"It feels completely like an ordinary hooded top."

So go for the face and neck, hands and family jewels. Hush

is it just slash resistant?

how about STAB resistant?

two completely different fabric failure mechanisms.

why don't they just legalize firearms for those people... that's the best protection against knives I can think of at the moment...

yeah they should ban violence. They should put up "No Violence" signs in public places where they don't want any violence. Then they will be safe.

That will never work. You have to force it upon the populace. I say, when a person is born, even before they get circumcized, they should be lobotomized. They should just take out the whole Medula Oblongata. That'll fix 'em!

This will be on the list of prohibited clothing in all the schools next year...We can't have our children protecting themselves.

Remember the guy that created a balistic pad to put in the rear of your childs back pack so your kid could have something to hide against during a school shooting...IMMEDIATELY all schools banned them.

I don't remember that, but I'm not surprised.

Do you have a link? That sounds like a story I'd like to read about.

Your right. The real problem is choice. Removing the ability to think for our self would gratefully reduce crime. If we can not chose to commit crime then crime can not happen. Effectively removing would be criminals is as simple as a frontal lobe lobotomy.

But I can't find any new reports about banning them in the schools, but I do rememeber watching it on TV where the superintendants were calling to ban them.

I laughed at "maybe". I never go halfway with my sarcasm, when somebody does it catches me off guard.
