In my defense, I just learned about the religious Sihk knife and another group of imports scamming medicaid in Columbus, Ohio. No telling what's out there.
If you actually check, the typical Sikh "knife" or "Kirpan" couldn't slice butter.
Most are made of weak stainless steel, and would snap if you tried to use it. It is kept sheathed and worn under clothing, not displayed openly.
They are ceremonial and religious, not functional. It is one of the "Five Ks" and symbolizes a spiritual commitment to defending the weak and fighting against injustice.
The sharpness of a kirpan varies depending on the wearer. Traditionally, it's intended to be a sharp blade, but sharpness and function isn't a requirement for the religious object. Often people carry unsharpened blades for safety and legal compliance.
In many countries, modern kirpans worn in public are dull or blunt to comply with weapon laws and security regulations, such as those in schools or on airplanes.
There is an exemption in the UK for religious carrying of a kirpan knife. A person is allowed to carry the knife, but NOT to use it. Taking the kirpan out of it's sheath to threaten someone or to use it even in self defense makes it no longer a religious item. The UK law doesn't say "sharpened" or "dull" or "blunted"... it simply says that the knife must stay in the sheath and displayed only as a religious item.
Maybe they need to change that law to specify dull or blunted only, and then define "dull". Dull = can't cut a piece of paper. Blunted = butter knife like rounded end.
Allah Snackbar anyone....
Smorgasbord of possibilities. Pretty certain he is not white though or we would have his name, his picture and voting record...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that smorgasbord is 3 perps max.
And Amish isn't one of them...

Mamdani called it a "horrific stabbing" so its probably not a muzzie, my money is on a dindu.
Or one of those Sikh dudes who are allowed to carry their fancy curved knives anywhere at any time. Religious freedoms.

Interesting info.
One of these was used to murder a man in the UK last week. So some are definitely a threat.

Sounds perfect. They carry blunt rounded knives. I carry a handgun with round nose bullets.
I’m good with that. Only fair.
Citizen had the individual listed as a "Mentally disturbed individual"
Mentally disturbed my ass.
That is the term they use for muslims. Every single time they do something it is always mentally disturbed.
Just more reason everyone needs to carry protection.
