Miu, of Prior Lake, Minnesota, stabbed five people on the river in Wisconsin on July 30, 2022. A 17-year-old boy, Isaac Schuman, died in the stabbing and four others were injured. The victims ranged in age from 17 to 24 and were from Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The prosecution aims to prove that Miu, 54, was the aggressor. Miu's legal team is arguing he stabbed the five people in self-defense.

Miu is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in Schuman's death, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the stabbings of Ryhley Mattison, A.J. Martin, Dante Carlson and Tony Carlson. He pleaded not guilty to all charges in September 2022.

I once faced a similar situation in a quiet neighborhood in Europe. Five teens approached me. They were harassing me and went on to assault me. However, I knew I would be the loser if I acted aggressively because I had many things to lose, but these kids had nothing to lose. I reluctantly swallowed the insult and ran away.
It was what a professional would do in such a situation. However, I would have acted overwhelmingly aggressively if it had been in Pakistan instead. The lesson is that we must know the time and place before deciding our reactions. I am a trained professional, and it can not be expected from every human being.
