Store security guard stabbed 27 times after asking sisters to wear masks

Surprised I didn't see this on ATS so thought I would post it to keep everyone up to speed about the craziness in America...

Two sisters were charged with first-degree attempted murder on Tuesday after they allegedly stabbed a security guard 27 times after he asked the women to wear a mask and use the store-provided hand sanitizer, police say.

A Chicago Police Department spokesperson told NBC News that Jessica Hill, 21, and her sister, Jayla, 18, initially got into a verbal altercation with a guard at a shoe store in Chicago after they refused to wear a mask. The late Sunday afternoon incident turned physical when one of the sisters allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the guard multiple times in the back, neck, and arms, police say.

Chicago police said the 32-year-old victim was hospitalized at Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, while the sisters were arrested and treated at a nearby hospital for minor injuries.

It appears that these mask requirements are getting people a little... testy.

Why no 24/7 news coverage on this, the latest attack on police or security by obvious science-denying Trump supporters?

Oh wait...

I think I need to go loot a Wal-Mart somewhere in protest.

Like what happened yesterday in Philadelphia.

Although I noticed that the MSM didn't really touch on this either, besides a 4 paragraph writeup by Yahoo...

Linky

It almost seems like our news is being filtered somehow to make the average American citizen think a certain way...

I get the annoyance over masks and hand sanatizerizing, but that seems a tad bit excessive to me.

Those two should be required to wear a mask at all times.
For their safety of course.

Even ideological force begets an equal amount of reactionary physical force. I think the defiance & fighting back is going to skyrocket through November.

Welcome to your new bed, folks. Humans are not your pet dog, "sit, stay, obey" doesn't go over well.

Totally is, but let's be realistic -- who the hell didn't see these altercations coming half an AU away?

If the security guard defended himself, he would be in jail. Sometimes you need to let people stick it to you to keep from going to jail. Look what happened when a cop shot a black guy who had a knife pulled on them. Riot, plundering, and burning all over. A knife is a dangerous weapon, it can be more deadly than a gun if the person using it knows what they are doing.

Hannibal style?

And was he really stabbed 27 times? Or was it like 5 stabs and 22 slashes? C'mon media, accuracy!

Seriously though, this is despicable. I'm annoyed by the whole mask thing, and for all we know the conversation escalated to other things, but nothing warrants this. This is disgusting.

"A tad bit excessive" is quite an understatement.

But I liked it.

Another quote...

Despite his wounds, the security guard was able to keep the sisters in the store until the police arrived. He was taken to the hospital to have his wounds treated but didn't require surgery. The sisters claim that they were acting in self-defense. Yet, the entire interaction was captured by the store's surveillance camera. This, along with the gruesome nature of the attack, prevented the sisters from being granted bail.

"It’s the complete randomness of this. It’s terrifying," Judge Mary Marubio said after stating that the women will be held on attempted murder charges. Marubio also said that although the attack wasn't premeditated, the "sheer number" of stab wounds is concerning and compared the incident to a violent outburst during a domestic dispute.

So you see, it was just self-defense.

Now they will also have to wear leg irons-chains besides forced to wear masks in lockup. Plus women's state prison after their trial. They earned a negative sum gain with this. Very sad.

I was taught that a knife at close range is MUCH more dangerous than a handgun.

But what would I know...

To be realistic, I am surprised we don't hear about hundreds of fights breaking out daily by now. We are supposed to be having a province wide mask mandate everywhere in public. In reality though, the only places I have been to enforcing that are the liquor store, and post office. Because they have no choice in the matter, government owned and all.

I tried swinging a very sharp knife at a rabbit I had shot when I was hunting when I was a teenager. It sliced through the flesh like butter, I was surprised as hell. A swinging motion works best. I cut the tip of my thumb off one time showing someone how sharp the knife was, it was so fast, I only knew it was gone because I saw a piece fly up in the air. Had to go to the doctors for that one, no fooling around showing off a knife for me in my old age, I was only sixty when I did that, just a young buck. I am sixty five now, I gained intelligence from cutting off part of my thumb.

Nah, I just thought they were ugly.

People talk about "don't bring a knife to a gun fight."

It all depends on distance to target though.

If I have a knife, you have a gun and I am within 2 feet of you, I guarantee that unless you are John Wick I have about a 90% chance of winning that battle.

It is a lot harder to block a knife then it is to block a handgun.

A knife doesn't run out of bullets.

The closer I am to you, the more you bleed.

But I am derailing my own thread.

That seems like a reasonable response to this.

Forget the masks, get them muzzles.

Low lifers..

People are fighting the authoritarian state.

It's known as the 21 foot rule taught to police

here is a quick video demo as well

Kind of makes you wonder why some have the expectation of "just shoot suspect in the leg" still goes around

Another fake news headline!

Stabbed 27 times and didn't need surgery for any of them.

Since they didn't mention stitches, I wonder how few of them he had.

This story is just banal to my way of thinking.
