Police respond to deadly stabbing spree at popular beach destination

I grieve because violent egotists or even terrorists will use knives, vehicles, corrosive substances and anything else when denied legal (or easy illegal) access to ballistic weaponry.

Western countries live in a more combative time now.

Our public spaces, events and holidays are often targeted by aggressive, even homicidal, people than in tamer times.

This mass casualty event happened at a beach destination, which presupposes attendees likely not having anything on their persons for self defense, especially in bathing suits.

Less lethal options here like pepper spray, pepper gel, bear spray or non firearms projectile devices like the Byrna are often illegal to citizens in disarmament mandating countries.

Leaving people defenseless doesn't create Safety, it co-signs tragedy
EVENT SECURITY PROFESSIONAL. ADVOCATE.
