The following are just a few of the stabbing reports from the past week, in the United States.

California: In Temecula, a 23 years old man has been accused of stabbing two women, one fatally.   According to the Defense Attorney the man has a history of “severe mental health issues”.  In fact, police knew the guy was dangerous after he made threats to kill his father during a parole visitation back in March!  In Indio, a 17 years old was stabbed to death at a house party.  Apparently the party turned into a fight.  Police arrested the suspect.  California has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the United States, yet they didn’t stop a mother of three from stabbing to death all her children! 

Georgia: In Atlanta, parents pissed themselves after a first grade Kennesaw elementary school student brought a kitchen knife to school (it was in his backpack).

Hawaii:  In Hilo, a 28 years old man was charged with stabbing a man he knew, then randomly stabbing another man and a woman whom he didn’t know.  So far no motive reported.  The three victims were treated, one man is in critical condition.

Illinois:  In Chicago, police shot and killed a man they claim was threatening them with a knife.  Police say the man was also threatening paramedics who had responded to a stabbing report.  A woman has been charged with stabbing to death the father of her child, because he failed to buy her something while they were at the mall!  (who said women are natural pacifists?)

Indiana: In Washington, two people stabbed, one in the neck the other in the shoulder.  Police say the stabbings are not related and have no suspects.

Kansas: In Wichita, a 18 years old man says he survived an attack by several men armed with a gun, knives and even a crowbar.  He says a man armed with a knife slashed at him, but only cut his shorts.  The victim then ran for his life.

Maryland:  In Lanham,  four people stabbed.  Two in the abdomen,  one in the head, the other stabbed in the face.  One person has been arrested.   In Baltimore, police are investigating three stabbings.  Two victims refused treatment, a third victim was driven to the hospital by a friend.  No suspects so far.  In Towson,  three people stabbed in two separate incidents outside a hookah lounge.  Local news reports say that for some reason shootings and stabbings are escalating in connection with hookah bars.  In Ocean City, officials banned knives and laser pointers during the Memorial Day weekend, and are trying to ban them all together: “They’re a public safety issue and a quality of life issue. We try to promote that we’re a family-friendly town here, and we’ve noticed more and more places on the Boardwalk are selling these knives, and that certainly doesn’t lend itself to a family atmosphere.  It is something we want to nip in the bud. We don’t want them on our Boardwalk or in our town.”-Brent Ashley, city council

Missouri: In Saint Louis, four people wounded, one killed, in three separate stabbings.  In the fatal stabbing police said it was the result of an argument over the price of illegal drugs.  In the second case it was a fight between two women.  In the third case it was a home invasion in which residents where held at gunpoint while they were methodically slashed with a knife by a woman (who said women are natural pacifists?).  One victim jumped out a window, and another tried to run out the door but was shot in the back.  The sadistic criminals then fled.  All three victims survived.

New Jersey: In Kinnelon, a 25 years old man stabbed his apparent father 13 times, then stabbed his mother(?).  Police refused to confirm the relationship of the people involved, saying only that they consider it a domestic violence case.  In Wayne, a man was shot in the head by cops after threatening to kill his mother with a knife.  Even after being shot in the head police claim he resisted arrest.  He’s in the hospital and news reports say the man had “ran out of meds”.   A neighbor described the family as “…wonderful people, and very, very nice.”   In New Jersey using a knife will get you charged with “unlawful use of a weapon” and “possession of a weapon for unlawful use”.  Wow, can you make anymore laws to fill your books?   They obviously didn’t stop these crimes from happening!

New Mexico:  In Albuquerque, a man was stabbed in the stomach and throat.  He walked into a convenience store and asked for help.   At first the employees thought it was fake, but finally called 911: “Yes, this guy in the parking lot, I think he got shot or something, he’s bleeding to death.”-911 call

Responding police locked down the street and the store, but no arrests made.

New York: In Onondaga County, since April there have been multiple stabbings as the result of anything from domestic violence to armed robberies.   At least nine people stabbed, four people arrested.  In Buffalo, a man was slashed in the back of his head, apparently crack cocaine was involved.   Laws such as “menacing”, “criminal possession of a weapon” and “assault” failed to stop the crimes.

Pennsylvania: In Lancaster, one man stabbed in the nose after ignoring another man who asked for a cigarette.   Another man stabbed twice in the shoulder during an attempted armed robbery.  Police have no suspects.  In Harrisburg, a 20 years old woman has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her 45 years old boyfriend (who said women are natural pacifists?).  In Shippensburg, a 22 years old man was stabbed to death, a 25 years old man was charged with the homicide.   One local news report said the victim had just served time in prison,  for stabbing.  No other info was given by cops.  People living in the neighborhood said the men(?) were arguing over a woman.

South Carolina:  Summerville police want to arrest a man for killing his 60 years old girlfriend with a knife.  The suspect has gone missing.

Texas: In Fort Worth, God refused to stop a Texas Christian University student from being stabbed.  Police say the victim’s guts were hanging out, he survived.  Police say it was the result of a racial argument.

Virginia: In Purcellville, police shot and killed a teenager who they say attacked them with a knife.  Apparently the teen was going to kill himself anyway.  In Woodbridge, a man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing to death another man during an argument.
