Police arrested the man believed to be responsible for multiple machete attacks, one of which was fatal, in downtown Los Angeles early Sunday morning.

The L.A. Police Department confirmed to KTLA that the first call came in at 12:17 a.m., reporting a gruesome machete attack near 11th Street and South Grand Avenue.

Officers arrived to find a man, likely in his 60s, suffering from stab wounds that appeared to have been inflicted by a machete strike.

Paramedics took the unidentified man to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Said California is the place you ought to be, so they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly....hills that is....swimming pools, movie stars and men with machetes. .......I don't think so.

Time for UK-style machete control legislation. LA citizens will be providing IDs to order knives on Amazon soon.

[No name given]

So far, there’s no description of the perpetrator.

[Beowulf9]

“The suspect’s identity was not released”

Of course not. Goes against the leftist policies doing ‘good’ propaganda.

“The suspect’s identity was not released”

So we already know: black, Hispanic, or Muslim.

If the suspect were white, it would be in the lead paragraph.

Was it a Semiautomatic Assault Machete???

I’m glad I got to see California in the early 70’s in all it’s glory before it went to hell...................

CCW bad. Machete good.

Liberal States, people who SHOULD be in asylums walking the streets...

The Coulter Rule.

I’m sure banning guns will prevent actions like this.

Gotta love press writers. It was two attacks, not a "double machete" attack. At no point were two machetes involved.

One perpetrator.
One machete.
Two attacks.

Lilly Dallow, the writer, needs to go back to her alma mater, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, for remedial writing courses. The staff at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo should be questioning who they're conferring bachelor's degrees of science in Journalism to.

Lily may also want to reconsider her side hobby of "crafting screenplays and creative stories".

But in the Rookie, the perp will be an old white guy and the rest of the episode will be how the rest of the squad is cleaning up a bunch of white guys committing other crime followed on by some supervillains who have a thing for John Nolan, the only good, straight white guy

That part of town is a violent jungle, as are large swaths of Los Angeles - 3rd world, trash-ridden, filthy, violent and decayed.

No reason to go down there. Ever. When I had to drive through, I made sure my car was in good shape, tires OK, and all doors and windows locked.

Absolutely horrible until I could get on the freeway.

stab wounds that appeared to have been inflicted by a machete strike

Machetes aren't very good for stabbing.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Reportress was Lily Dallow. "appeared to have been inflicted by a machete strike."

Hartleym Maybe the descriptive words "Slash" and "Hack".were just "Too icky" for her article. (No mention of the Illegal who did this or his or her name.)

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Or maybe, like so many journalists, she calls any blade longer that six inches a machete.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

longer than

[bgill]

I’m going to guess the suspect is swarthy.
