They could throw staplers, which IIRC was suggested when Obama’s son shut up the the Navy Yard

But there CAN’T BE such a gunman in DC since the permit rules are so onerous, you can’t get a gun.

Was she thinking of Flight 93, and how the French victims could have “mobbed” their two attackers? It still would have been better to have just two “concealed carry” attendees.

The lawyers are going to love Chief Lanier even more after this advice. Now they can sue the city, too.

I guess she wants people to take down a gunman with their bare hands.

......or a bullhorn, a banner and a march...........

Many commenting here think we should offer no resistance, and wait for our turn to be slaughtered.

Guess those three Americans and the Frenchman on the French train had it all wrong. They should have stayed in their seats while the jihadist reloaded.

I don’t care what religion one is. There is a natural reaction to duck your head when someone throws something at it. And that creates an opportunity to escape or rush the gunman.

Imagine if 30 or 40 people are throwing things at your head and twenty of them then rush at you. You’d be lucky to get two or three of them before the mob takes you down.

We’re talking about an exposed gunman with multiple hostages, not storming a fortified machine gun position on Normandy beach.

Cathy is an idiot. Maybe she should focus on being the all-powerful police force she claimed she had when she protested privately owned firearms.

You've got a point there.

Two more things which come readily to mind are Muslim jihadis and Obama's Executive Branch. I'm sure we can easily think of others but those two have basically the same goals in mind although their initial conquest methods might differ somewhat.

Something you don’t allow in D.C.

My God. Are you saying the DC Police Chief can vote on bills in Congress? Damn things sure have changed.

No problem, Chief, the Plastic Spork Brigade is on it!
