tackled him while he was reloading. Of course I wasn't there and have no way of knowing whether that was feasible or not, but I did wonder. And also, fuck this guy.

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
