Two stabbed by robbery victim
A group of would-be robbers apparently messed with the wrong man.
Spokane police responded to North Regal Street and East Wabash Avenue about 3 p.m. Thursday for the report of a stabbing.
The victim, described as an older man, was walking home on Market Street when a group of younger males walked toward him. He crossed the street to avoid them, police said. The men followed him across the street, demanded money, and started beating him when he said he had none.
The victim was on the ground being severely beaten when he used a knife to defend himself, police said.
He stabbed Devron Parrish, 23, in the abdomen. Patrick McKenzie, 25, was cut on the leg and required stitches. Both were taken to a local hospital. Police said Parrish’s wounds required surgery. The victim may have suffered facial fractures and a laceration on his left hand.
McKenzie was booked into Spokane County Jail. A 16-year-old also was booked into juvenile detention, police said, and there is an additional 16-year-old suspect who has not been arrested.The case will be forwarded to the Gang Enforcement Team for follow-up.

Its too bad he was not armed with a handgun, now we will have to pay for the medical bills. I love when this happens, more people should take responsability for their personal safety.

I have to say that this was my Christmas ‘feel good story’. The only thing that would make it even better is if the miserable little scumbag didn’t survive surgery.

What is the best way to shop for a mortgage refinance? It is a good idea to contact at least three to five lenders for input on mortgage programs and rates. Also search online for “123 Mortgage Refinance” they found me 3.32% refinance rate really fast.
