Famous author Salman Rushdie, who wrote some book that really pissed off hardcore Muslims, was either punched or stabbed furiously Friday by a guy who rushed the stage and wanted Salman to die. The whole thing was witnessed by an AP reporter who specifically said either punched or stabbed. So to reiterate, Salman Rushdie either got his ass kicked or stabbed, probably to death. We’re thinking stabbed though. Usually a punch gets thrown at the head, not at the torso.
The AP’s completely exigent reporting here is almost as good as the AFP’s “A loud bang was heard behind former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who then collapsed to the ground.”
