Lol, "stabbed with a weapon"; what else would it be?

Lol, "stabbed with a weapon"; what else would it be?

A tool. A knife is a tool like anything else. In this case its use was as a weapon. Had it been an ice pick or screwdriver, it still would have been "stabbed with a weapon" though.

That's my point. It could have been a pencil.

Stabbed with a tool or object.

A weapon is a tool but not all tools are weapons. Just because you can temporarily use a tool as a weapon does not redefine it.

"stranger had been aggressive toward a teenager.." who then left the scene and apparently wasn't contacted by police.

WTF, if I blasted some dude's ear off not because I was fearing for my life but because they were "acting aggressively" I'm pretty sure they'd come looking for me.

Well.... there's a number of appendages but that's sexual assault

The LEOs are probably looking, if they can - it didn't mention if there was vid footage.

If I was a witness, I would be tempted to not give much, if any, kind of identifying info on the victims.

Wouldn't that appendage still count as a "weapon"?

 

[CamoDeafie]

Depends on the DA and what the stabber identifies as

It does legally. Run a parade over and the car will be called a weapon.

A baseball bat is a tool. A box cutter is a tool. A chainsaw is a tool. They've all been redefined as weapons in various ways.

A baseball bat is a tool. A box cutter is a tool. A chainsaw is a tool. They've all been redefined as weapons in various ways.

And a silencer or receiver is a firearm. But that's the difference between the law and a semantic argument on the internet.

 

[eustace_stelio]

Good for the kid. I would've left the scene too as a kid fearing the creep might try something more desperate. But I probably would've called police as I fleed.
