Mass Stabbing On Melvin- Police Use of Force Legitimized

On March 8th around 10 pm  a psychopath (or psychopaths) made his (or their) way into a building located on Melvin Avenue in Hamilton Ontario.  The suspect/s was just opening random doors to apartments and stabbing people.  A total of four individuals got stabbed.  An old lady and her son got stabbed in the neck.  Here is raw footage from one of the crime scenes minutes after the stabbing.  The Hamilton Police responded extremely quickly.

Updated info: the madman also stabbed a husband in the neck, his wife in her hand and their dog on first floor

As of right now it is unclear how many perpetrator stabbers there were.  There was a stand off with the madman stabber at a pizza shop at a location near the crime scenes.  Eye witnesses reported that madman was shot with rubber bullets and tazered.   Later there were reports of ‘another individual carrying what appeared to be a knife through the hallways’, one resident told me she saw him while peeping through her peephole. There are reports of the second individual being seen in the back of a police vehicle, although it has not been 100% verified that two individuals were arrested. The witness might’ve saw the primary suspect and thought it was someone else .

These events are scenarios where deadly force is absolutely necessary. This stabber (or these stabbers) were literally sociopathic  or psychopathic. They malevolently broke into random peoples homes and  attempted to kill all of them.  Although I am extremely impressed with the response time of these courageous officers, it came as a shock that they shot this out of control madman with only rubber bullets when clearly this man had no care for life and would’ve stabbed anyone of any age that came near him.

It blows my mind that deadly force was used in the cases such Andreas Chinnery who allegedly only had a bat and was not hurting anyone, Steve Mesic who allegedly only had a small tiny rectangular garden shovel, Phonesay Chantachak for simply fleeing in a vehicle from out of uniform officers and countless others. For whatever reason the Hamilton Police chose to spare the life of the madman stabber.

These are the types of events that spark large debates amongst Canadians about the human right to own firearms for the purposes of self defense with deadly force.

 HAMILTON SPECTATOR BELOW

A suspect is in custody, subdued according to witnesses by jolts from a police Taser, after a multiple stabbing Saturday night at a highrise in the city’s east end.

Four people were stabbed, two suffering serious injuries, in the incident that occurred just before 10 p.m. at 221 Melvin Avenue, near Parkdale.

The province’s Special Investigations Unit has been called in.

Police received “numerous” 9-1-1 calls at about 9:50 p.m. and officers arrived on scene to find the four victims, who needed immediate assistance.

As police were helping them, a man was identified from a distance as the person who was involved in the altercation, Staff Sergeant Mike Webber said.

He fled on foot and police officers gave chase.

Webber said as a result of the police contact with the suspect, the SIU was alerted.

EMS platoon commander Jim Summers said a 60-year-old woman was stabbed in the neck and a 37-year-old man was stabbed in the neck and head. Both were taken to Hamilton General Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Two more patients were taken to St. Joe’s with minor lacerations to their hands.

The fifth person, believed to be the suspect, was taken to hospital with a broken ankle.

Webber said he is receiving medical treatment.

Misty Crouse, who lives across the street, said the stabbing started inside the highrise on the 12th floor. She saw three people taken out on a stretcher.

She said the suspect came out if the building and climbed up the balcony of a pizza shop next door.

“He jumped off of the balcony and they Tasered him three times. He had a knife, it looked like a hunting knife,” Crouse said.

She said the man was obviously “out of it, but they kept shooting him with the Tasers.”

“He was just sitting there with the knife, he kept wiping it on his pants.”

Webber would not comment on whether a Taser was used.

A forensics unit was on scene and the Special Investigation Unit, which investigates whenever a civilian is injured or killed in interactions with police, arrived around midnight. The SIU has four investigators and two forensic officers on site. Lead investigator Dean Seymour said early Sunday morning that their probe will focus on the area of the pizza shop where the police interaction occurred, not the apartment building.

Melvin Avenue is closed at Parkdale Avenue while police continue the investigation.
