Three stabbings, no one dead. Too bad they didn't have a guns, eh?

Three men were stabbed just before 8 p.m. Wednesday near Seattle's
Victor Steinbrueck Park, according to police. A short while later,
police arrested three possible suspects in the attack.

All three suspects had previous criminal records and were on
active
Department of Corrections Supervision, according to Jeff Kappel,
Seattle Police spokesman.

One of the stabbing victims appeared to have life-threatening
injuries, Kappel said. The conditions of the other two were
unknown
Wednesday night.

All three stabbing victims - two 20-year-olds and a 19-year-old -
were
taken to Harborview Medical Center, according to Helen
Fitzpatrick, a
spokeswoman for the Seattle Fire Department.

According to Kappel, at 7:47 p.m., police received a 911 call
saying
people had been stabbed at Western Avenue and Virginia Street.
There
were no suspects at the scene, he said.

Officers later found three men at the corner of Pine Street and
Eighth
Avenue near the Paramount Theatre who were possible suspects,
Kappel
said

One suspect, a 35-year-old man, had cut marks and injuries and was
taken to Harborview, Kappel said. The other suspects were a
35-year-old man and a 44-year-old man. Police recovered a knife
and a
screwdriver from the suspects.

All three will be booked into the King County Jail for
investigation
of assault or Department of Corrections violations, Kappel said.

Should knives be outlawed? What about rocks? you can cause some
serious damage with a rock!

You are much more likely to survive an attack via gun vs. an attack
via knife. There may not be as many attacks, but a lot more serious
damage is done with a large cutting implement.

This makes some sense, but I'd like to see some statistics. The
problem is the severity of gun attacks.. not too many mass killings
with knives. With a knife, it's up close and personal. With a gun,
almost any distance is possible.


...and there's always the chance you can outrun a whacko with a
knife...not so much for a bullet.

That is the reason why I wish Harry didn't own guns. An old man in a
walker can out run Harry (he is a tad bit overweight), but since he
purchased a gun, he suddenly has become Mr. Macho. A gun in the hands
of someone with a mental illness is a recipe for disaster.

If that was the case, the Dopey Army in this newsgroup would be
considered more dangerous than a cat 5 hurricane tracking for New
Orleans.

Why do you call Harry and his buddies the "Dopey Army"? Harry have a
severe mental illness, but that doesn't mean his is "dopey". Well,
except when he takes a few too many "Bennies".

As you well know ..it's Johnny PreparationH Herring and his motley band
of irregulars who comprise the Dopey Army.
Weren't you refused admission because of not meeting the minimum (and I
mean minimum) requirements?

Oh, I must have missed that memo discussing the "Dopey Army" and the
minimum requirement. Were you the intellectual giant who came up with
the name the "Dopey Army"? You must be very proud of yourself.
