Four people were found dead and seven others were injured in a stabbing rampage across multiple areas in Rockford, Illinois, on Wednesday afternoon, police say, and a suspect is in custody.
A 15-year-old girl, a 63-year-old woman, a 49-year-old man, and a 22-year-old man were killed in the incident and five others who were injured were transported to local hospitals with “serious injuries,” the Rockford Police Department said in a news release Wednesday evening.
Five people were injured in the city of Rockford and two people were injured in the jurisdiction of Winnebago County, Rockford police spokesperson Michelle Marcomb told CNN.
Well, in a mass event, knives are overall less deadly because of the proximity requirement. But I’ll disagree that the knife is less deadly, when it can be employed correctly, because it can do much more damage to a single target.
This isn’t a point. Like think back on what you just said - it’s literally “well if you’re very close to someone a knife is pretty deadly”
Yeah well I guess that’s why guns are deadlier because you don’t have to be close and can stab lots of people with your high velocity mini-knives.
Every time some tactical pedant will come out of their bunker to educate us on how ackshuyally navy seals prefer knives to guns because they like the smell of blood and every time it’s worthless
I think you think I’m someone else. Maybe calm down and just take a comment for a comment
I think you made a nonsense false equivalency about guns and knives and then go hurt when it was called nonsense
I’m sorry you are upset. It was not my intention.
I’m not upset, you’re just wrong and persistent. If people do get upset at your bad faith arguments, that’s ok in my book. Guns are a plague and a moral wrong in society and apologists have no place. It’s ok to be mad at people arguing for bad things!
I’m not saying guns are good. They should all be melted.
Literally nothing you have said other than this conveys that. You’re sending the very opposite message, and that’s on you, not us.
You’re welcome to read what you want to hear, you won’t believe anything I say anyway. You’ve made up your mind.
There are 2 types of apologies. One where the person takes responsibility and apologizes for the offending action and one where the person takes no responsibility and instead apologizes for how people reacted to the offending action.
The latter puts the onus on the victim, making it less of an apology and more of an additional offending action.
Something to consider.
There is no victim. It’s a topic that we both disagree on.
Something to consider.
Son, you ever see an exit wound?
Bullets cause massively more damage than knives, internally.
This guy survived 35 stab wounds. I’ve never heard of someone surviving 35 gunshot wounds.
I can shoot you 35 times in the foot and you’ll live.
Except by 35 shots, there would only be a stump and I would bleed out and die.
I’ll use a 22 caliber.
I’m not sure why you think that would preserve a foot and not have someone bleed out after 35 shots in the same place.
Ok but that guy wasn’t stabbed 35 times in the foot so your argument is really “if something totally different happened it might not be fatal.” Seems pretty not good, as far as arguments go
This is a very large part of the idea.
Yes… which it why I was pretty specific
