Best name of a witness to a mall stabbing, ever. (or: "Happiness Is a Wam Gun.")

Irina Slutsky. Sorry Rus/Ukraine-philes, but it's good one.

Apparently, she was doing her part for the economy a few years back at the more up-scale indoor mall, near to where I grew up, when a knife wielding black woman started stabbing rich (presumed) white women. Can anyone say relative deprivation? I suggest we deal with the increasing wealth asymmetry before no white woman is safe to stroll the climate-controlled halls of capitalism.

Don't remember how I found this, but the story was posted on a pro-gun discussion board. Like with any violent attack that makes headlines, NRA folks feel the need remind us that if only helpless Ms. Slutsky had been packing, at least some of the carnage would've been avoided. Poor Irina, she'll never be able to lie awake at night with the warm, cozy feeling that she killed (or maybe just wounded) a, most likely, mentally disturbed individual. Damn you MD liberals!
