Another hatchet attack is being investigation by Tucson Police Department officers.
According to the Tucson Police Department, 42-year-old Frank Rick Lopez attacked two people with a hatchet after they tried to intervene when Lopez was trying to steal a woman’s cell phone.
The “good Samaritans” were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital.
The attack occurred at a bus stop in the area of Sabino Canyon and Tanque Verde Roads on Monday, May 12.
In April, a similar hatchet attack left one man dead.
Jacob Couch, a 32-year-old Alabama father of two, died from injuries he sustained during a brazen broad-daylight attack that left him “almost decapitated” at a Tucson bus stop as he waited with his wife on April 5th.
While Couch and his wife Kristen awaited their bus they were approached by 25-year-old Daniel Michael who confronted them. Couch tragically succumbed to his injuries after spending almost two weeks on life support.
Michael now faces charges for First Degree Murder.
Lopez is facing multiple charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault causing serious injury. He is being held on a $1 million bond.
By all means, arm and protect yourselves and your loved ones. But don’t put anyone at risk over a goddarn cell phone — give it up, and call a cop.
Remember that liberal, woke Tucson and Pima County politicos want to take away everyone’s means of defending themselves from these vicious attacks. You get what you vote for. The people of southern Arizona should wake up before they’re sacrificed on the altar of wokeness.
Waaaay too late for the dirty T. They get the government that they deserve and this is a model of government most of the rest of AZ will have before its all over from the transplants moving in and bringing their liberas BS with them.
This is a Constitutional Carry and Stand Your Ground State. Whatever the circumstances in public, you can’t blame infringement for your lack of preparation. The wife says I’m paranoid because I carry when out and about; I’m not paranoid, I just accept that bad things happen to people who are just minding their own business because illiberal politicians leave us to the mercy of lunatics (by design? Aaaah, paranoid AND conspiracy theorist, I guess.)
Stay alert, stay alive.
yes concealed carry is a RIGHT so folks weapons can be had some at very reasonable prices. No you dont have to shoot to kill but you need to know how to. Various gun shops offer range and training times but this will only apply to those who are not woke as they think the weapon will shoot them! Also AWARENESS of your surroundings is mandated with or without a self defense weapon. If all else is not what you want small canisters of sprays are also available and they only incapacitate (supposedly). Use your rights for defense of yourself or others.
Seriously Arizona, STOP FUNDING TUCSON. …”They hate your guts, steal & squander your money, plan & plot your demise, have totally failed to contribute (more water, more tech, border trade, educated/capable workforce) to the state. Build a physical bypass around it, and let the urban anaerobic bacteria do their work, for the giant septic tank it is.”
Judge Roy Bean would handle these perps swiftly and rightly.
is this the begging and beginning of the full scale armament of ‘the average Joe’ in Tucson – sure looks like it to me. Hatchet jobs and scum bags on the street need a quick and rapid response – the ‘drug – nut’ i’ll take what i want when I want it to get my drug.. or i’ll kill you?! Has to be slowed with – a bullet between the eyes of those hatchet people? If the police and gov’t won’t take care of it… it leaves the citizen “no alternative”? Arm up ! Take the city back! Its not going to get any better… from here on out. I consider this a sad time in the city.
It’s like something out of ‘Road Warrior’!
