the implication that work travel is legitimate is really stupid, that's the first thing that should go.

Man Not Charged in Stabbing of Person Removing Nazi Stickers posted:

Account of Stabbing

On Thursday April 25th around 10AM I was leaving the Goodwill on South Broadway when I saw Patriot Front stickers on the outside of the south side of the building on Archer St.

I was removing what I could, and for the ones that wouldn’t come off, I was covering them with antifascist stickers. A Goodwill employee, an older man about 6’1″ with a long white beard, who we later found out was named Santi Martinez, walked by and told me to stop, that it was vandalism. I said, “This isn’t vandalism. Besides, vandalism doesn’t hurt anyone. These are fascist stickers and fascism puts people in concentration camps!”

Martinez then moved closer to me and said, “Maybe some people deserve to be in concentration camps.” Then he leaned in closer towards me, putting his hands on my shoulders. He had about half a foot and 100 lbs on me. I hit him in the nose. He then pulled out a large folding knife, about 4-6 inches, from his pocket and opened it, so I started running while pulling pepper spray out of my pocket and spraying it at him.

He chased me down Archer St. towards Broadway and caught me and stabbed me 5 times within a few seconds against the South wall of the Goodwill building. I continued to spray him and managed to get away from him and run around the corner and North on Broadway towards the front entrance of the Goodwill.

I ran inside the Goodwill with him chasing me. I am gushing blood from my chest and abdomen and I could feel and see my intestines coming out of my body through my hoodie so I used one arm to cradle them while I ran. Once I got into the Goodwill I yelled, “This guy just stabbed me a bunch!” at an employee while running past the counter.

Martinez continued to chase me with the knife and yell at me inside the store while employees and customers looked on doing nothing. While running though the store I was looking for something on the shelves that I could defend myself with as I continued to spray him and try to keep a distance between us. He continued to chase me with the knife and yell at me while employees and customers stood by doing and saying nothing with the exception of an older male customer who commented, “I was maced once,” while continuing to do nothing and failing to acknowledge that I was being chased by a large man with a knife while literally spraying blood everywhere and holding my intestines.

Martinez finally stopped chasing me for unknown reasons, so I stopped and took off my backpack and opened it on a counter which was quickly getting covered in blood and pulled out my small first-aid kit. I opened the gauze I had and realized there wasn’t enough for all my wounds. Then, realizing I was going to pass out, I decided that it would be better to sit down instead of falling to the floor. I started to treat myself while the Goodwill employees ran around and yelled: “Get everybody out of the store!”

Then a woman came over to me and said she was a nurse and started asking employees for gloves so she could help and start treating me. The employees looked confused and didn’t know where to find a first-aid kit for the gloves and just stood there over the nurse and me. Eventually someone gave gloves to her and she began to apply pressure to my wounds. A manager was telling everyone to leave, including the nurse who was applying pressure to my wounds and attempting to save my life, however she ignored him and stayed with me.

Firefighters/EMTs arrived and took over, cutting off my clothes with trauma shears and continuing to apply pressure to the stab wounds. A cop took my backpack, wallet, phone and everything else I had and when I asked him why he was taking my stuff when I was the victim here, he just said, “Crime Scene.” and walked away with my belongings.

The EMTs put me on a stretcher and wheeled me out of the Goodwill while I asked them for my phone because I wanted to call my mom. They said they’d get it. They then loaded me up into an ambulance in front of the store while I again requested my phone. They said they’d get it for me but never did. I was taken to the hospital and unloaded from the ambulance. While being wheeled out of the ambulance and into the hospital by the EMTs a police officer decided to unnecessarily help them with unbuckling the safety belts on the stretcher and while doing so managed, whether intentionally or not, to recklessly toss the buckle which flew back and hit me in the face.

I said, “Please don’t hit me in the face with that buckle,” and the cop responded with, “That didn’t hit you in the face! You’re on a lot of drugs right now!” At this point I had not received any drugs and was still fully conscious and aware of what was going on. I responded by saying, “Yes it did hit me in the face,” to which the cop replied to in a louder and firmer tone, “No it didn’t! Shut up!” I was then taken into emergency surgery for the knife wounds to my heart, lungs and abdomen.

They had to cut completely through my sternum bone to get to my heart and lungs (my atrium was cut and both my lungs were collapsed) and I had lost 6 pints of blood. The nurses all told me that I could have easily died. I spent the next 8 days in the hospital with chest tubes for both my lungs and received over 70 staples in my torso. I am out now and beginning the healing process but it will be at least another 2 months before I am healed.

Long ago, power came from the tip of a sword, today it comes from the barrel of a gun.

I'm not kidding when I say that we're single digit years away from power coming from the tip of a wand.

When that day comes, make no excuses for the terror.
