re: Taiwan knife attacker kills 3, injures 5. Wild to watch.

I thought he threw throwing stars at the start of the video.

This is ridiculous. I understand where it comes from, but that’s mostly because human knife injuries are much less common.

I see you missed the entire part about "irrational fear"

This article talks more about it.

He jumped to his death after.

Why didn’t somebody just run him over when he started pulling out the knives in the middle of the road?

"Hey, there's a guy setting off smoke bombs in the street. Lemme run him over!"

Because they aren't all psychos?

I am absolutely amazed that literally every single person just stood there and watched this dude act weird, throw smoke bombs, whip out a foot long knife, and start aggressively advancing toward people…..and did nothing, not even move out of the way. Incredible.

We are the only country with people that are bout it. Most of our soldiers go to war because they want to, not because they were told they had to sign a contract.

His smoke bombs we’re shite

We are different from civilians to soldiers.

End of discussion.

Cucked society that lets that dude go around murdering people without anyone doing a thing.

Be serious. What would you have done?

Say you're middle aged. Have a wife and kids. Maybe you're in your 60's or 70's You're in a crowd seeing that. Would have likely been 1 v 1 because most people would be panicked and the initial human reaction to violence is to freeze or flee.

For context, I've trained in Krav Maga for close to 13 years. Knife defense is part of the training. Anyone that's had any experience would tell you knives are the scariest, and most likely, weapon used by criminals. There are defenses, but in a situation like that, who knows. Maybe you could find a weapon like a trash can, chair or something to get between you and the attacker. Or maybe you could rally the crowd to engage in mass and tackle him (not likely they'll be petrified).

Not criticizing as much as pointing out it ain't that easy for the average human being, and even people that have some self-defense training.

He should have fallen upon his own blade.

Probably because they aren’t used to the everyday violence and weekly shootings we see

It looks like they had no idea what was going on

Sure. But how much evidence do you need to see before you realize this dude has a giant knife and is aggressive towards you?

But but Chicago
