LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police arrested a suspect in the stabbings of three Los Angeles-area homeless people in recent weeks, a man they say goes by a name signed on "death warrants" found with the wounded victims.

Courtney Anthony Robinson, 38, called 911 Friday and said it was his face being distributed on flyers around the city, Commander Andrew Smith said Saturday. Officers found Robinson inside a fast food restaurant in Hollywood and took him into custody without incident.

He was charged with attempted murder and is being held on half-million dollars bail.

Police previously described him as a possibly homeless man from Santa Barbara who also goes by David Ben Keyes, a name written on notes left at all three stabbing scenes that the writer called "death warrants." Robinson admitted signing the notes, Smith said.

1. Knife control!

Ban knives!

6. We don't want to ban your precious knives

Just register them or have a 6 week waiting period with weekly visits to check your knife and evaluate your mental health.

2. stabbing people is a bad thing. In this case 3 people were stabbled,

none fatally. If this idiot had a gun what would the toll be? Impossible to know in this instance of course but the possibility of fatalities would have been several times higher. Ban knives? Knives have lots of uses besides violence. Handguns? Absolutely no purpose other than violence. Ban handguns? Damn right. Unless a person is a leo or in an unusual circumstance there is NO reason to carry a handgun. Gun nuts and their stupid excuses notwithstanding! Don't bother flaming me, I've heard all your nonsense and I will never be convinced.

3. Flame you? Why would I?

I never said a word about gun control one way or the other.

Why are you flaming me? And what nonsense have you heard me post?

4. sorryI really wasn't meaning to refer to you. I probably should have been more clear.

it's just that any advocation of gun controll leads to all the same old gun nut nonreasonging posts. I expected that my post would result in a number of these. Those were the fames I was referring to. I'm just mad about all the shootings lately.

5. No problem.

I understand people are upset about the recent tragic event and conflicts are erupting here over it.
