I should know the answer to this prior to posting but I look forward to reviewing this guy's combat record. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 24, 08:08 1
- Doesn't appear on his bio. -- (link) - Will Hunting Jun 24, 08:15
Not that I agree with any suggestion that this guy is making, but I did wonder when I heard the report that the guy reloaded 5 times why nobody - pmb Jun 24, 07:47 17
- they were apparently waiting for Jesus to save them. -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 08:02
- I'd say there's a difference between wondering what happened and assuming you'd be Rambo meets Jason Bourne in a crisis. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 07:52 2
  - The link I posted last night of that father and the home-run ball is a good example. - Spawn Jun 24, 07:55 1
    - I assume most people duck or run for their lives when there's danger. It's a rare person that runs to confront the attacker. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 08:01
- Yup. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 07:51 8
  - Shock does immobilize a lot of people. Never at that level of course, but I have seen it happen in situations that are made 10x worse for it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:53 7
    - And, as I think about it, it doesn't really take long to load a new mag if the shooter's paying attention. - Ender Jun 24, 08:11 5
      - what type of gun was he using? -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 08:14 3
        
        All I ever read was a .45 cal handgun. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:15 2
        
        so likely 5 to 10 seconds to pop a new clip in, assuming he was not refilling the clip. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 08:16 1
        
        Nah, if he's got the next mag in his hand and just dropping the old one on the floor it's more like 2 seconds. -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 08:20
      - Yeah, it is a quick, fluid motion if done right. If you were not looking at him, you might not even know he did it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:13
    - Yeah, I get it, and part of me would like to believe I'd try to go out on my shield, but it's all hypothetical. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 08:02
- Yup. The age of the victims, I figured. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:50
- wait, what?? -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 07:49
- He reloaded 5 times?! -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 07:47 1
  - The very first staement I read was from the woman he let live and she said that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:50
this is the kind of stuff that makes people think what Shaun said below. - Diva Jun 24, 07:35
wait. is he saying it's their own fault?? -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 07:32 9
- Partially. Also, they weren't armed so they couldn't shoot back. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 07:36 3
  - I would be lying if I said I have never seen a bible that had a gun hidden in it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:06 2
    - Just as Jesus would've wanted it. -- nm - Shaun Jun 24, 08:08 1
      - The Really Good Book. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:16
- Not the first couple...they're in the clear. It's the last couple that could have done something. -- nm - Jim Jun 24, 07:35 2
  - Those old ladies especially should have been able to run at him and Ninja kick the gun out of his hands. -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 07:36
  - that's what I think he's saying. what?? -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 07:36
- He's saying that if one of them had a gun, this wouldn't have happened. -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 07:35 1
  - And imagine if they *all* had guns. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:52
