Mass casualty event in Traverse City, Michigan.
Alleged perp of stabbings was stopped by an armed Black man. Video here.
Traverse City is the northern-Michigan's Liberal Utopia.
The buzz is that most of the victims were elderly. Perhaps because slower targets are easier to stab.
Name of alleged perp has not been released but he is wearing odd, baggy, pajama-like black slacks in the video.
Customers in parking lot seem to be (mostly) oblivious to the drama. One of the victims is shown hunched over from a belly wound as he is standing in the parking lot. Stabbing is silent. It is easy to be caught unaware. Keep your heads on a swivel.
I would be willing to buy the Black man who stopped him a beer any time he drives through Eaton Rapids.
A good man, I hope he isn't punished by the process of the law system. My neighbor's pistol was finally returned nasty dirty about a month after the Judge said it was justified and case dismissed.
ReplyDeleteWe need real men like these. Especially men that stopped him when they didn’t have a weapon but themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt looked like a couple of the men were prepared to use shopping carts as battering rams.
DeleteIdentifying items that allow you to engage at a distance or are force multipliers when you enter a new space is a great "survival" exercise.
Example: If you go to a church today, there are probably candles, candle sticks, folding chairs, canes, walkers, hymnals, poles for opening windows, devices for lighting-and-extinguishing tall candles, Aunt Mabel's purse, flag pole(s)...maybe heavy bowls, swords.
I always check the location of dry chem fire extinguishers when I go to any store. If a situation unfolds, you can spray from quite a distance. If you hit their face, at the very least they will be probably be blinded. If they breath in the dry chem, that powder is so fine they will probably choke. If you have a CO2 extinguisher and blast in their face, mouth, nose, they will become asphyxciated.
DeleteTC used to be such a nice place ... but that was long before "woke" meant something other than "not asleep"
ReplyDeleteThe guy with the gun showed remarkable restraint IMO.
ReplyDeleteThe perp was backing up. From a legal defense standpoint it is a gray area. The perp HAD just stabbed 11people but was not, maybe, an immediate threat. If the perp had advanced one step toward the dude with the gun I bet he would have been on the receiving end of a mag-dump.
