“I would rather be in a crowd where if somebody had a baseball bat or a knife and went nuts they could only get one or two people before they are tackled.”

Right. My nephew and I were talking about this just last night. He insists — and I agree, that a determined attacker with a blade in a crowd could probably kill five or six people before anyone even realized something bad was happening. The available weaponry changes the tactics but not necessarily the results.
