Not sure if you saw this. Pretty interesting article, thought you’d enjoy it.

Erique, this is a fantastic article. The author did with video footage what I did with interviews 20 years ago and he came to a similar conclusion, that people tend to attack with a retracted or hidden weapon, using the empty hand as the bridge to the target, which is exactly what prison knifers have been doing forever. His findings show an increased aggression over mine, indicating that society is continuing its spiral into prison-like behavior.

I’d be tempted to call this an update to The Logic of Steel. Anyone seriously interested in the subject of increasingly common and more lethal knife attacks in urban environments should access this research.

Give the author my compliments and thanks for the link.
