Its kinda crazy to me how someone can stab 18 people before someone is able to stop them. Were all the victims alone with nobody close to stop the suspect? I probably would chicken out aswell in a situation where im not close, but if somebody gets stabbed right next to me, there is nothing to do but fight is there?
That makes a lot more sense then. This is no laughing matter but for the lack of a better example he was basically on a stealth mission then, quickly and silently killing people to maximise the damage he could do.
Not a whole bunch you can do without some kind of polearm or range weapon. At most you can try stabbing him back if you happen to have a knife, but you’ll probably both bleed out. More than likely some of those 18 people who were attacked were likely hurt trying to help.
Idk if a liveleaks equivalent still exists, but back in the day you could see the results of unarmed people trying to disarm someone with a knife. It’s usually not pretty even if it’s a couple people working together.
I think the poles that allow you to pin someone down are prob going to be more common place in places like the UK or Australia .

Wikipedia says the perpetrator arrived at 3:20 pm and police only started getting phone calls closer to 4pm, so that seems to be the case.
Apparently a number of people in the shopping centre were unaware anything was happening until police shot the guy.
