[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insane. The man held people at knifepoint. What about the woman he threatened? He's the victim now? [/quote] Did you read the article? The man barricaded himself in the store. Police fired multiple shots b/c he resisted and had a knife when they broke through barricade. It seems that bystanders reported he was homeless and having a mental health episode. [/quote] Mental health challenges explain violence with a knife, but do not excuse it. A knife is a lethal weapon and you can defend yourself or others against someone with a knife by using another lethal weapon. Including a gun. It sucks. But cops are not the enemy. Poor access to health care including mental health care is. [/quote]
