Random knife attacks targeting women? Glad this guy stepped in. I hope they can piece together what caused the dead assailant to snap.

The Mayor : Callahan... I don't want any more trouble like you had last year in the Fillmore district. You understand? That's my policy.

Harry Callahan : Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard - that's my policy.

The Mayor : Intent? How'd you establish that?

Harry Callahan : When a naked man is chasing a woman through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.

The Mayor : I think he's got a point.

Mayor: “Drebin, I don’t want any more trouble like you had last year on the South Side. Understand? That’s my policy.”

Frank Drebin: “Yes. Well, when I see five weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That’s my policy.”

Mayor: “That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of “Julius Caesar”, you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones.”

Incel communities encourage and fantasize about attacking women.

These things were happening long before that term was coined.

Absolutely but there are online echo chambers of encouragement, it will only get worse

Yup. They just didn’t have a name yet. And since now they have eco chambers, I don’t expect the progress we all hoped for.

Exactly it’s only going to get worse as they get encouragement and praise
