A woman who was brutally stabbed multiple times while sitting in her car at a Sonic Drive-In is now speaking out about the terrifying, unprovoked attack that nearly cost her life.
Linda Hollrah told KFOR-TV that she had pulled into a Sonic Drive-In on NE 23rd Street in Oklahoma City last month to pick up her food when the violence erupted without warning.
“Before I knew it, he just came straight up to my car, said no words to me, and just attacked me,” Hollrah said. “He just kept stabbing and stabbing.”
According to the report, the attacker reached through her open car window and stabbed her repeatedly. Blood was left splattered inside her vehicle and across the parking lot as Hollrah fought to survive.

“It’s hard to even piece together what my brain was doing, except just trying to fight for my life,” she said.
Hollrah suffered extensive injuries. She said she was stabbed once in the kneecap, three times in her forearm, multiple times in her thighs, and once in her upper abdomen — a wound that nicked her liver and caused internal bleeding that required emergency surgery.
“I remember thinking over and over, ‘Why did this happen to me?’” Hollrah said. “And nobody can answer that.”
Investigators told KFOR that Sonic employees informed police the restaurant’s surveillance cameras were not working at the time of the attack. Instead, authorities are relying on footage from a nearby traffic camera that reportedly captured the suspect before and after the stabbing.
So far, no arrests have been made. Police are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
Hollrah has been unable to work during her recovery and says the financial toll has added another layer of stress to an already traumatic ordeal.
“It’s stressful thinking about the mountain of debt this is going to leave me in,” she said, noting that some of the medical care she needs may not be fully covered by insurance.
Her sister has since launched a GoFundMe to help cover medical bills and recovery expenses. As of Friday afternoon, more than $14,500 had been raised toward a $24,000 goal.
“For a hard-working single mother, asking for help isn’t easy,” the fundraiser states. “Any support means more than you know as Linda and our family try to move forward from this senseless act of violence.”
These “random” attacks really aren’t. They follow a pattern we all can see. We are at war, but most people are too afraid to admit it.
Exactly, the only random thing is the people they pick. There’s a whole army of ANTIFA out there that don’t work, live off the government and do everything they can to sow hate and discontent. The idea is to cause total anarchy within the general population. This plan started in the ‘60s and now that majority of these ultra violent radicals have infiltrated many college campuses with many professors a product of this communistic thinking. They operate on the Machiavellian principle of the ends justify the means. The fact that the Democratic Party and the media are more than willing partners with these principles is scary indeed for the average American who just wants to raise his or her family in a stable, freedom loving country without government interference in their pursuit of happiness.
Why is Anything and everything ( crimes, weather changes, broken water mains, a backed up toilet, it snowed to many inches, someone some where had to many bathroom calls during the night,, just to name a few) always blamed or labeled on politics???? If it isn’t the Democrats & their bases blaming the Republican’s & their bases for something. Then it is the Republican’s & their bases turn to blame or label the Democrat’s & their bases for something. OH well, I gather that some (in both parties) never get tired of the kittle calling the pot black. IMHO, I really believe that millions & millions of average American citizens are starting to get pretty feed up with ALL of this blaming &finger pointing from both parties. Especially when both parties are just as guilty as the other party and at the end of the day, neither party is innocent of corruption, finger pointing, power grabbing and getting their 10%. It is becoming very, very sad, when just one day cannot go by, without someone somewhere bringing politics into the article or the subject, just so they can blame something on one party or the other.
