Winona man sleeps through stabbing

.
A 23-year-old Winona man who was stabbed nine times early Saturday morning told police he couldn’t identify his assailants because he slept through the whole thing.

Deputy police chief Tom Williams said Winona Police are investigating the incident which oc-curred at about 1:30 a.m. at a residence on the 700 block of east Fifth Street, but was not reported until 7:57 a.m.
Williams said the victim told officers he slept through the attack and only became aware of his injuries when his girlfriend saw he was covered in blood and brought them to his attention. He was taken to Community Memorial Hospital and then transferred to LaCrosse for treatment. He remained hospital-ized Monday morning.

Williams said the investigation of the incident will continue.

" :"We must remember that the assailants who ...alternative lifestyle... in this pluralistic society of ours, we don't all share the same values." Doesn't represent the views of most Christians. It does sound like a lot of New Age Bullsh*t, however. As another once said "we're all going to the same place, we're just on different roads" Well, try heading South out of Winona & see how long it takes you to get to Chicago!' "

" We will, however, post comments from whacked out nutjobs convinced they're following Christ by comparing being gay (alternate lifestyles) with being murderous assailants. It seems the writer thinks the sin of gay love is somehow on a different level than the sin of the self-righteous pride exhibited by his paragraph. I say he is guilty of being a murderer by speaking ill of his fellow man. Spreading his luciferian hatred, distorting similar minds, hoping mindless minions will be moved to assault & perhaps kill folks he thinks have no right to live, breathe, eat, be healthy, keep meaningful employment of their choice, rent or own a home, revitalize neighborhoods, adopt love & raise unwanted children, be a vibrant part of the community, love who they happen to love.... "What you have done to the least of these, you have also done to Me" "

" Just a guess, but "Cage Fighter" sounds suspiciously like some kind of James Dobson/Jerry Fallwell lovechild. If Dobson and Fallwell had a baby, I wonder what it would look like? Tell me more about how "oppressed" Christians are in this country. Last time I checked, and admittedly it's been a while now, Christianity was doing pretty well around here. According to the Association of Religious Data Archives, Winona County has an "adherent" population of 36,937, all but about 200 of them being Christians. Pretty good average, I'd say. "

" wrote on April 30, 2007 12:55 PM:"We must remember that the assailants who stabbed this man while he was sleeping were merely practicing an alternative lifestyle that we need to be more tolerant of. We must be mindful that in this pluralistic society of ours, we don't all share the same values. We must be vigilant in making sure we don't infringe on these mens right to choose. Decisions like this should be a personal decision between these men and their physicians. Leave people like this alone and go after the real criminals-those that would dare to pray in public." "

How could anyone possibly sleep through something like that without checmical "assistance"?! I would also like to know if his girfriend slept through it too, or if she arrived early in the morning. This whole story sounds really suspicious to me. At least the guy is still alive. " "
