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?
Stopping someone with a knife is very difficult.
In my youth I used to fight Muay Thai professionally and did so for about ten years. I would be very confident taking on a random person in fisticuffs but I would rank my chances against someone with a knife very, very poorly.
Knives give an obvious reach advantage. Also just one nasty slice or one well placed stab and you’re fucked where generally most people will take a few well placed strikes to stop. The odds just aren’t in your favour.
Basically the safest thing to do against someone with a knife is run for your life or get your hands on a weapon that’s longer than the knife if you can’t run.
Good on this man. Also
Police are now investigating how and why Cauchi, who is from the state of Queensland, committed such violence.
Gee, five of the six people he killed were women, and his father said, “He wanted a girlfriend and he has no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain,” but it’s such a mystery, I guess we’ll never know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And he was a mentally ill schizophrenic…
So are millions of people who have never stabbed anyone.
And there are also millions of people who have never had a gf, who have never stabbed anyone.
