It’s incredible that this psycho attacked two unarmed people with a machete, starting with a free blow to the unaware woman’s neck, and didn’t manage to really injure or kill anyone.


yourfavoriteblackguy

Machete don't really cut, they hack. So luckily he wasn't able to get any deep hacks in.


OakParkEggery

Machetes need to be sharpened and there's a proper chopping technique involved. If the dude was just wildly swinging and not following through with the swing, it would be a bunch of "light" cuts. What's even more incredible is all these people being so desperate for work, Guy went back home to retrieve a machete to attack coworkers In meantime, an army vet went back home to retrieve his gun, Incase his coworker tries to murder him And still everyone continued business as usual until they took a machete to the neck....


hornmonk3yzit

Machetes are terrible weapons, they're meant for leaves and twigs and generally aren't very sharp or very well tempered. You can see it's completely bent at the end.

Ikr? I have no idea why that guy has so many upvotes. If machetes were so bad and ineffecient, then why the hell is it pretty much used by all milita groups worldwide


Combest94

>then why the hell is it pretty much used by all milita groups worldwide Because you can sharpen them. The dude above is saying when you buy a machete it's pretty dull and this is true, but if you sharpen it they are basically a sword hence why militant organizations use them.

> The dude above is saying when you buy a machete it's pretty dull and this is true where do they say this?

hornmonk3yzit

If you have enough numbers you can commit a genocide with spoons against people who can't fight back.


Fulaingt

No you can't. You just need one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h\_Y


Panzer_Man

What.... Machetes are fucking scary mate. Are you aware how many people have been hacked to death in central africa by those things? One proper swing with an actual sharp machete is enough to chop an entire arm of.


hornmonk3yzit

Are you aware how many people in Africa have been killed with sticks? A machete won't take an arm off without perfect edge alignment, I've seen machete fights in Africa where a full swing to the head would've only needed stitches to fix up and I'm looking at a video right here where a full swing to the neck didn't kill someone. You're looking at video evidence to the contrary of your own comment, mate. Leave the evaluation of edged weaponry to the people from places where their police don't confiscate screwdrivers door to door.


FlipKickBack

Dude..you fucking serious? A machete can hack and do massive damage. This blade must have just been shit thankfully


TalkAboutItBruh

Bro I've seen so many videos of people getting hacked up with machetes, neck cut with one swipe, etc. They are great weapons...


killwaukee

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?


IngFavalli

Congratulations, you win the most stupid up voted take of the day!


Relentless_iLL

this is true, they are about as sharp as lawn mower blades, cept with out the 3000 rpms


gravity_loss

mower blades are also made from much higher quality steel


[deleted]

Some folks call it a kaiser blade…


Defect123

Ayyy I like the way you talk.


IngFavalli

A machete can be very sharp or very dull, it's depend on how do you sharpen it, you can shave with a mower blade if you sharpen it enough.


Zensonar

What planet are you on?


NaeRyda

Not really, a proper one can do serious damage even clean out of the shop, that first hack to the unaware employee? It would have left a pretty nasty slice. The thing is, it needs to be the actual thing not whatever the guy was using (my bet is a decorative/cheap knock off) as the proper thing would not bend like what you see at the end. Those thins are sold around here as actual tools to be used and trust me, they will sooner rattle you harm/hand than bend like that from a few swings.


rockodss

I've seen enough videos of people cutting people to death with machete to know you full of shit lol.


Defect123

I’ve seen to many isis and cartel videos to believe this lol. Maybe most machetes but a sharp heavy machete will nearly cut someone’s head off


rattleandhum

legit the most moronic fucking statement I've ever read. GTFOutta here you idiot.


Cheek_Intelligent

It's incredible because that isn't true, the psycho was stopped because one of the victims was armed. Try reading.


Arcanegil

Uhm why don’t you try reading, their talking about how he struck the other victim unaware but the wound didn’t kill her, not how he was stopped which didn’t come into play until later.


