If someone there had been carrying a gun innocent people wouldn't have got hurt. Unless it was the stabbers that had the gun I guess.
You'd think a couple of people would be able to subdue someone carrying a knife before over a dozen people were hurt

Slash wounds alone are fucking dangerous, never mind getting stabbed.
I find black knives to be particularly scary.
An obvious and shameful lack of knife control, obviously we need to pass more laws outlawing knives.
I like how in this thread everyone says what they don't mean and it's so funny.
can't stab someone with a gun!
how do you even REMEMBER a line from Surf Ninjas

As a bullet enters the body, it causes laceration and crushing wounds. The bullet punctures tissue and bone, crushing or pushing aside anything in its path. When a bullet passes through tissue, it creates a cavity that can be 30 times wider than its track (the path it takes). This cavity closes behind the bullet less than a second after the bullet passes, but the cavitation it causes can damage nearby tissue, organs and bones via shock waves.The type and amount of injury sustained from a bullet also depends on what a bullet encounters. Soft tissue can carry shock waves more easily than bone, but since bone is dense, it absorbs more force (and damage). Bones also splinter, causing further damage as the fragments travel through the body as projectiles themselves.
On June 6, 1822 Alexis St. Martin, at the fur trading post on Mackinac Island, was accidentally shot with a musket at close range. The charge of the musket shot left a hole through his side that healed to form a fistula aperture into his stomach.[3][4]William Beaumont, a US Army surgeon stationed at a nearby army post, treated the wound. Although St. Martin was a healthy 20-year-old, he was not expected to recover due to the severity of his wound. Beaumont explains in a later paper that the shot blew off fragments of St. Martin's muscles and broke a few of his ribs. After bleeding him and giving him a cathartic, Beaumont marked St. Martin's progress. For the next 17 days, all food he ate re-emerged from his new gastric fistula. Finally after 17 days, the food began to stay in St. Martin's stomach and his bowels began to return to their natural functions. When the wound healed itself, the edge of the hole in the stomach had attached itself to the edge of the hole in the skin, creating a permanent gastric fistula. There was very little scientific understanding of digestion at the time and Beaumont recognized the opportunity he had in St. Martin - he could literally watch the processes of digestion by dangling food on a string into St. Martin's stomach, then later pulling it out to observe to what extent it had been digested. Beaumont continued to experiment on St. Martin off and on until 1833.Alexis St. Martin allowed the experiments to be conducted, not as an act to repay Beaumont for keeping him alive, but rather because Beaumont had the illiterate St. Martin sign a contract to work as a servant. Beaumont recalls the chores St. Martin did: "During this time, in the intervals of experimenting, he performed all the duties of a common servant, chopping wood, carrying burthens, etc. with little or no suffering or inconvenience from his wound." Although these chores were not bothersome, some of the experiments were painful to St. Martin, for example when Beaumont had placed sacks of food in the stomach, Beaumont noted: “the boy complained of some pain and uneasiness at the breast.” Other symptoms St. Martin felt during experiments were a sense of weight and distress at the scrobiculus cordis and slight vertigo and dimness of vision.
Knife wounds are definitely better than bullet wounds. For that reason, medieval combat was actually more humane and less deadly than modern combat, at least according to Face of Battle.

I'd probably rather be blown to smithereens than take an arrow wound and slowly die of an infection.
I think PD was referring to medieval times
I wonder if the person was baited into doing this. We should be looking out for this mass stab baiter.

Chalfan, who said he took a drama class with the suspect, described him as eccentric and a target for bullies. "He dresses weird, he wears gloves and often carried around toys like stuffed animals. He was a really friendly kid ... a joyful person."
