That actually happens more than people would like to think, probably because a lot of counties don't feel like investing that much time in making sure their dispatchers are competent.
Question! Since knives seem a hot topic, well until they are hot until you quench 'em (i kid, i kid), I was wondering who here has ever been attacked by someone wielding a knife, or been involved in a confrontation involving a knife? I have two I'll share to start.
One I was a little kid playing with some bigger kids. This chick decided she didn't want to play with me anymore. Her solution, you wonder? She walks inside her house, goes to the kitchen, grabs one of her mom's steak knives comes outside and tells me she is going to stab me. My solution, you wonder? I ran like a bitch back to my house, she actually chased me 2/3 rds of the way still holding the knife. Guess it was a good thing I was faster than her.
The second happened a few years ago. I had a younger friend who had some problems, and on top of those she had some anger issues. Her mother, who had issues of her own did not understand when it was time to back the hell off. Chaos ensued, culminating in a dangerous moment when my friend in a fit of angry desperation grabbed a 10" serrated kitchen knife. Her mom and my mom grabbed her arm, I was in another room. The friend, while being a tiny little shit, was a strong little shit, a crazed strong little shit in this case. She nearly cut off one of my fingers before I choked her out. I even ended up in the ER with it when it was still bleeding 9 hours later, I ended up being pretty lucky since the blade was serrated it tore up my knuckle pretty good.
I shared these stories, and ask others who have stories to share them. How has knife violence directly affected you, and how has it changed your view on which weapons should have more legislature, and why?
