GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (KABC) -- A suspect is in custody after a violent rampage involving a series of deadly stabbings and robberies through Orange County Wednesday, police say.

The violence left four people dead and two badly wounded. There were at least three armed robberies committed, as well, police say.

The stabbings appeared to have no obvious motive other than, in some instances, armed robbery. The suspect was described as "pure evil" and "full of anger."

The Garden Grove Police Department said it started when the suspect, a 33-year-old Garden Grove resident, robbed a bakery on Chapman Avenue in Garden Grove and took cash at knifepoint.

Pretty wild. This just seems really random with no real end game. Dude just drove around robbing and hacking people with 'machete-like' knives

Of course nothing will be done about banning all the butter knives in the country. Racists!

Does the method matter? London now has a higher murder rate than NYC.

I believe the underlying causes are being ignored, just as they are here.

.

That linked article was over a year old. Might have since put controls in place that reduced the murder rate.

And if he had a gun it would have been dozens.
All the people who jumped here gleefully conveniently overlooked that part.

Ironically enough, he did have a gun. At the end. He stabbed a security guard and took his gun. Then he surrendered. See, guns save lives. :rolleyes

Those statistics were sensationalized for a point in time to promote hysteria and advocate for more control over people in London. NYC had a more severe per capita murder rate by the end of the year, although not significantly so if I recall correctly.
