Mac Attack
A man was stabbed in Melbourne last night after an argument in a city McDonalds’ store. He apparently argued with with 2 men over their places in the queue, and after being served they followed him outside and attacked him.
After the attack, the man walked across the road to Flinders St Station where he realised he had been stabbed. The man was treated by paramedics before he was taken to The Alfred hospital with stabs wound to the shoulder and chest. He is said to be in a stable condition.
A couple of things come to mind about this. First, the fact that they were actually queuing to eat McDonalds probably says they have a good chance to mount an insanity defence. Second, what sort of dickhead carries a knife around, and then what sort of fucknuckle thinks it is appropriate to stab someone over anything, but particularly over something so trivial. Serious anger management issues these dickheads obviously have – I had to wait an extra minute in the Maccas line – kill, kill, kill the bastard responsible.
I have a very simple view of people with knives in public – 2 years minimum just for carrying one, and 10 years flagfall if they are stupid enough to use it.

The law is a complete ass and not adequate.
Carrying knives is one matter, but how do they carry around samurai swords?
I wonder if they should have a product line in self defence weapons. A Big Mac and and Big Knife please.
this is one of the most ridiculous reasons (excuses?) I’ve heard for an attack/stabbing.
while i have to disagree with the carrying law (because it could too easily apply to utility pocket knives, which by design are still excellent for stabbing), i do question the sanity of people who pull knives on each other for any trivial thing.
the only reason i’d ever pull a knife is if i were accosted by multiple people. each time you pull it, it’s a liability. back in her idiotic days, my sister in law wanted to carry one. i told her don’t carry a knife unless you’re prepared to get stabbed, and that i bet i could take it off her. because she was ready for my attempt, she snatched her hand away early – but poked herself in the chin with it. the knife never left the house, a lesson learned i think.
if i get into an altercation with a single person that i can’t talk my way out of (always the first priority – being “right” isn’t as important as being safe!), and they pull a knife on me there’s a pretty good chance i can just take theirs, no need to pull mine out and make it all dramatic.
i used to live in melbourne, and i can’t understand the fixation people have with eating that garbage food called mcdonalds. there’s clearly not something right in the heads of the population if mcdonalds is worth stabbing over.
