Knife armed felon. You only become a felon when you have been convicted of the offence- not when you perpetrate it. Consequently the person armed with the knife is not a 'felon' unless he has prior convictions for felony.

I believe the author of the post possibly misused the word felon and meant to say something in the terms of an "attacker".
But I do believe his question was clear even with the misuse of the word "felon".
You don't have to be a lawyer to figure that out.
