In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Several People Stabbed By Machete-Wielding Suspect During Monsey Chanukah Event [View all]wnylib

at possible solutions. We can't eliminate hatred, but what can we do to protect people from attacks like this?
Is there any way to intimidate the hate mongers from acting? Do we have to post guards at all religious and social functions these days?
Does an individual carry out attacks like this on his own? Is he part of a hate group?
I am so EFFIN sick of hearing about these kinds of attacks on people.

Did the suspect have a legitimate need to possess a machete? Was it purchased legally?