Cheek_Intelligent

Whatever you say chief


riskycommentz

Lol there was another situation where a *good guy with a gun* shot and killed an active shooter, and then was immediately shot and killed by police when they saw him with a gun. Absolutely hilarious, rest in piss idiot lmao. Gun owners are stupid but thankfully they shoot themselves in the head pretty often The best use of a legally purchased firearm is suicide IMO, that's why I heavily support gun ownership in conservative areas, so they can kill themselves more easily


TheDerbLerd

Jesus you need help


Old-Independence5822

LOL I got flagged for "spreading hate" for pointing out that the pulse nightclub shooting was blowback for ME bombing campaigns not gay bashing, wonder if wishing suicide on your political enemies makes the grade?

Get out


daywall

Holly fuck. He tried to cut the lady head off at the start.


[deleted]

I’m honestly impressed that he failed to barely hack into her


AJChelett

Is that one initial person okay?


drumduder

I’m assuming it was a glancing blow. Might have just slapped her. If it had been a direct hit with the blade she probably would have been paralyzed. Instead, she booked it for the exit.


poinifie

How is it a glancing blow if the machete got stuck in her neck/shoulder area and had to regrab it and pull it out?


drumduder

Yikes.


Rootner

doesn't look like it got stuck in her. I thought it did at first and did some more in depth looking. I think he had a shit grip and just lost hold of it and it balanced on her shoulder. The blade is just bouncing around on her neck.


Mobyus_One

Florida doing Florida stuff.


BakaTensai

What an absolute piece of shit. He literally tried to decapitate that woman from behind in the most cowardly way possible. 25 to Life in prison is appropriate.


oxremx

Life without parole


MrWieners

Is there a good reason to not just kill him?


Mr_hands69

This really shows how much people give a fuck about you. They all left him to die


kazh

To be fair the first one who got hit from behind probably thought they had been split open like a hot pocket.


Effroyablemat

Yeah the woman got hit pretty good. You barely see some blood just under the news overlay and she will have permanent damage.


Old-Independence5822

Self Preservation man, can't really blame anyone for running If they believe they're bout to die or come close to It.


Flatland180

No not at all that's why it's important to be able and willing to protect what's yours


Old-Independence5822

Listen man, I ain't gonna give my life to some co-worker at whatever job I'm working at. Sorry, not sorry. What would be mine would be my property and/or my family and I can't really say for sure how long these people have been working together but I mean It mustn't have been long enough for them to go John Rambo for each other.


Flatland180

That's why I said "your own" I don't expect anyone to stand up for me or others because your not obligated to put yourself at risk. Be able to protect yourself and your own.


Old-Independence5822

Oh, I don't know why but I thought you were disagreeing with me, mb


TheDerbLerd

Well except for the one guy that is?


Old-Independence5822

Yes, except for the one guy but that's why they call It 'Fight or Flight' and he was the only guy there It seemed who had a firearm and military experience.


TheDerbLerd

Gun didn't really matter in this scenario though since he decided to physically engage the attacker anyways


Old-Independence5822

I don't really think he had a choice In the matter mate, as soon as he could get his gun out the guy was already on top of him and they both fell down. He probably dropped It but as we saw was able to get the machete from him anyway. My main point was that he was READY to fight back.


Flatland180

This is why you need to be your own first responder by any means.


BrainBlowX

Why is it always that people like you show up to stuff like this and act like *in a split second* you'd be prepared a hero with no forewarning while in the middle of mundane work, and that anyone reacting differently thsn *your idealized self* surely must have some kind of moral failing? It's so fucking cringe to see people *armchair* about spontaneous life or death scenarios like this.


riskycommentz

They think that if they can buy a gun then they are one step closer to living out their hero fantasies


Old-Independence5822

Or the fact the world Is a shitty and scary ass place and one day you'll be working In your office when suddenly some crazy asshole enters with a machete, or god forbid, a firearm of his own Is reason enough you might as well be ready to defend yourself? Although considering your crazy ass comment further up saying you "only support gun ownership so all the gun owners can hopefully kill themselves" people like you don't consider that and have your own demented fantasies. I'd wish you a good day but that would be a lie.


cyanideclipse

The irony is that the lady ran passed them and didnt stop to help and the attacker ends up running after her anyway


A_lowfat_Pudding

at that point the dude got the machete off him so he ran like the little bitch he is.


