Note that I'm not necessarily opposed to her facing consequences for killing him -- my issue is with how gleefully NYPost is framing it as if she just attacked him out of the blue and shoehorning her into the "evil transgenders" stereotype

Did he attack her though? Seems from the articles I read that she spat on him first. That's the attack.

It also seems she was arrested 5 times prior for knife crimes.

Im fairly positive there is no self defense claim for stabbings in NY as there aren't in many places.

There's a reason they tell you NOT to use a knife in a self defense scenario. It is nearly impossible to defend especially if you kill the attacker.

I think you statistically have a better chance of getting away with "executioner style" shots with a gun than knife use in self defense.

Knives are tools not weapons.

A knife fight cuts everyone. That's why it's a shit weapon.

Not if you study the blade. Like me.

I'm sorry your joke didn't land, I, for one, snorted air out my nostrils quite handily.

Not everyone on the internet understands sarcasm unless you put a "/s" unfortunately.

Hey, clear handwritten correspondence used to be a thing, so the jokes were easy to see. Now everyone is just saying whatever, so it's hard to tell

Also, there are real people who say that, so....
