A fight between friends over a check escalated Monday night into a woman being crushed to death against her North Sacramento mobile home as her teenagers watched, authorities said.

Kathleen Hickey, 35, and Michelle Wong, 37, were good friends. They had agreed that Wong would receive her mail at Hickey's address in the Village Green Mobile Home Community in Del Paso Heights, said Sacramento police spokesman Sgt. Justin Risley.

But that friendly agreement turned fatal at about 7 p.m. Monday, according to police, who gave the following account:

4. Tis a shame when a Wong Slaughters a Hickey

There is a joke in there somewhere but I just can't find it.

Wong way to give a Hickey.

7. That's more sad than amusing

One wonders whether drugs or alcohol were factors in any of these people's behavior.

8. Slaughter - what an appropriate surname

And I'm with PagerBear - I bet there was a fair amount of drugs and/or alcohol and, i wuold add, severely stunted social and emotional development. Egads, I find myself so able to picture this, having had friends and family who arevery much like that.

And, of course, having watched a president who's just like that for the last 3.36 years.

Seriously, though, I've lived around people like this, and they tend to be rather depressing areas and sad situations.
