Man stabbed in Lasalle
A man was stabbed in Lasalle Wednesday night, but his life is not in danger.
Once again, I will note this city’s good fortune in being the kind of place where a single non-fatal stabbing is the only police story in a cycle.

I completely agree and I really appreciate Montreal’s near miraculous murder rate. However, since the cops aren’t busy tracking murderers and carjackers and bank robbers, why can’t they do something about the daily stabbings? That story going around of some dude stabbing strangers in LaFontaine park is especially concerning.
You would think that after such an event that we may see some cops actually walking around in LaFontaine. No such luck. You can walk the streets of this city for days without seeing a cop outside of a car.

We don’t have daily stabbing in Montreal. Even if we had a single stabbing every day (which we don’t), we’d still be doing much better than most cities of similar size in North America.

Bill Binns, I appended this story as an update in the original post, but maybe I should’ve made a separate post about it: three days after the story about the guy stabbing people in the park, there was an arrest.
As for the stabbings, there’s a limit to what authorities can do. Knives are everywhere, and there’s not enough crime here to justify having metal detectors all over the place.
