Slain University of Idaho Students Were Killed With ‘Edged Weapon,’ Cops Reveal

CDE :: Expanded Homicide Data (cloud.gov)

 

Could it be a sword? Could that be significant?

 

'Rifles' was cute, wasn't it. Let's blame a knife and ignore all the guns including rifles.

Meh.

 

"Cute"? It was precise, and 100% correct. Sorry you were ignorant of the fact that assault rifles are only used in a tiny fraction of homicides.

 

Oh sure. No way could it have mislead the average bear reading, and it was pointless anyway.

If anyone ever gets off their arze over there and does something about gun deaths, they will not be at all too much interested in what sort of 'gun' is involved.....or about knives. On the other hand, down here, it is much easier to get your hands on a rifle than a hand gun, and there are pretty severe restrictions on what sort of knife you can be caught with.

 

Re:

Don't your law abiding folks, "down here" realize what you're doing to yourselves when you're asking to be locked up simply for possessing the "wrong" sort of knife or firearm especially when you don't even know what type of knife or firearm is "illegal"?

Your violent criminals must be delighted to see so many disarmed sheep so eager to make themselves more easily mugged, raped, murdered and robbed.

Meanwhile, even the most casual student of history knows that a disarmed citizenry is just begging for incremental totalitarianism. Sure, you're not going to have another Stalin or Pol Pot assume control next year or even the year after but you're not doing your children or grand children any favors by eagerly surrendering your freedoms for the hope of more security.

Please think about the long term repercussions of what you're asking for.

Thanks,

 

This is appalling, it's like something from a horror film.

 

The more I read about this story, the more convinced I become that this was a crime of passion and the murderer was acting out in rage, because of the brutality of the murders. One thing that stands out to me is when you see photos of the 4 victims, the two blond girls Kaylee Goncalves & Madison Mogen seem to be always together without boyfriends, which makes me think they might have been in some sort of a relationship. Both girls are very pretty and I'm sure got a lot of attention from young college men and one of those men didn't handle rejection very well and slaughtered these girls and Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were unfortunate victims, but were not the target of this attack, they just tried to help. I'm no expert in crime solving, but I have a strong belief that the Police already have a pretty good idea what happened and it wasn't just a random crime, but someone who knew Kaylee Goncalves & Madison Mogen and had some kind of obsession with one of those two.

 

They've been ruled out:

 

for this to be true, they would have to have been first to die. However, the coroner said that she could not determine who was killed first and did not provide any details on how many stab wounds were there on each victim. You had two, a couple I believe, who went to a party, and two girls who went to a local bar. But it is probably that any one of them knew the person or was acquainted with the person, notwithstanding the guy in the hoodie.

 

That's it! An assault knife like an assault rifle! See, it's the NRA and the super duper MAGA's! I knew it!!!

 

SMH at all the speculation of who & why. The reality is we don't know sh!t, I think I'll wait til some legit info is made available. I'm reminded somewhat of Ted Bundy's rampage thru a Florida sorority once upon a time. 4 women attacked, 2 raped, 2 survivors all in the same night & nobody heard a thing.

 

Huh?

Link.

 

Nahhhhh, they toe the Gubmint line

 

There are far too many significant differences between the island / continent of Australia and the USA to compare the two not even including America's porous borders in the South and in the North.

I hope you'll read the whole following article and not just the excerpt I posted.

Thanks,




"The Mistake of Only Comparing US Murder Rates to "Developed" Countries"
https://mises.org/wire/mistake-only-...oped-countries

EXCERPT " Note, however, that these comparisons always employ a carefully selected list of countries, most of which are very unlike the United States. They are countries that were settled long ago by the dominant ethnic group, they are ethnically non-diverse today, they are frequently very small countries (such as Norway, with a population of 5 million) with very locally based democracies (again, unlike the US with an immense population and far fewer representatives in government per voter). Politically, historically, and demographically, the US has little in common with Europe or Japan.

The US has the highest murder rate in the "developed world" — presumably because of its lax guns laws —we are told again and again.

Few people who repeat this mantra have any standard in their heads of what exactly is the "developed" world. They just repeat the phrase because they have learned to do so." CONTINUED

 

The only 'unlike' of any significance (other than gun laws) between the USA and Australia is the border issue.

So, that means you have to demonstrate that the very huge difference between Australia and the USA on crime is BECAUSE of those porous borders.

You won't and so the next thing you will argue is you drive on the wrong side of the toad, or something equally silly.

 

If you were interested in murders in America, you would know how firearms compare to edged weapons in number of deaths.

BUT, you're just looking for an argument to sell the ignorant.

 

Liberals here can't shut up about banning assault weapons even though they're used in far fewer homicides than knives.

 

This is a facetious argument, as the principle fact today is that Republicans demand that NO city, town, other municipality or state may make any but the most trivial decisions on guns.

Republicans don't even allow for rational background checking.

No classes are required (such as there are many for law enforcement). There are almost no hardware modifications or limitations that aren't fully attacked by the gun lobbies and Republicans they own.

Etc., etc.

So, your big deal is to whine about one gun type - a type that is ridiculous for use against ANY target other than humans.

Then, you have the temerity to cut lose with your BS about blades.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/195325/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-weapon-used/

 

Knives = 1,035 murder victims
Rifles = 447 murder victims

What was BS?

 

be a lot more deaths\injured had the weapon of choice been an ar-15

 

mass killings by knife are rarer

 

There are also a lot more deaths/injured in America, because of Liberal Democrats soft on crimes policies, where they allow violent offenders and rapists back on the streets to continue with their violent crimes. Maybe if they'd keep these Monsters in Jail when they catch them, a lot of these senseless murders could be prevented.

 

yes, the right and the left are too soft on real crime, though the right sure does like their war on people relaxing to a joint after a hard days work - but think we are getting off topic

I am on the left, and I support longer sentences (lwop) for violent offenders, we all should, left or right (I also support ending the war on drugs)

 

Are the vastly more numerous knife deaths somehow less tragic because they're separated by time and / or distance?

ETA: also, a weird point to try to make while we're actually in a thread about a mass killing by knife.
