In today's screwed up world, the elderly gentleman will probably be charged with assault and politicians will start trying to ban assault knives.

These crazy SOBs need to go away for their entire lives.

And no, let's not have people start blaming knife manufacturers and start trying to ban knives.

Or ban tape, the guy taped his knife handles for a better grip.

He should have clocked the thug.

The attacker will turn out to be a state employee who just found out he won't be getting his pension checks for awhile. Then his actions will be just fine with the media.

For a man of his years, I think he did one hell of a job.. .Thank you Mr. Vernon...

There should be a reasonable limit on the amount of tape that can be legally applied to knife handles.
