A shirtless madman wielding stolen knives went on a bloody midtown rampage yesterday - stabbing a restaurant worker and a psychologist walking her dog before being shot by an off-duty cop, authorities said.
Deranged Lee Coleman stood wild-eyed over the dog-walker, methodically plunging a knife into her body and face over and over - even pausing to change knives as the woman lay in a pool of blood, screaming for help.

Chin was given a sobriety test - which he passed - under a new and controversial NYPD policy introduced last Sunday.

Never bring a Scottish terrier named Velvet to a knife fight with a deranged psychopath.
Okay, that was a little too flip, sorry. But there's a serious point here: Since NY refuses to recognize the absolute, God-given right of every human being on earth to carry a weapon to defend himself, it's time to encourage law-abiding people to resort to more indirect means; namely, when people must go out, they should only go out with multiple, large, protective, attack dogs on a leash. Few people will do it. But darn if I don't think it's justified.
Because people get prosecuted for that sort of thing, these days. Judges and politicians don't want the public to start getting uppity about defending themselves - best they just take their stabbings like adults and leave the intervention to their betters. ;)
Also baseball bats, tire irons, fireplace implements, chains, canes, and freestanding floor lamps. No sales of 2x4 lumber without training and a license, with registration. And let’s not forget to close that Knife Show loophole. :-)

THAT is Mayor Bloomberg for you! And he thinks he has a chance at the presidency?!?
Yeah, go after the cop, there Mikey; the guy that was saving lives. I can just imagine how you would dealt with 9/11.
And I cannot imagine Rudi EVER going after the police!
“And I cannot imagine Rudi EVER going after the police!”
He endorsed Bloomberg on the way out the door, they’re both gun grabbers, and always will be. Remember Bernie Kerrick? dropped him like a hot potato.
So, thank you Rudi for giving the NYPD the respect it deserved.
The MSM won't stop to think, what if CCP were legal and "Woman shoots man trying to stab her" or even "Dave the insurance agent shoots the psycho" instead of having to rely on an offduty cop. Chef Amarjit Singh deserves credit as well.
That isnt a God given right.
