Would you have done it?

1. Light up a flare and stuff it up under the back of his amour vest.

2. Wearing a gas mask eh....so put a plastic bag over the fiter.

3. If have a gun ....aim for the mask lenses. (aim small...miss small)

An Israeli security expert said that most thugs were poor shot and that you were more likely to survive if you resists.

This was in reference to the fact that you are more likely to die in a secondary crime scene than a first one.

Question on your three “suggestions”

1. You routinely carry flares when going to the movies ??

2. You could tell he was wearing a gas mask, were familiar with that type of mask that you knew where the intakes were, and could manage not to get shot while getting close enough to install said bags, and KEEP THEM ON while he was choking ?>

3. Aurora is a no-concealed-carry town. So, how did you lawfully carry a weapon into the theater ??

Ooohhhh right Wambo how the hell are you going to do all this while being pinned down by in-coming enemy fire?

I mean I can see in your delusional ideal world having all the toddlers, 10 year olds, and teens gathered around you, having ripped out the material from the seat cushions to make head bands for themselves, saying hey "We will cover you with Popcorn and Twizzlers fire while you go out to Lowes Hardware & Home Improvement Center to gather all this stuff up and get a background check from Walmart for the firearms and when you get back we will hit him with Slushy grenades and Coke bombs so you can sneak up behind him and do all that crap!!" Dude get in the real world no one attends a movie theater geared for an Search and Destroy mission to watch a movie with friends.

I mean really dude these people were outgunned with no where to hide, they were a bunch of pre-teens, teens, a few parents, and 20 somethings who came out to watch a movie, then being put in an impossible situation, so how in hech do you see all these unarmed people, many already dead or wounded, getting the drop on this guy who has preplanned this very thoroughly that he has the outside exist covered and has a free line of sight fire on those trying to get to lobby exist?

Without being there I do not have any idea what I would do in this situation. I mean if I have kids with me then I am going to be trying to keep their heads down so they don't get shot. If I am at the top row close to the lobby exist then maybe I try to get the kids to drop down and get out but really with the tear gas and dealing with the defening roar of of the semi-automatic it is going to be chaos and getting to the gunman it is almost impossible. So until I am in that situation I CAN NOT BLAME any of those that were targeted by a terrorist and put into a NO WIN situation.
