The 17-year-old was having a meal on the floor when she was attacked with a butcher knife Sunday. Officials say they aren’t yet ruling out hate crime charges.
A man accused of stabbing a transgender 17-year-old girl with a butcher knife at Miami International Airport on Sunday was arrested and charged with attempted murder, police said.
Alexander Love, 29, was charged with first-degree attempted murder with a deadly weapon and attempted premeditated murder, according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Officers responded to Terminal J around 11:30 p.m. after reports of a stabbing, officials said in a news release. The victim was eating a meal while sitting on the floor when, officials say, Love attacked her without provocation, stabbing her about 18 times in her face, head, arms, shoulders, neck and legs before he tried to throw her over a safety retaining glass, officials said.
the TSA is not “not perfect”; they’re a joke.
it’s pure theater. they have basically no ability to detect actual weapons at all, hence why it’s a common problem when passengers arrive abroad only to find out they accidentally carried loose ammunition across borders.
there’s a huge difference between “not quite perfect” and “completely and utterly useless waste of time, money, and resources”, the latter of which describes the TSA.
IF they actually did anything useful at all, then fine, you have a point. but they don’t, which is why people are disagreeing with you.
because in principle you’re right, that security is required and should be taken seriously…but the TSA isn’t actually providing security. they’re providing the appearance of security.
