When are we going to get serious about knife control? How many more mass stabbings do we have to endure?

Someone with a gun could have stopped it cold with only ONE death, the assailant.

Has the stabber been identified as a “White Male” yet?

He will, just like the mall shooter that was identified within seconds as a “White Male” - until it turns out that he wasn’t. The narrative was already out and set - and will be in this case too.

It's currently unclear what led to the stabbings. No services were being held at the church at the time, according to police.

The SJPD said a number of 'unhoused' individuals had been brought inside the church in the hours prior 'get them out of the cold'.

Police didn't say whether any of the homeless individuals were involved.

They probably need to add a "Frisk & Washdown" service before admittance.

Get a permit. Train. Carry. Ferals of all sorts are on the loose and seemingly coddled by the “authorities”.

Good thing CA has all those "gun control" laws to keep people safe from injury or violent death... Hmmm... Er, wait...

It's almost like the evil and insane, bent on hurting their fellow man will find a way. It could be reasonably argued that taking away a person's ability to obtain the means to defend themselves is equally insane and evil. At least as morally reprehensible.

No surprised. My ex-church tried this too - they wanted to house homeless in an old church right next to my home - which is across the street from an elementary school and I had little children at the time.

Not a one could understand why I would object - of course most of them lived in the gated part of town so it wouldn’t affect them.

Turns out the property was sold to another church (Thank God) - and that is one of the main reasons it’s my ex-church now.

Baseball bats are also an issue involved in “random” attacks.

Is this the same San Jose city that has an Antifa mayor? The same San Jose city that directed Trump rally goers into a gauntlet of Antifa members in 2016?

The mayor and the Chief of Police are corrupt.

Bad headline. Not worshippers. Homeless shelter.

What’s wrong with domestic sources?

Grace Baptist Church
484 East San Fernando Street
San Jose, California 95112

The church is on the corner adjacent to the NE corner of San Jose State University (at East San Fernando Street and 10th Street). If you have attended SJSU, then you have probably walked past the church dozens of times. There are pizza parlors, fraternities and sororities within a block or two of the church.

https://www.graceinsanjose.org/

As of this moment, there is nothing on the church website about the attack.

SJSU is a beacon of socialism within San Jose. Background on SJSU student homeless activism from a year ago:

https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/10/02/san-jose-state-university-accused-of-not-doing-enough-for-homeless-students/

a 2020 SJMN article on a building conversion project

https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/01/24/sjsu-to-turn-state-owned-downtown-building-into-student-housing/

(mentioning a claim that about 13% of SJSU students are intermittently homeless).
