Here is the same event covered in WorldNet Daily:
It mentions a 2-1/4” pocket knife and a box cutter.
Now this is Chicago. Remember ComDem Insane Turf. Home of Obozo and Rahm Emanuel.
2-1/4” is exactly the size of the lockback pocket knife I carry. I have had something like that in my pocket since I was 7 or 8 years old. Always carried it to school after I got my first pocket knife. Thought absolutely nothing of it. And feel as naked without it as I do my keys or my billfold.
This is NUTS.
I said wait I have one I pulled out my 4 inch cold steel Voyager flip it open one handed cut the bands closed it one handed and put it back in my pocket all in about 3 seconds.
I looked at him and said whats a man with out a knife. Took my items and went and checked out.
