OR: Knife attack nets 7 years.

His situational awareness (lack of) is what got him into trouble. Not much time had passed since his interaction with an obviously unreasonable and angry person. He should have positioned himself such that he could watch any entry/exit points until he was certain that person was gone.

As much as is possible...I always seat myself (or stand) where I can watch doorways and/or the largest area seating area in an establishment. You don't have be on red alert all the time....but you DO need to be able to see what is going on around you.

The victim was in condition white and not paying attention.

I thought the same. Especially when he knows he has just had a verbal confrontation with her. Seeing her come back in that door after leaving would have set my alarm bells ringing.

Been shot and stabbed, rather be shot again. Big difference in pain or maybe the stabbing was just worse?

Talk about out of your mind, this chick just ran up and slashed this guys throat. Whats bad is it only takes about a 1-1/2" blade to hit most every main artery in the body. Random attack it looked like, ban all knives immediately expecially big scary ones with razor sharp edges. Maybe if we ban them no one will get their throat slashed ever again?
