A woman was sitting in her car visiting the post office when 28-year-old Daniel Kuchta came up to her car carrying a pitchfork. He allegedly tried to stab her multiple times. At first, she used her purse as a shield to prevent him from hitting her legs. He purportedly stabbed the purse several times, but when he failed to deliver a brutal blow to her legs, he tried to stab her in her chest and neck.
The woman screamed, “Help, he’s trying to kill me!” A witness and construction workers chased the man and held him down until police arrived.
He has now been charged with second-degree assault.
Here is where this story is almost identical to a thousand others in the Puget Sound area
First of all, the alleged assailant told cops he had just done meth before the attack.
Second, he has an attempted murder charge in his history from when he was 17. That was in 2009 in Oregon. He was charged with two misdemeanor assaults and obstruction of a public servant in Tacoma earlier this year, but let out on his own recognizance. I’m sure it will come as a big surprise when I tell you that he didn’t show up for his court date later. He was arrested again in July, but his one-year sentence was suspended, and he was released from the Pierce County Jail on Aug. 1 — four days before the pitchfork attack.
They would much rather figure out the quickest and easiest way to release this guy, put him back on the streets, and then express their shock and disappointment when he kills someone the next time. Our mayor, city council, and prosecutor continue to let our streets get taken over by the drug vagrants in this revolving door of justice.

Meth use should be a death penalty offense.
Everyday occurrence in los angeles.
A picture of the pitchfork. Why no pic of the perp? It’s not as if they don’t have plenty on file.
Seattle, Portland. From Mayors/commissioners to the DA’s to the Judges, the entire system is a joke, and why property owners (who pay the bulk of taxes) don’t get rid of them is a head scratcher.
Upon his last release from jail the mayor personally offered him a ride to a gun store, Instead he made his way to a farmers supply.
This guy is never going to be anything but a danger to the public and the authorities will have their excuses ready when he finally kills someone. If that has to be then I hope he target a leftist.
In those areas, “I just did meth” is code for “You can’t prosecute me, society is to blame.”
Concealed carry.
Don’t leave home without it.
Hillary’s Voters are escaping hell & roaming the earth!
One gets what one votes for.
When You come to a Fork in the Road…Shoot it.
If she had been carrying, she should have shot him dead after the first damage to her purse. Dang it, those purses are expensive!
OK, just kidding about the purse, but not kidding about shooting him dead. You try to kill someone, you forfeit your life.
Second degree assault? Attempted Murder if he tried this on an elected elite.
Actually, that’s a garden fork; a pitchfork has long, narrow sharp tines.
Drugs or not, the youth of Today has some serious mental issues. Best to get your CC permit / training in order.
grayjohn, meth use ALREADY IS a death sentence; it just takes too long for the addicts to kill themselves.
But…but…your honor, I honestly thought she was a bale of a hay and I was daydreaming that I was a farmer who just wanted to feed his cows.
She should of shot him with her cat.
