Like Mother, Like Son: Morningside #3's Mom's a Knife-Wielding Berserker, Too
[NYP] Like mother, like son?

The 14-year-old boy suspected of fatally stabbing Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors has a mother with a stabbing of her own on her rap sheet, The Post has learned.

Thirteen years ago, the suspect’s mother, identified by police sources and neighbors as Katima Minton, 35, was arrested in a knife attack in Jamaica, Queens, where she lived at the time.

It was 1:30 in the morning and Minton and a second woman had gotten into a screaming match at 148th Street and 87th Avenue, according to a story that ran in The Post on Aug. 6, 2006.

“Katima Minton pulled a knife and lunged at the victim, whose identity was withheld, after they started fighting,” cops alleged, ­according to the story.

#2 DeBlasio's anti-gun laws may be driving his criminals to bladed weapons like knives and machetes. This makes at least two prominent non-firearm attacks in the news this past week.

#4 Sucker-punching, too. Notice the response of the victim-cop's partner:

Haynes, who police said had been sitting on the sidewalk drinking and blocking pedestrians, briefly brawls with the officer before wrestling him to the pavement in a swift attack that sends a nearby trash can flying into the street...

Seconds later, the cop’s partner calls for backup, then begins yelling for Haynes to stop...
All right, sir. Stop, stop, stop, stop!”

Haynes continues to struggle with the officer on the ground, while the other cop grips the man’s jacket and attempts to convince him to move. “Mister, come on,” the cop pleads.

#5 Good thing that his victim reportedly fought back and bit him.

If so, the DNA evidence should be enough to nail the little savage and lock him away long enough to neuter him and prevent his family's knifing gene from passing on to another generation of ferals.

#6 lock him away long enough to neuter him
Probably only until he is 18.

#7 True. Or maybe community service. In Morningside Park, serving lemonade to the resident Feral Youth
