QUESTIONS:

1. What the hell was that guy doing loose on the streets, anyhow?

2. What's with this: Chin was given a sobriety test - which he passed - under a new and controversial NYPD policy introduced last Sunday.???? What would they have done if he had failed the test -- put him in jail and turn the knifer loose?

Being as it was NY, I wouldn't doubt it.

I think we all know what must be done: We must create legislation creating a ban on knives!

That’s messed up. Chin should get a medal.

Prayers for this lady and the other victims.

Hopefully, the victim’s neck brace offered some protection from the assault.

What do they expect in a country whose society has such easy access to knives!? /s

I just read the article on Drudge and thought the exact same thing about the sobriety test thing. What in the hell does that have to do with saving a woman’s live? And why didn’t anybody try to help this woman?

For those who don’t to carry a gun or those who don’t have a CCW. This is reasonably priced and legal to carry in 40 states but prohibited in New York.

The sad thing is it sounds like except for the Chef and the Off-duty cop everyone else simply ran away. It is a horrible thing that someone can be being butchered in the middle of the road in NY and most people will simply run away. Thank God the off duty cop was there because it appears that everyone else was too worried about their own skins to do anything to help this lady.

For all the people who witnessed the whole thing, why didn’t anyone do a damn thing? They all just stood/sat and watched the psycho stab the woman over and over. She would have died had the off duty officer not been there.

It should read “Ex-psycho”. The people that immobilized him showed considerable restraint.

This poor woman. She was using a cane and wearing a neck brace from a recent accident, and now this.

Prayers for her recovery.

Do you suppose that Chin was given a sobriety test for his own protection? I mean for when the mental patient sues for getting shot? Honestly, do you think in any ‘red’ city or town in this country that most of the people would be fleeing to save themselves? I’m beginning to think that the ‘red’ areas and the ‘blue’ areas of this country should group separately and form their own governments. I suspect that living in the ‘red’ areas would be a pleasure but living in the ‘blue’ areas, well they probably couldn’t sustain themselves.

...Barron - wearing a neck brace from a recent accident - fell to the ground, holding her cane in one hand and her black Scottish terrier, Velvet, on a leash in the other, but the attack continued.

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.

You beat me to it, but I am going to repost it, as it is unbelieveable that this took place!

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

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!
