Whilst I'm not a biologist I have a pretty good idea of what kills people. And getting stabbed in the neck 5 times before I notice then 5 time before I could get to him is pretty dead to me.dayarath wrote:

"But passenger Garnet Caton said the victim was stabbed dozens of times by the man sitting next to him. The passenger then severed the man's head with a large knife."
He also gutted him.
He also gutted him.
well I guess the passengers noticed his stabbing long before he started on the head part then.jord wrote:

Well everyone else was unarmed. Now visulalise a narrow bus were numbers count for nothing. This is called the Sparta concept which I just invented.dayarath wrote:

A guy with a Knife in a bus where everyone else is unarmed could fuck up anyone that tried to stop him.
I always carry a swiss pocket knife, does that give me some more credibility?jord wrote:

on a more serious note, numbers always count. especially if you can jump him because (I suppose) he had his back turned to the rest of the people in the bus, he's quite bussy stabbing someone. What's he going to do with a rather large knife when someone is on top of him?

It would just turn into a struggle in which none of us could call. He could escape the grip and kill whoever was on him of the other guy could disarm him.dayarath wrote:

I always carry a small throwing knife in my sock too
when multipile people are on top of you with adrenaline pumped I don't think there's much of a chance he'll get loose and somehow manage to stab someone again with his weapon. Let alone that his weapon is still in his hands.jord wrote:

Besides, from the pictures, he doesn't really look strong. More like the standard maniac.
throwing knife in your sock :p? mine is just for the utilities!
comes in handy in every situation.

It's not to throw at people, it's just because it's small. About a 3 inch blade. I suck at throwing it.dayarath wrote:

Also I though we were talking about me as a person trying to help, not a group. How do ya know you won't run in there to the rescue and nobody else follows and leaves you 2 to your fate?
Well I have the idea that out of the 30+ people there's ATLEAST one person who's capable/willing of helping you. Nevertheless I would shout for some help if I got him.jord wrote:

One person does it, the rest follow suit. The problem is it's hard for someone to be the first one to jump in, especially in a tense situation. Basic sociology.
Well for that argument I'd factor in that 12.6% of people in the area in which it happened are French. So that does take the odds down a bit.dayarath wrote:

Actually in a good defensive position numbers can mean nothing. Ie the expected losses when attacking a well defended castle are in the region of 10 to 1.dayarath wrote:
