I want to build a boat suitable for cruising the Great Loop. If I ever can I want to make a spork themed silver service for her.

Not a machete. The knife is a Kukri. A Gurkha weapon.

[Rurudyne]

What a coincidence!

I wonder if they provided the weapon?

[sevlex]

That’s a Cold Steel Kukhri Machete.

I have one for yard work.

I read he was also known to the FBI and had been on their radar for several weeks prior to this incident.

The FBI's busy being butt boys for the democrat party elite...

“Knife control is needed”

Knife control is already in place. Go to your State Police website and look it up. A problem that also exists is knife control varies from County to County, City to City.

For example: certain knife tips, military style knives, lock blades, blade length, and several other variations could be outlawed where you live... if you’re caught with one on your person it could be an additional charged against you.

No fooling.

“Alleged”: a word that was not used for Rittenhouse prior to his acquittal nor ever for Trump.

The cops who were attacked were outside the security screening zone, Sewell said...
Known as the world to us non law enforcement types.

Was he wearing a hockey mask?

Charges were pending against Bickford Sunday morning. He remained hospitalized at Bellevue, cops said.

My understanding of protocol is that where a suspect is a deadly threat, the officer shoots to kill, since that is the only reliable way to neutralize the threat.

What happened?

[PghBaldy]

He is on the left. With the name and alleged link to islam, assumed a black from the UK or the Caribbean...

I thought the Plannedemic was the end of Islamic extremism.

“ The alleged Islamic extremist…”

He’s not an extremist, he’s a fundamentalist.

[riverrunner]

They have very strict knife control in New York city.

[riverrunner]

Minor injuries.

The attacker must not have know what he was doing or how to properly use one.

In the right hands they are very effective cutting and chopping tool.

The usual insanity plea is being warmed up.

[Nifster]

Because it’s such a peace loving and forgiving religion

Why would anyone convert just to be told you had to go jihad and offer your life to kill others?

[lee martell]

With the word ‘Bin’ being used, I’m guessing that’s somewhere in England. But then, why would someone toss away a functioning knife?

At first I thought it was a Porta-Potty, which uses the same bright blue color.
