I did not watch the video but are we going to act as if such murders do not happen in the US a lot and not just big cities but in general. The question about this incident is how much will it be used politically. Instead of this being an issue where someone who clearly has some mental issues and needed some serious help, all this seem to be doing is playing to the tune of people who want to use it for political gain. You would thing the political gain would be to recognize people who are at this violent point and seek to help them or get them off the street instead of playing to some BS about violent crime in Dems cities thus we need military assistance.

i think whats unique about this video is how random it was, how senseless it was, the fact that it happened right there in public, how the whole incident was captured on video, and how after it happened, everybody kind of just strut around aimlessly. 

its very crazy to think that you can just be in public like this and be assaulted in this way, for no apparent reason. 

You can be assaulted like this in public in many places.  I believe the only real difference here is that the majority are not captured on video.  This act of violence isn't unique within America.  Now someone just stabbing someone who they did not know just for the hell of it doesn't happen often but is that any difference from the many serial killers out there that just kill for whatever crazy motivation that takes them.  Its evident this guy was totally bonkers.
