A courageous cyclist was stabbed to death by a crazed man at a San Francisco train stop after he stepped in to protect a mother and her kids who were being harassed.
Colden Kimber, 28, was fatally jabbed in the neck with a six-inch blade on July 26 while waiting at a Muni stop in the Ingleside neighborhood with his girlfriend.
The couple had gone on a date before making their way to the stop around 4.15pm, which was surrounded by children and families, when Sean Collins, 29, walked up. As they waited, Kimber decided to bravely get in between Collins and a woman with her children.

Sad outcome, but unarmed folks are always at risk from the armed, violent ones. RIP, brave sir, a valiant attempt.
I've read of cyclists using a bike as a shield when attacked by a mountain lion. Might have worked if he had the bike.
Cold steel has put literally tens of millions of men in their graves, so never underestimate the danger of a blade.

Would an Irishman visiting from Ireland named Sean Collins do that?

The perps should seriously consider moving to Cincinnati. The mayor, police chief, city council members, civic leaders, etc would be holding pressers demanding the victims be arrested, tried and imprisoned.

Knifers are very quick and give no warning. The boy who was knifed at the track meet in Texas could tell you about it - but his neck wound was also fatal. This perp got the hero from behind.
You just can't shoot a person for yelling at a woman - and if he pulled a weapon after you pointed yours at him, guess who's defending himself against whom?

It's time for all of us to get behind knife control legislation.

That brave, brave young man. What a tragedy. Bless his memory and his loved ones. Another horrifying example of why we need to get the mentally ill off the streets.

Very tragic and senseless. I don't know if there are more innocent bystanders being killed or not but there have been quite a few in the past week alone. The gunman in New York killed 4. A married couple in Arkansas were stabbed to death on a popular hiking trail, a crazy guy near Memphis killed 4 family members, and a guy in Montana walked into a bar and killed 4.
I suspect a combination of psychological problems and meds are part of what's going on.

Apparently the knifer is not the only one crazy out there. One of the comments says that Schwarzenegger letting in’MAGA’ types is causing this . While Gov. Gavin is fixing this, Trumps dumping on him only makes it worse! Did you get that??

I have to admit that a knife attack scares me as much (or more) than a gun. Neither is desirable, but I'd rather be shot than knifed.

They have video of the attack, video of the perp..ONE story has a blurry pic of "The suspect who was dressed in al black"...it appears his skin is as well.(unless he is wearing black gloves and a black mask...Not gonna jump to conclusions until the media, and the Just US system eventually "Informs me"

The guy had good intentions, he just wasn’t what he thought he was…that being, acutely aware. He obviously wasn’t prepared to react to real violence. Thankfully for the family, he used himself as a human shield. Life is not a movie, it’s not enough to posture yourself, if you put yourself ‘in play’, you need to have a plan. The man did act though and that’s more than too many these days. He died a hero.

I'd say 'always carry' but this is Kaliforniastan and they would rather stuff you in a body bag instead of the perp you shot...

Terribly sad. Getting involved in public squabbles is very dangerous. Police consider domestic situations to be among the riskiest to deal with. Concerning knives, there is no magazine limit, as with pistols. A demented stabber could use one knife to stab fifty people, or to stab one person fifty times. No limit to the potential injury. San Francisco long ago decided to accept crazy criminals in their midst instead of locking them up. As the old 'Eighties song went: "This is what you want; this is what you get. This what you want; this is what you get. This is what you want; this is what you get ...." Ad infinitum.