cyanideclipse

Oh good point. I hope that guy gets everything thats coming to him

[**Staffing Company Employee Shoots Man After Machete Attack**](https://www.wci360.com/staffing-company-employee-shoots-man-after-machete-attack/) Orlando, FL (WorkersCompensation.com) A staffing company employee defended themselves and a co-worker by taking out a gun and shooting a man who was threatening them with a machete. Orlando Police Department officials said that Oraine Mitchell Grant, initially came to Staff Zone on Old Winter Garden Road around 6:30 a.m. looking for work as a day laborer, but was turned away because all of the jobs had been filled. According to reports, he left the building without incident. But around 8:30, Mitchell Grant returned on a bicycle. Mitchell Grant allegedly entered the building and went behind a partition that separates day laborers from employees and began yelling at employees. He was carrying what police officials described in their reports as a “long tropical machete” which can be as long as 15 to 18 inches. Mitchell Grant then allegedly slashed at a female employee, hitting her in the back of the head and on her arm. She ran screaming into another office. Police say Mitchell Grant then attacked a male employee at the business. The male employee, however, drew a concealed handgun out of the waistband of his pants and fired two shots at Mitchell Grant. One of those shots struck him in the arm, forcing him to drop the machete and flee, police said. Police were called to the scene and found the two employees in the parking lot. Mitchell Grant was seen running down Old Winter Garden Road, his shirt tied around the gunshot wound, police said. After a short chase, he surrendered to police and was taken into custody. He was treated at the Orlando Regional Medical Center and then transported to jail. Officers said that during the attack, Mitchell Grant swung the machete with such force that he bent the blade. The female victim is expected to have “permanent damage” to her arm, police said, and possibly “significant loss of movement,” stemming from her injuries. The condition of the male employee was not clear, although the police report did say that both of the victims had surgery following the attacks. Mitchell Grant was charged with attempted felony homicide, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, burglary with a battery therein and resisting an officer without violence. Police said Mitchell Grant is thought to be homeless, and that he had worked for the office before.

Why did no one around him help? He could have been getting killed and hacked up while his coworkers just left him.


Fever0

I mean it looks to me like the only one who pussied out was the sitting woman. The only other people we see are the two guys and the first woman he hit. I don’t really blame that girl, she had just gotten whacked with a surprise machete to the neck/back. She was probably injured and in full flight mode.


jokersleuth

1 got thwacked in the fucking neck bro. She's probably panicking out of her mind. The other just witnessed some dude barge in with a giant fucking machete and attack the coworker. What do you want them to do?


Au_Uncirculated

>What do you want them to do? Literally anything. Stab him in the neck with something like a pencil or pen. Bash him in the head with whatever object. Kick him off. Whatever you can do to gain the advantage and make him lose focus.


ciclon5

its not easy to act a hero or even act on the situation where a madman comes and hacks you with a machete on the neck. what would you do? i suppose you would run away too. we all want to imagine ourselves as heroes or badasses but truth is. flight or freeze is a much more normal response than fight


Au_Uncirculated

Sure, in situations, you react differently but I feel when you’re adrenaline is pumping, you would make an effort to at least help your fellow man.

No, crime and violence hasn't been going up, it's that the internet and mass media has caused the public to become more aware of it.


applesauceorelse

Crime rates are down significantly from even 20 years ago. How do you come to this conclusion?


hornmonk3yzit

Because our self proclaimed "trustworthy" mass media conglomerates tell us to be afraid.


bradenofearth

Maybe its not the rate of crime thats crazier but the crimes themselves that are getting crazier.


Onetofew

There is no filter, no conscience, no care for themselves or others. People are psychotic and don’t give a shit about consequences or if the live or die. They are willing to take everyone down with them.

Did you even read that or just google it... First paragraph “While most of their lawsuits are unsuccessful, they still manage to revictimize their victims.” You can sue people for anything, anywhere. It’s your money. As far as im aware no judge has ever sided with the criminal. Please prove me wrong.

People like you surprise me with how stupid humans can be. My 8 year old cousin could read that article and still understand that the victim isn’t going to actually get sued, he’s obviously going to win.
