Six Injured In Knife Attack At Jerusalem Gay Pride ParadeLink to Los Angeles Times articleBatsheva Sobelman wrote:
An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man attacked revelers taking part in Jerusalem’s annual gay pride parade on Thursday, stabbing and injuring six of them, police and witnesses said. Police identified the suspect as Yishai Schlissel, who carried out a similar attack on a gay pride parade in 2005 and was released from jail three weeks ago, local media reported. The suspect was subdued by an officer who pinned him to the ground.
Either Israel needs better screening of its violent parolees, a more secular government, or stronger knife-control laws.
