Supermarket decides to stop selling knives after knife attack

As we continue to take in population from the most violent war-torn parts of the world, apparently more and more it becomes unpractical to allow the general people in society weapons or anything that might be dangerous.

This is yet another example of how mass immigration is going to do severe harm to the future of gun rights (as well as a cornucopia of other civil liberties).

A New Zealand supermarket chain removed knives and scissors from their shelves after an ISIS supporter stabbed 6 people in one of their stores

"Last night, we made the decision to temporarily remove all knives and scissors from our shelves while we consider whether we should continue to sell them," New Zealand supermarket chain Countdown's general manager for safety said in a statement.

Police shot and killed a man who stabbed six people in the Countdown supermarket in Auckland in what authorities described as a terrorist attack by an ISIS supporter, who had originally come from the country of Sri Lanka.

An official said the suspect got the knife from within the store.​

Ikea stores did the same thing in Sweden after there was a similar stabbing attack there.

So it is no longer safe for stores to even sell knives, because one of the deranged customers might grab it and start attacking other people in the store.

You can just imagine the implication for gun rights. If knives are considered "too dangerous", obviously guns are a definite no-no.

The type of population we have in society will determine what rights can be accorded to people.

 

religious fanatics are dangerous, they always want a theocracy and to punish those that do not believe as they do

don't let Christians or Muslims in unless they can say they support same gender marriage.... that should filter them out

 

Anybody can be radicalized. It has nothing to do with him being an immigrant but nice way to keep the hate and suspicion going.

I'm actually shocked that you didn't say the people deserved it. That's your usual "go to" when people have been wronged and seek remedy through the courts.

He must have some kick-@ss reflexes if he could stab 6 people while the police were monitoring him.

 

That's hysterical on so many levels. You know why!

 

Ech... I don't get how someone with a knife can stab several people in one instance. This wasn't a day care or a nursing home... these were physically abled adults that were stabbed one after another by a single person, correct? Did any of them grab of knife of their own? Yes, I'm 'victim blaming' here. If you lay down motionless and let a coyote gnaw your leg off, are you really a victim? At a certain point, isn't one obligated to fight back?

 

Incidents like this happen very quickly, people are shocked, panic or simply don't put together what is happening, especially if they don't have a clear view. It's nothing like as clear and simple as you would like to imagine. I speak from first hand experience so I still hope you never get to find out (just!).

 

Not when they've been brain scrubbed from birth that the "authorities" are the only ones that are allowed to "protect" them....defend themselves, why that's unheard of....and WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!

 

Some Americans appear to live in a fantasy land of cops and robbers.

 

What is this world coming to. We can't have people using common sense. I sure hope they don't start killing folks with garlic mincers. That would be one hell of a clean up on aisle 4.

 

Lol...well...where on earth would someone find something sharp to stab people with now?!

You know the messaging here by doing this is suggesting that this isn't a one off? Like they do know this ya?

 

Yes, it's amazing how easy it has become since the advent of social media. 20-30% of the population is highly susceptible to this.

To the OP: the removal is a TEMPORARY measure.

 

It's kind of weird that you made that comment considering the whole world just witnessed a COUNTRY laying down and not fighting back after twenty years of our help.

Beyond that, most people can't respond in a crisis. Only those of us with some kind of experience or training can process it quick enough to take immediate action.

I was in a store in New Orleans one time and a little girl (about 4-5 years old) was standing near me. As I turned to walked away, I heard a very quiet sound that sounded like metal rubbing on metal. Instantly, I understood, ran back to the girl and grabbed her and ran toward the woman (who wasn't paying attention) she was with. Seconds later, the whole shelving unit collapsed and there was broken glass everywhere. That girl would have been seriously injured. I felt weird about grabbing somebody's kid but the woman was so thankful that she didn't scold me.

I'm just an average person but I've always been very observant. I don't think many people would recognized that sound if they had never heard it before. As a consultant, I worked in all kinds of industries, and luckily, one of them was hiring and training men to build sets in hardware stores. That's the ONLY reason I could recognize that sound and knew to get that girl as far away as I could.

 

It's just like in this video of a stabbing a couple years ago. Out of the group the man was approaching, one of the guys didn't run. He got stabbed. A lot. The guy doing the stabbing goes off to find more people to stab. There's some people who freeze, those are the ones that get it the most.

 

Meat tenderizing mallets: the choice of discriminating plotters the world over. Don't terrorize, Tenderize!

 

Worth noting the attack was stopped by... wait for it... good guy with a ________ (fill in the blank).

 

yep, Gun's don't kill people, people with Gun's kill people

and yep, God's don't kill people, people with God's kill people

 

People with guns, ball bats, knives, piano strings, motor vehicles, clock radios..

I think you're trying to state that some religious extremists kill in the name of their chosen diety. I see nothing to disagree with there.

 

That's a pretty fanatical statement.

Atheism and irreligious certainly has its share of murder and mass murder. Ever hear of Columbine? In oklahoma two atheist boys killed their mom dad and several young siblings in a horrific knifing attack. The potential for true evil is strong when a spiritual vacuum exists.

 

Yes, which is why so many of us are stunned and confused by America's willingness to lie down and take COVID up the ###.

 

Agreed. Im not sure which got more Americans begging for shackles- covid or 9/11. But between the two of em, we've given up everything except our guns. Which at least theres that I guess...

 

Too many do, then there are others who stand ready to defend themselves and those around them, many are sheep, others are lions.

 

One afternoon as I was exiting my doctors office a lady who was behind me asked me to hold the door which I would have done anyway, she was with another older lady and she had a toddler sitting on her hip, just as soon as she got out the door a child about 4 or so shot out the door and ran across the parking lot straight for Cowboy Lane, a 3 land roadway with a 45MPH limit which is the least anyone drives at.

The lady his mom was screaming at him to stop, he just kept on running, I took off across the parking lot and just short of the roadway I was able to grab the back of his shirt, someone on the rad saw him and hit the brakes hard making a loud skidding sound, between being grabbed and the tires squalling the child was scared out of his wits and was sereaming and crying, the guy driving the car pulled over, ran toward me to make sure the child was ok as I was handing him over to mom.

I do hope that sunk into his young head as the skids marks stooped beyond where he would have entered the road.

I really wasn't sure how mom was going to take it as I sort of manhandled him and his shirt was tor, but his shirt was the only thing that was close enough to me to get a good hold on, mom actually thanked me for grabbing him, I apologized for tearing up his shirt but I was told don't worry about it "I saved his life."

The driver of the car tht hit the brakes also thanked me for stopping the child, he surely didn't want to run him over.

 

Thanks for sharing that, Well Bonded. It made me smile. I, too, am thankful you were there and fast at responding. It can happen so fast. A few seconds make all the difference!

All the best to you for being one of the good ones.

 

A while back we had a rather brutal stabbing at the Sawgrass Mills mal, somehow her ex-boyfriend found out she was going to the mall se he went there to find her, he did and stabbed her, he child and her new boyfriend to death, he also nailed an unarmed security guard before bugging out, later he was found back in the hood by Sunrise and the BSO.

As a result of that stabbing IKEA in a different mall removed all of the knives they had from the shelves and placed them into a locked cabinet.

Never mind the fact the stabber brought his own knife with him.

That was 2 years ago and the guy still hasn't been to court yet, go figure.

 

Your metaphor needs work. Lions eat sheep.
