The only sanity in this whole scene; She arrived on the scene first and was alone when she engaged with the attacker. She shot the offender when he raised a knife at her.
“She discharged her firearm, and that person is now deceased,” Cooke said.
Now are there any further questions as to why it is many Americans will not give up their guns?
They banned guns. Clearly the solution is to ban all knives. Cut your steak with a plastic knife. There’s no reason anyone needs a knife made out of metal.
Why is it silly? If people are constantly talking about restricting gun ownership, and finally succeed, what is different about doing the same with knives if they’re being used for the same reason you restricted gun ownership?
It’s not “silly” when countries like the UK are already starting down the knife-banning path, complete with confiscations. Progressives across the globe are increasingly frowning against self-defense of any type.
Mission (boop the baddy)
Enemy (How many, how armed, etc.)
Terrain and Weather (cover and concealment provided by an escalator is nice)
Troops and Support (Any backup? What can I weaponize?)
Time (Can it be accomplished in the window of opportunity that you have?)
Civilian Considerations (Will people die because of you?)
I say it takes less than 5 seconds to perceive most of that list without even having to use words in thought.
