Vivre la difference

Consider this:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/Two-stabbed-to-death-at-Ikea-store-in-Sweden/articleshow/48425604.cms

If this took place in the US, the assailants would not have been using knives. One would be firing off with an AK 47 and the other with an Israeli Uzi.

Can you estimate the number of killings that would result.

Of course this blood rampage would go on, with total wild abandon, a.k.a unstoppingly, with the result as the wont in the US, there is time for the militarized police to come to kill these two. 

But with a knife, there isn't the condition to go on an unrestrained rampage. You have time to think whether you want to go on stabbing with no certainty of killing. Under these conditions you would probably not wait for the cops to come to shoot you to death. So you walk away. 

Amazingly, no one can identify you - are you white, black, yellow, light brown, dark brown, tan white and so forth.
