Woman arrested for violent assault on a door and a chair

An unhappy relationship can make a person do crazy things like cheating or drugs or watching Love, Actually. Sometimes an argument can go too far, inducing a type of temporary insanity on the involved parties, kind of like this 50-year-old woman in Pennsylvania who, during a fight with a man in her life, stabbed a door twice and set fire to a chair.

An Erie woman set a chair on fire and twice stabbed a door during an argument in her West 18th Street apartment early Thursday, police said.

Darlene M. Williams, 50, was arrested at 1:05 a.m. Erie police charged her with arson, risking a catastrophe and making terroristic threats. Police said Williams fought with a man in their apartment in the 200 block of West 18th Street.

The man, who was not identified, suffered minor injuries, police said.

The woman might be crazy, but come on, who hasn’t been in her shoes? Sometimes you get so angry in a situation and just need to hurt something. Granted, I’ve only punched a door, not stabbed it in the heart then put on my Bruno Maglis and scurried away like this broad, but still, it’s coming from a similar place. But a chair? What did that poor chair do? Chairs provide rest for weary legs and space for oversized asses. They don’t deserve to be lit ablaze like a common ant under a magnifying glass. They need a spokesperson to parade around like Al Sharpton so that this woman gets what she deserves. I vote for Chairy the Talking Chair from Pee Wee’s Playhouse. He’s at least as garish as Al Sharpton’s medallions and will probably make a lot more sense.
