Slow Learners Get Stabbed

Priceless:

• A homeless man stabbed two men who were harassing him on a downtown CTA 'L" platform early this morning, according to a Chicago police source.

  The two men suffered minor wounds.

  The incident happened about 2 a.m. on the Red Line's Jackson platform on the 300 block of South State Street, police said.

  One of the men, who was stabbed in the arm, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital as a precaution. The other man suffered a finger wound and was treated on the scene.
  
  A police source said that the two men had harassed several people on the platform before turning their attention to a homeless man, who warned the pair to leave him alone.

  When they refused, the man stabbed them and fled the scene, the source said.

  He had not been located as of 3:30 a.m., police said.

  No charges are expected against the stabbing victims.

Why not? Oh right, "no complainant, no crime." Plus they won't interfere with the supposed 78% total drop in crime. We bet they stop hassling people in the El platforms for a little while at least. They'd stop forever if someone planted them six feet under.

Don't look to hard for this guy. Maybe get him a couple of bucks for his troubles.
