Knife control? Time to ban knives? Or, maybe we should make it illegal for deaf people to own knives and put universal background checks and registration in place?

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Multiple victims have been injured in a stabbing attack on the Lone Star College Cy-Fair campus, with one person taken into custody. Authorities now say there was only one attacker.


The violence broke out at about 11:20am at the rear of the Health Sciences Building on the Cy-Fair campus on Barker Cypress Road. The Harris County Sheriff's Department confirms 14 victims, and one suspect in custody. There had been reports of a second suspect, but HCSO now confirms they believe the suspect acted alone and they have ended the search for any further suspects.

Looks like knives CAN be dangerous, too.
 
So your wish is that the perpetrator had used a gun? Is that the purpose of this ugly OP?

I think it's to highlight the deadly and dangerous nature of blade weapons and to ask if we are to cry wolf for every random event involving a gun; why do people remain silent on random events involving blades.
 
If only he'd had a gun, many of them would be dead instead of just injured. A weapon multiplies injury and death, a gun is more effective at spreading them further and faster.

So you're trying to put words in the OP's mouth? Is that the purpose of this ugly post?
 
Dumb argument by the OP that's been debunked plenty of times before. Yes if you only want to focus on a single characteristics of something than yes lets ban gun, lets ban knives, lets ban cars, lets ban heights, but of course nothing in the world has only a single characteristic, so talking about things as if they do is just stupid.

Also I love how you go on self righteous tirades about people using tragedies for political reasons and yet here you are...

I go on self righteous tirades about people going on tirades?

Does anyone notice how the Libbos are responding to this thread? Nice, huh?

You were posting these minutes after creating this topic, it seems you have a pretty strong opinion about people using a tragedy to push a political agenda

I have the right to call them scumbags for exploiting the deaths of their children to push their political agenda.

They're anti-gunners who are exploiting the deaths of their own children to push their political agenda.

This before making this topic:

Obama is exploiting their grief to rob ALL Americans of their civil rights. But, that's ok, because The One is doing it. Right?

So what is it, do you think its wrong to use a tragic event for a political agenda or do you not? Your words say one thing but quite clearly by making this topic your actions say something completely different.

That's all I'm saying.
 
That guy must have had a high capacity magazine on that knife.

Too bad none of those other kids on campus had a gun to blow his stupid-ass head clean off.

Expressing an opinion is now a "tirade"? Is personal attacks really all you have to contribute?

I refuse to believe you're that stupid that you don't understand what I'm saying, but just in case:

You're a hypocrite, and an especially bad one because you use an obviously angry and disrespectful tone (that's the tirade, the quotes of you from other topics) to describe people who you claim are exploiting a tragedy while here you trying to exploit a tragedy yourself.

You're posting personal attacks, so yes, I know exactly what you're saying.
 
Your history of understanding responses to your questions suggest that providing an answer is useless.
 
The suspect in custody looks a little too much like he may have been going for the Joker look like the aurora shooter. IDK, maybe he is a natural ginger psycho
 
Wouldn't it be awesome if we could always chose what kind of weapons the bad guy has? It would be kind of like using the invincibility cheat on a video game. And about as realistic too.

If we banned knives then maybe be would have used a stick and we could have saved even more lives. Think about it, it's a great idea!

By the time we get done banning everything there would be nothing left but harsh words. And then we will all understand the UN.
