Lots of army tough guys on am radio questioning why unarmed people being shot at didn't fight back

steve dave · « **Reply #481 on:** June 16, 2016, 09:14:27 AM »

oh yeah, tough guy am radio guys would have shown the assault rifle firing bad guy the hands. I don't doubt that for a second.

My sis-in-law (least responsible person I've ever met) posted a something on FB about how everyone around her is safer because she is carrying.

Shame she couldn't round up radio hosts to save the day

The thing is an armed security guard/off duty cop and two more cops tried and failed to shoot him

steve dave · « **Reply #488 on:** June 16, 2016, 09:30:35 AM »

but in my scenario, Operation Flesh Wall, the victims would have converged on the shooter in such a mass he wouldn't have time to shoot every one of them and eventually some of them would have gotten to him or at least contained him in a wall of dead bodies.

You aren't even going to throw beer bottles and shoes at the guy shooting at you?

sounds like they should've had an assault rifle too instead of a glock

You obviously wait for him to reload then attack.

steve dave · « **Reply #493 on:** June 16, 2016, 09:41:30 AM »

everyone obviously just wait at a close enough distance that once he tires from shooting everyone to death and goes to reload his clip and/or magazine you can spring to action and tackle him.

This place didn't have a safe room? Smdh.

They have some pretty great hostage stories out there right now. One from a guy named Orlando who faked dead for 3 hours until he was rescued. Crazy crap.

It was a young person's nightclub, I'm told. And there were some [LGBT people] there, but it was mostly Latinos

Actual writer for The Atlantic Megan McArdle suggested that with a straight face after Newtown (I think).

Seems more reasonable than arming 150 people at a bar

So armed people automatically means someone, if not everyone gets shot?

That is fascinating Lib, even from your hilarious little mind.
