Someone still buys the Rambo knives !!!

I read about this earlier today....Man that is messed up. You won't see me riding the bus any time soon.
 
I wonder if he used the new head hacking one in carbon steel or the old ripsaw stabber in 420J2? The article didn't mention if he used a kydex or leather sheath. Kydex would be better if you're going to be hacking heads off, I would think. What's the Rockwell hardness of the Rambo knife, anyway? All in all, I think it was a poor knife story. We don't even know which Rambo model it was. Must not have been the I or II or he would have used the sawback to cut out of the bus. My guess is the new machete-like Rambo IV. Thank God he didn't use a Busse! It is horrid crime, for sure. This is the kind of crime you get when you ban snub nose revolvers!
 
It's always amazes me that when this stuff happens no one does anything. I bet the only guy that would have helped out was the guy getting stabbed.
 
I totally agree...I told a couple of the guys at work this story and they all asked why no one helped..I cant answer...I would have tried to do something..I know this, i just wish more people thought about others like so many of us would.
 
It is a sad state of affairs that not one person on the whole bus could save the young man. I bet none were armed.
 
Armed? I agree with the 2nd and all, but hell, I have 2 arms, with cannon balls attached...I would have knocked him out and preceeded to punch him until there was a hole in place of a head. I cant stand buy and watch someone get murdered...I just couldnt do it..and for sure if the guy had a blade, not a gun. Come on, somebody else here has to be able to say that they would have jumped on the guy...I know I would have. Its a really sad state of affairs that we live in a world were the good do nothing.
I know that this is a bit far fetched for this forum..but barring a tactical dispute as to the best measure or technique...how prepared are you to dish out violence if the need arises?? Just curious, no pressure. I believe that it could and sometimes is directly related to survival. violence is "the final arbiter" afterall.
 
Hell I would have grabbed someones bag and started bashing him with it. I agree Gene, there is no way I'd just stand there while some dude gets butchered.
 
I'm gonna agree 100%. It only takes 3-8 seconds to choke a man out. Samething on an airplane I ain't dying because a dude has a box cutter
 
The part I don't understand?

"...Colwell said the "brave" behaviour of the passengers and driver probably prevented anyone else from being hurt...."

He must mean this:

"...I was running up the alleyway, slapping people telling them to get going, move, get off the bus. I got pushed over, some lady got pushed over, I was just making sure everybody was OK, and we all got off the bus..."

and this

"...When we came back on the bus, it was visible at the end of the bus he was cutting the guy's head off and pretty much gutting him up," said Caton.

The attacker ran at them, Caton said, and they ran out of the bus, holding the door shut as he tried to slash at the trio..."

and this

"...While we were waiting on the side of the road, [the attacker] was taunting the police with the head in his hand," said Caton..."


They bravely ran away. What a bunch of <insert very derogatory and vulgar terms here>.

As far as fighting back? The poor guy was asleep. He woke up to find himself being stabbed repeatedly. He was basically murdered in his sleep. Kind of hard to fight back when, by the time you're awake and conscious, you've probably been stabbed several times severely, and you're dying.

If I had been there, I would have killed the guy, or died myself, trying.
 
For those who may think Gene is being an internet tough guy, he's not.

Having met him and looked him in the eye, he is a guy who does what he says, and I knew when I met him that this is a dude I would want having my six anyday.

There's no doubt in my mind he'd do what he said.
