Common sense (oh, no - not that) asserts that a reasonably prudent person would know the difference between a dangerous "dagger-like" implement and a butter knife.

The media is nutso, but they're not nutso towards the tame.

Sure, they said butter knife... they had WANTED to say machete / dagger / dirk / shiv so bad it hurt... but all they had was butter knife.

It was probably a butter knife.

McCarthyism at its greatest.
