It's New York. She will get charged for carrying an illegal weapon (the knife). That is the Democratic way. If this had been any decent place she would have shot the fuckers point blank and been given a citation by the police for doing her civic duty.
Do you guys ever get tired of being pessimists?
People commit horrible crime they must be getting off easy!
Someone defends themselves, they'll be charged.
As far as I know the only place that has considered laws against carrying knives was the UK (I'll dig for the ancient source if you insist).
Any proof that New York has any kind of knife laws she could be charged under or is this just a guess?
