all over news...
it was worse than columbine..

[Ninja_Blue]

Yea, I live in Virginia, and we were watching it in our World History class.
****ing 32 dead....

[Roach Of Discord]

Sad indeed...

I never understand why someone can't stop them though, it's only one person. I would drop kicked the shooter in the head ninja style.

As I said...sad...but not surprising in today's society =\

[SouLess]

I would love for you to go and try and dropkick an armed gunman in the head. You and eric both.

I wouldn't just stand there and get lined up and shot. Obviously fear can be overwhelming, so it's by far understandable, but still. On the news it stated that they lined up like 20 of them and shot them one by one.

Either way, it is a tragedy.

I came home and heard about this, and it definitely shocked me. It's indeed a true tragedy, and we will always remember it.

really? I'd known about it for weeks.
seriously though, I agree with roach, getting bum rushed by 20 people is not favorable for either side, but it's certainly not 32 people dead.

[Andrew]

If I'm going to die, I would try to fight. It's a tough decision. I would be frightened with a gun pointed right at me, but there aren't many options. I'm thankful there weren't any more casualties.

[Gimmi]

I figure after he shoots the second person lined up, its time for a rush. lining you up could be for obedience, 1 killing could be for fear. 2 is a planned execution.

[Andrew]

That's very frightening just to think about. I wouldn't trust a guy with a gun pointed at me, but I would try to do anything to live.

In the face of a loaded gun, there is no telling what you'd do; you can't guarantee you'd have stood up to the gunman. In fact, I'd almost guarantee you wouldn't have.

That's a good point, but I can almost guarantee you I would prefer to bum rush someone, than take my chances with his gun locking up when it comes my turn for execution.

[Andrew]

That's the thing. You have to have the others behind you. If you're alone, you're pretty much screwed. It might be hard to get everyone to rush at once without saying anything because the gunman could just shoot you if you try to talk. Then, if you decide to just run and hope others follow, the others might just watch you run, and you will get obliterated.

[Gimmi]

Who cares? Dieing is dieing.

[Andrew]

Some may believe you have a greater chance of survival by standing still than running towards your attacker.

[Roach Of Discord]

I guarantee I would do something. I'm usually logical like that though. I mean..I'm not going to stand there knowing he's going to shoot me o.O. I can understand it though...total fear...and maybe the hope of them being let go if they cooperate.

It is scary to think about...because in that position, you would be freaked...and probably not thinking very rational.

[Malcom Sex]

A pistol carries ~18 shots in a clip, it takes one to the head to kill you, he backs up as he does it, he could kill 18 people pretty easy.

[Gimmi]

nobody can shoot 18/18 head shots the first time they pickup a gun.
we aren't talking about rambo taking over the school dude.

[Andrew]

Well, there is such thing as spare ammo and more than one gun.

are you ****ing thick? you cant seriously think that someone is going to be able to reload a gun, after getting 18 consecutive head shots, while backing up, and shooting at moving targets, all in the time it takes someone to sprint at him from <100 feet.
