You’re missing the entire point of government.
The goal of communism is control. It always has been. It always will be.

Because it is a system of governance designed by and used for controlling humans.
Government owned does NOT mean it is owned by the people. It simply means it’s owned by the people who control the government.
Food denial is a text book human rights violation, especially for the elderly and ddisabled. Might as well suggest they rip out his fingernails and just get it over with.
The actual, proper response here is to let him have the knife. Anyone healthy adult who can be killed in a knife fight with a 93 year old man deserves death. Anyone who uses violence to address a 93 year old man (with OR without a knife) also deserves death.
The only proper sentence that should be considered for these crimes is an immediate summary execution.
