In response to RENEWED CALLS FOR KNIFE CONTROLS IN WAKE OF DEADLY STABBINGS (9-7-13) I received the following comment:

The woman in North Hollywod was my neighbor. She had a 2 year old daughter. She was stabbed in her parents apartment in front of the whole family. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for using this victim's story, in a sarcastic way, to further your pro gun agenda. I'm a proud gun owner and NRA member, and scumbags like you, give us all a bad name.
Well, here is the truth as reported in the June 18 issue of the Los Angeles Times:
Christine Darlene Calderon, a 23-year-old black woman, was fatally stabbed Tuesday, June 18, in the 1400 block of North Highland Avenue in Hollywood, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.
As she walked down Hollywood’s Walk of Fame with a coworker just after 8 p.m., an amusing cardboard sign caught her eye. She pulled out her cellphone to snap a picture of men displaying signs asking for money with four-letter insults and a smiley face.
Moments later, according to law enforcement sources, one of the men demanded that she pay $1 for the photos. When she refused, police said, two of the men pinned Calderon’s coworker against a wall and a third man jumped on top of her, knocking her to the pavement.
When she got up to run away, blood was gushing from a stab wound in her midsection. She was taken to a hospital, where she died at 11:42 p.m., said Ed Winter, spokesman for the coroner’s office.
I seriously doubt the late Ms. Calderon was a neighbor of Anonymous and she most certainly was not stabbed to death “in front of the whole family.” And this Anonymous lying scumbag called me a scumbag.
