July 27Jul 27 I didn't need another reason to never go to Walmart, but I'll go ahead and add this to the list.
July 27Jul 27 Maybe suicide should be encouraged for certain individuals. "Have you considered fucking off a tad and slitting your own throat and not involving innocent people into your confusion?" It would be a tricky public messaging campaign. "Maybe just kindly fuck off and stab yourself?" It would take awhile to get the wording right. I feel bad for wishing that guy would have shot him in the foot or the thigh. A little frustrating that the stabber was coherent enough to comply with the threat of a gun being pointed at him. So not a full on blackout rampage of psychotic spiral. What's the line between mental health issues and just being a deranged, vainglorious shithead who deserves a mob beating?

July 27Jul 27 Dude in purple couldn't be bothered to put down his cigar and kept approaching the line of fire. I'm glad they stopped this guy, truly, but nuance matters. Maybe your cigar should be prioritized behind the ability to use your other hand when approaching at guy with a knife. It's one thing to bring a knife to a gun fight, its another to get in the middle of one... with a cigar.

July 27Jul 27 I had been following this story for several hours yesterday. Can’t say I am surprised by the video of the perp.
July 27Jul 27 To be fair, I nearly stabbed someone at Safeway the other day when I saw that avocados were $3.99 each.

White Americans statistically commit suicide at higher rates than other races of Americans. These leaders want white people to have more kids, not off themselves in greater numbers. Would be a good underground psy ops social media campaign. Edited July 27Jul 27 by Hermanator
July 27Jul 27 FTR, early reporting said eleven people stabbed, with six victims in critical, and five in serious, condition.

July 28Jul 28 It's a weird one. Traverse City is an outlier in Northern Michigan. It's a resort town, probably one of the most picture-esque and desirable places to be in summertime in the State. The town and the immediate surrounding areas are progressive. Mayor Pete lives there. It is surrounded by poverty, hillbilly country with, um, polar opposite demographics and politics. Actually Walmart is kind of out of place for TC. Hope this dude just lost his mind and this wasn't ideological based.

July 28Jul 28 The guy had an extensive criminal background including mutilation of corpses. https://www.wxyz.com/news/local-news/investigations/traverse-city-stabbing-suspect-had-decades-long-mental-health-struggles-criminal-history Recidivism is one of those things that is absolutely radicalizing. A small amount of people account for an insane amount of overall crime. For example, in NYC just over 300 people accounted for 1/3 of shoplifting arrests (over 6000) in 2023. “Three strikes laws” have gotten a fairly bad rap but we could implement like an 8 strike law and achieve a similar effect of a drop in crime. I would absolutely vote for a ballot initiative to incarcerate each of those 300 people for life if I was a New Yorker. We should focus on rehab and release only for people with 1-2 offenses. Different prisons, different interventions, everything. Over five should mean you’re gone forever.

I live in a large city and take public transport most days, and it is one that has its fair share of “mental health” problems on the streets. One thing that is striking is how rarely the people suffering from mental health issues choose to harass healthy adult men.

I didn't say that the first time, but eyeroll at both of these posts. I live in Ann Arbor and haven't seen a confederate flag in years, except for a couple times when some yahoo with a lifted truck tries to make a point. And my ex-wife is black/kids mixed, it's something she/they or I would have noticed and talked about. Not but 3(?) in the 6 years I've lived here, and all of us are out and about quite a bit. Now, downriver, the Howell area, and West Michigan can be racist AF. Most of the state outside of that is pretty rural and "everyone leave me alone and stay away," which includes minorities, people from downstate, people from out of state, gubmint people, etc. I wouldn't categorize that as racist, just misanthropic. To label it as racist or the area as racist is just ignorant armchair quarterbacking (or basing on small sample size anecdote) from distance. Edited July 29Jul 29 by choripan
