I think you are missing my point. Unless the guy is in an ongoing act of stabbing and killing someone why would you willingly attack him while he holds a knife? Likely, peer pressure, mob mentality, and false bravado are to blame.

You are basically running to the knife and stabbing yourself if you see a man holding one in your direction and you decide to attack him. That's why I questioned if the kids even saw the knife before they attacked. I didn't notice anyone call it out prior to the stabbing in the video.
