Some artistic layouts, there. Interesting cultural view

Note that not all those laying out there were taken from "perps". Many of them were taken from "working joes" during random stop and frisk operations. As we all know, there's a million and one uses for a knife in your daily routine. A lot of folks here pack one in a backpack or lunch box or wherever. They stop and frisk you, it's no longer your property. On the other hand, a lot of the common types of cutting tools ARE used by perps, along with the various pieces of scrap steel filed/ground into shape. No one likes to get cut or poked so all they really need is a reasonable facsimile of an edged weapon and most folks will give them what they want upon request. Had one guy make such a request one time, accompanied by a fairly large blade in his hand by his side. Upon my polite reply of "No, I give money to no one. Have a good evening." he moved on down the street, not willing to push his luck against a self assured person. He made the right choice.
