It must be time for some serious knife control. THis has been the point of every protector of the second amendment. If they are going to kill someone the tool is never the issue. I want to see some politician start talking knife control. We really need to get a handle on this and at least start with background checks, and legislation for safes to have them locked up, and none of this nonsense of a 12" knife. The public only needs a pocket knife.
The real story here is the Guardian Angels those guys and gals rock.
"A slashing in Brooklyn marked another knife assault in New York City's subway system, where at least six knifings occurred in January. The stabbings have triggered the reemergence of an anti-crime group, the Guardian Angels, on the city's subways.
According to the New York Daily News, Brooklynite Stephen Brathwaite, 37, confronted two people on Monday during a wait for a No. 3 train, the victim told police. Brathwaite, who suffers from schizophrenia, paced back and forth, staring at the victim and a friend. The victim asked Brathwaite what he was staring at, the Daily News reported, to which Brathwaite responded by throwing coffee on the victim's back.
“Wanna fight?” Brathwaite said.
The victim and Brathwaite then got on separate cars once the train arrived. Yet Brathwaite sought out the victim, police sources told the Daily News, eventually cutting the right side of the victim's face with a folding knife. Brathwaite was arrested at a subsequent subway stop, officials said. The victims' injuries are minor, they added."
