Because don’t all minor arguments end with someone trying the knife the other person?
(Sun Sentinel) — Two Occupy Orlando protesters got into a fight that involved a knife last weekend, an Orlando police report released Monday said. No one was arrested. The victim was “extremely uncooperative” and refused to provide any information about the incident, the police report said. Officers responded to the area of Senator Beth Johnson Park on South Ivanhoe Boulevard about 12:05 a.m. Sunday in response to a stabbing. Officers determined the argument between the two protesters was sparked by one of them playing a loud drum. When the argument escalated to a fistfight, the unnamed suspect pulled out a knife. That’s when the victim, identified by police as Taylor Dresia, 22, of Marietta, Ga., lunged toward the suspect and tried to grab the knife. Dresia suffered a series of cuts across the inside of his fingers on his left hand. The suspect fled the area, the report said. Occupy Orlando released a statement and said those involved in the altercation are not part of the movement. “Occupy Orlando remains dedicated to preserving a peaceful, non-violent movement dedicated to helping the 99 Percent,” the group’s statement said.
