Threesomething

The evil triangle of relationships, memorably analyzed in Jean-Paul Sartre's play No Exit, is an occasional (if always unfortunate) theme of father children relationships.

Today's evidence comes from the case of the Yonkers (N.Y.) Ibrahims. Father Salah took at shot at his daughter's boyfriend, but only after son Michael whacked his sister's suitor over the head (before losing his cudgel and getting whacked himself). Police intervened after said boyfriend spent two hours locked in Ms. Salah's apartment, surely not the end result father and son were looking for.
