Exactly! So once again we see a clear example of how if even one person could have confronted the attacker with another weapon, this could have been stopped early in the process.
But here's the really unthinkable part: 20 people in a High School? You mean we have puss irised all the teenage boys so much that no one would pounce on this F-ER after the first person was stabbed?! If that would have happened in my school, I know of a half dozen boys that would have rushed him within the first 10 seconds.
I thought there was a no tolerance policy for both bullies and knives at school. Clearly a policy update is in order.

Agreed. We've tried jail now I'd like to see us bring back some more creative forms of punishment. How about the brazen bull, the iron maiden, or the pear of anguish? Give these nuts something to really fear. Don't know if it would really deter crime but, what we are doing now isn't working.

Ban knives now while we still have a chance..... J/K

Maybe they were waiting for him to reload
That is slightly more funny than sad.
But the point is solid--when will people take responsibility for their safety, and those around them?!
Gang-tackle the bastage, and if he accidentally breaks his damned face several times, oh well.

Believe it or not, a lot of people don't know they've been stabbed until after the confrontation is long over. Few report seeing the knife during the attack itself. There's no telltale gun shot alerting everyone in the vicinity. Just random people screaming. Certainly not the first time many students in the area had heard some people screaming for no alarming reason. Easy to mistake it for something else. Do you go investigate every car alarm you hear in your neighborhood? Me either.
Shit happens faster than you might think. Over before it started a lot of times, so to speak.

You don't need knives for Michelle's school lunch program.

Be careful. We don't want to give the MD General Assembly any ideas.

I'm sure they'll blame it on the knife and not the mentally challenged person carrying it.

It really comes down to the overall assumption of innocence until proven guilty, except when armed with a tool for self defense, then a person is automatically guilty of something.
One set of liberals really do not understand what they have wrought. The other set is willing to trade a few lives to achieve their goals. Both sets disgust me for different reasons. The first group because they don't really think things through, the second because they start with the idea that it will be lives that don't matter to them.
Went to Columbia Mall the other day (my usual shopping site) for the first time since the shooting in January. After we completed the purchase and i was leaving after a positive shopping experience with a terrific saleslady, I mentioned my reluctance to come to the mall since the shooting. She assured me that that was not a common occurrence at this mall, nothing to fret about. I asked her if she noticed anything in common in the places these types of things happen. She pondered if briefly, replied no and rattled off the list (schools, malls, theatre...). I pointed out they were all gun free zones, and a light bulb went on. Then I said if someone tried to do that at a range, they might get one shot off before the entire scenario changed. She agreed after a thoughtful pause.. Decided that was a win conversation at that point, thanked her and left.

How else are you going to get a decent meal? I heard the rats in the kitchen make a better meal than anything in Michelle's menu.

That's a nice mall. Went and saw Noah with my son there. He was talking about the shooting and I told him it was the safest place because it just happened and lightening rarely strikes twice. I noticed I was people watching and exit watching while I was watching the movie.
Then Fort Hood happened the next day. Then this stabbing crap happens today. We are no longer really and truly safe.
And don't try the Key Lime cheesecake at the Factory. It's addictive.

I heard it was a high capacity assault-style knife.
