Walking canes and butcher knives need to be regulated. /sarc.
Just like in detroit, not a peep from nannie bloomers and the “mares against illegal knives”.
And this just in from our You’re Not Gonna Believe This department....
Back when they were a couple, they must’ve been a real hard-lovin’ couple, and now this.
who keeps a butcher knife on top of a dresser??????!!!!!!!
Two important lessons are to be gained here.
The first is to never underestimate the threat of a knife, especially in close quarters. Do not assume a handgun is the better weapon inside a building.
If at all possible, get a trusted friend, a *very* dull wooden or rubber knife, and a cap gun, and *practice* with variations. You will learn volumes in just a few minutes. Change the distances, the lighting, and always act like you are both in an unexpected situation.
The second lesson is the unpredictability of junkies. When you think of a conflict situation, the assumption is usually that the other person is sane, or sane enough, but there are no guarantees with junkies. They may be sane, or not, or vacillating between the two. And this can make them much more dangerous.
They may be fixated on getting more drugs, or on getting something they can use to get more drugs. Or who knows what may be going through their mind? But while they may look reasonably normal, you have to assume they are violently insane.
