelyn Burgess was angry at Danielle over her outfit and accused her of flaunting her looks around the men at the party, including Burgess’s husband, Ralinda Pickens said.

Bitter old Burgess, 'eh?

A fight broke out with Evelyn Burgess and Danielle struggling with a baseball bat, then ended as Ralinda Pickens broke things up, got her sister outside, and prepared to drive her home. The sisters were in the car when Burgess came running up with a gun, reached inside the car, pulled Danielle by the hair, and shot her, Ralinda Pickens said.

And she isn't rising from the dead like Jesus.
