Be careful because non knife people like to press non knife legislation in light of these events. Idiots ruining it for all of us...

After this happened, i'm really not surprised by many senseless acts of violence.

I'm not all that suprised by the "five inch knife" detail as the media likes to use numbers as a scare tactic, but clearly the use of the descriptor "folding" points to their underlying political agenda. Makes me just as sick as the act of violence itself.Cheddarnut wrote:Hmm, interesting that they specified it was a 'folding' knife, not just a five inch knife. Maybe im projecting but im on the defensive for obvious reasons.
P.S. That said, i'm all for prohibition.

Yeah, right. He stabbed three, killing one.
This is a reason I don't go to bars anymore.
I used to basically "live" in bars when I was in my running around days.
It's definately a different world now. There used to be bar fights and
what-not, but then you'd end up drinking a beer with the other guys.
Yep, a different world.
Different world for sure. There have been bar fights since the first bar opened, but a human life seems to be worth a lot less these days.BAL wrote:I used to basically "live" in bars when I was in my running around days.

At some Bars / Nightclubs, they already do. The guy did an absolutely stupid thing by losing his temper that way. But the stranger who decided to heckle him for drinking beer out of a wine glass should have kept his mouth shut. Even if he was just having a bit of fun with the guy, that's something you do with a friend or a good acquaintance. Or, at the very least, someone whom a friend has actually introduced you to. You don't pull that nonsense on a stranger who just happened to sit down at a shared table in a crowded Bar. Looking through my short list of close friends, thankfully none of them are that immature as to provoke a stranger into a fight that might escalate WAY out of hand in the blink of an eye.Blerv wrote:That's insane. Quite a shame and another reason not to aggravate people you don't know.
Wouldn't be surprised if they started to outlaw knives in bars. To my knowledge you can't bring a gun into a bar, period.
