"We can't do nuttin' about this, honey!" I put my opinion about this and it was lost in the noise. We should be teaching everyone to FIGHT BACK. If everyone in that room scattered and immediately started throwing everything they could pick up, at the shooter, he would be too busy ducking to shoot and they could take him down. There is no down side. The ONLY way he can kill them all is if they stand there patiently and wait their turn. One unarmed guy tried to "fight back" in the latest shootings and he got shot 7 times. Fortunately he survived. Weren't we talking about mass shootings where gunmen were in a room full of people and there was no chance that you could just cooperate and get away. How many times would he have been shot if he stood still and waited his turn. I think more lives are saved by following protocol ... meaning people move into a secure area, lock the door, shut off the lights and stay quiet. Fine but what happens when the bad guy comes in that room and turns the light back on? Maybe you can't get to a secure area, you are all in the break room with no door on it and light coming in from outside. Most modern LEED buildings have plenty of natural light. If everyone immediately started throwing **** at the gunman, he would have to start thinking about ducking because the incoming might just be a coffee cup or it might be a lap top charger "slung" from a 3' cord. A pound or so, coming in at a few hundred feet per second is going to leave a mark. These guys are not specially trained SWAT guys, they are just insecure losers for the most part and losing control of the situation, even for a few seconds might be all it takes to stop them. As I said, what would you have to lose? It isn't a robbery, he is there to kill you. |
