Ah, young love…
This story from the newly downsized Riverside Press-Enterprise captures the essence, the je ne sais quois of beautiful, romantic Hemet, California:
An apparent love triangle led an 18-year-old woman to beat a 17-year-old girl with brass knuckles during a party in Hemet, breaking her nose and disfiguring her face, authorities said today.
No, that sound isn’t Cupid’s arrows striking their target. It’s the small bones in her face crunching like saltines in a bowl of truck stop chili. But what could’ve caused this little imbroglio?
“Information obtained during the investigation indicated that the two young women had an ongoing dispute over a mutual boyfriend,” Pinney said.
Clearly, he’s quite a catch. It is Hemet, after all.

UPDATE: Looks like a certain petite flower is going to have her day in court today. What’s the charge Mister District Attorney?
Lynsie Elizabeth Caldwell was booked Tuesday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a dangerous weapon, infliction of great bodily injury, mayhem and torture.
Whew! No kidding!
