HAVERHILL - A Massachusetts woman says her ex-husband was stabbed in an argument over cannolis.
Serena Clohisy of Haverhill testified in district court Monday that her former husband, Patrick Clohisy, came to her house May 5 to give their 11-year-old daughter a box of cannolis. Clohisy says her live-in boyfriend, 44-year-old Michael Magyar, threw them away. The Eagle-Tribune reports that when her ex-husband found out, he was upset and told her he was coming over to talk to Magyar. She says she heard noises minutes later and went outside and saw the two men. Her former husband was bleeding. Magyar told a 911 operator that he stabbed Clohisy but told police he acted in self-defense after Clohisy punched him. Clohisy survived the stabbing. Magyar is charged with armed assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
This is going to sound shocking, but I can kinda see where this guy was coming from, stabbing him over cannolis that he had every right to throw out.
So let me delicately tip toe around this one. I like cannoli’s, I do. But I don’t think they’re the end all, be all, great desert. And I can see how this creates conflicts, because people who love cannolis, really fucking love cannolis. People waiting in 100 deep person lines in the north end just to snag a cannoli. Nevermind that theres’ a shop ever 60 feet selling the things. I lived in the north end for a year and all I ever heard from family and friends outside the city when I was coming home was if I could bring some cannolis. People, they sell other stuff, you know that right?
So the fact that this guy chucked the canolis doesn’t phase me, and the fact that he had to stab a dude trying to defend his right to throw the pastries out also doesn’t shock me. Probably just another rabid cannoli fan who hung out for way too long on the side of the road in boston on a Saturday night pissed off that he wasted his time for nothing.
