I'm not being a smart ass, honest. Do you just stand there and let him shoot you, or drop to the floor and wait for him to get to you? I know he had the element of surprise, but he was seriously outnumbered. With this becoming more and more common any people or group that are would-be targets need to know what to do.

I saw a report on TV last year where a fifth grade teacher was teaching his students, 10-year-old’s, how to respond if someone enters the classroom and intends harm to the students. He has them all yell and scream and charge the person! The demo was very impressive. He has a code word known to him and the kids. The plan is if he says that word they are to take action. Pretty balsy, and I'm sure will meet with horror from lots and lots of people, but if it were my child in there I would rather them take action than be gunned down in their seats!

Im sure you would have behaved differently then the surprised and unarmed soldiers who were shot.... you would have charged the guy with your fists flying and gave him a good ol Chuck Norris roundhouse that decapitated him and then crapped down his neck.

I cant believe anyone in their right mind could be questioning the actions of people who got mowed down in a sneak attack by this idiot.

If most soldiers were allowed to carry weapons on base... this situation most likely would have been resolved before the police arrived. If the shooter knew that most soldiers were armed... he most likely would never have attempted this type of attack if he knew that he would be neutralized almost immediately.

Like I said, it is all very simple and easy when your ass isn’t the one that’s on the line.

I’d Really like to know how many life and death situations that this Fifth grade teacher had been in to hand out that kind of advice to children?

I’d really like to see how he would “Really” handle a deadly situation .. unarmed!

9 times out of 10, without training .. He’d freeze .. He’d die!

There is NO WAY to tell someone how to handle a scenario like the one you describe!

When you are in a gun fight and You have No gun .. Your usually going to be the loser .. No Matter how good of a ‘rusher’ you are.

I can Guarantee you that Even Barry Sanders couldn’t outrun a bullet, let alone outrun one when running into it!

Sure, If I know that I am going to die, no matter What I do .. I would prefer to die fighting ‘but’, How or When do you decide that .. “Now’s The Time To Die Fighting”?

Children certainly don’t have That kind of experience!

The teacher is an ass!
