Maybe if we weren’t busy creating victims someone might have tackled the kid and ended it a lot sooner.

When I was in school back in the 80s some idiot tried stabbing a girl in the hallway. In the space of about 3 seconds he slashed her arm and raised the knife over his head to stab her and had a half dozen students on top of him on the ground.

“...Maybe if we weren’t busy creating victims...”

No “we” about it. All you can do is teach YOUR kids (as I taught mine) to fight back, always. I understand your point, but it’s not “we” - it’s liberal/progressive PC crap, foisted by liberal/progressives.

And yes, when I was in HS back in the 70s, if something like this had occurred in my old school, that kid would have been on the bottom of a dog pile of any junior and senior varsity football players within arm’s length, and he probably would not have walked away from it.

Different times, with different people, friend.

I graduated from HS in '72. During my sophomore, my parents bought me a beautiful Buck knife for Christmas. I wore it on my hip to school everyday, along with at least a dozen other classmates.

There were never any incidents on our campus. We knew we'd be in big trouble if those knives were ever unsheathed (in malice).
