Yep, if some conscientious citizen had been armed ... who knows.
The victim was a Democrat political operative and would have been very upset to be saved by an armed citizen.
Fire extinguisher, book bag, old persons cane.....I jumped in shit at at the penitentiary unarmed. Just takes one to lead the way and stop it...
Sad that no one was armed. Perfect example of the need for law abiding people, competent with weapons, to be able to Conceal- Carry - these victims were on a train when this happened- "Using your cell phone to get help- is all you need to protect yourself"- as anti-gun liberals advise us- would not work in this situation (as it doesn't in the majority of these incidents) .
Provided you would even get to use your cell phone before the psycho starts stabbing you- to make that 911 call- The police do not have a Star Trek Transporter, and are not going to be able instantaneously materialize into the moving train car to stop the nut case.
Wish more people understood this simple fact.
