A knife is much easier than a gun in many situations. We need to encourage knives where appropriate - meaning almost everywhere. Even in the People’s Republic of Maryland, a folding pocket knife is by definition “not a weapon”. I (almost) always carry a pocket knife, and when I use it to open a package (so it will have glue residue of many kinds on it, indicating that it was a tool), I can draw it from my pocket, open it, and grip it with a useful grip in a single motion requiring less than a second.

I wish the victim had cut that predator’s throat, but I’m glad she was able to do as much as she did. I hope they follow through on deporting him, or perhaps that an ordinary decent criminal will solve the problem for his country.
