Debate coach crimewatch

In the aftermath of the Shanahan fiasco, TCP proudly brings you news of yet another mad professor. This time it’s nothing as serious as mooning a judge, merely assault and arson:

Police say Warner got into a fight with his wife, saying, “it was on.” He then allegedly threw her onto a couch.

While she was in a locked bedroom, she told police Ede Warner tossed her coat onto the stove and turned it on.

The victim was able to escape with a 12-year-old child and throw the burning coat out into the yard before the entire house caught fire.

Dr. Ede Warner was arrested, charged with assault, first degree arson and wanton endangerment.

A scary breed, these debate coaches.

  1. Setting the house on fire, now that’s a novel way to win an argument.

    “Oh, it’s ON!” = best academic war cry ever.
