A 73-year-old Detroit man is behind bars for allegedly attacking a 7-year-old girl with a knife in a city park full of children, slashing her throat in an incident that ended with the child racing home to her mother for help, and the suspect in handcuffs.
“He just like came out of nowhere and just like (pulled) the knife on me,” the girl told Fox 2 News as she sat on a porch step this week with gauze around her neck, explaining how a day at the park with her grandmother turned into a day of horror.
Indeed, and there’s no need for excusatory language like “what else could they possibly have done?”
I think you misunderstood. They were literally asking what people in those circumstances can do. I don’t think they’re justifying the actions.
Nobody is saying it’s acceptable just that it’s avoidable, and someone can be apprehended for security and later treated and found not criminally responsible for their actions.
