Stabbing Downtown

Just after 9 PM tonight a 22 yr old male was walking downtown
after withdrawing money from a bank. He was approached by a
male and two females who begged for money. He gave them some
money and left. He walked a short distance and was attacked
by these three people, one of which stabbed the victim twice
in the back.

The victim chased the culprits for several blocks ;until he
lost them around 12 Ave and 1 St SE.

He then returned to the scene of the assault in the 100 block
of 7 Ave SE.

A short time ;later police picked up a suspect at 12 Ave and
1 St SW and are questioning another suspect.

The victim is in serious condition in hospital. The injuries
are no considered life threatening.


That's what I call stabbing the back that feeds you. Would they have not stabbed him if he hadn't given them money? It seems backwards to me.

But the victim, now there's one tough s.o.b. Who chases a group of three people after being stabbed? I bet if they had been pit bulls, he would have pulled out his pocket knife and killed them just like Symington.

Dear robbers,
Stab and rob the guys that don't give you money. Give safe passage to the guys who do give you money. But maybe I've seen too many episodes of the Sopranos and I think that the protection racket is a good racket to be in.
