Cops: Man says he ‘snapped,’ beat girlfriend with curling iron

Authorities say 21-year-old Clayton Whittemore—a New York college
student accused of killing his girlfriend—told a sheriff’s deputy he
“just snapped” and beat his girlfriend with his fists and a curling
iron while visiting her at college last month, according to a Monroe
County Sheriff’s Office report.

University police found Alexandra Kogut—an 18-year-old communications
major at The College at Brockport—dead in her dorm room on September
29. A medical examiner determined she died as a result of blunt force
trauma.

Gosh, I wonder how the number of people murdered each year with curling
irons compares to the number murdered with guns.

Somehow, Bert and Tim think these outliers should be measured as valid
concerns since they resulted in a death. It's now something like 2000
deaths by gun since Newtown.

One by curling iron. I seriously doubt the CDC (an apolitical org)
would classify curling iron deaths as an epidemic, as they have gun
deaths.
