Hard to imagine just one person keeping the door closed.
Nothing gets pulled, these days.
Bit of irony: the actor who played Hodor is gay.
Is he thinking, “I’ll block the door and keep the shooter inside and contained so everyone is safe”?
Some interesting posts there. I think someone expressed great relief that Marco Rubio was safe.
There’s something odd about the concept of ‘lock-down’ which is a concept used in prisons... but has no place in a free society ...
If a person can escape a bad situation they should escape...
LOL.
He was hiding in the foam.
“Hard to imagine just one person keeping the door closed.”
Hmmmmmm. Well, that might depend on who he was holding back?
Depends on which way the door swings (pun unintended)
They were trapped in an alley and were afraid the shooter would come out there?
WHAT?!!! This is almost as bad as the 100 plus people who got burned alive in NYC because the exits got blocked during an arson.
Usually, right after a mass shooting, there are reports of a 2nd gunman. Those reports disappear and only conspiracy freaks remember them. Well here, I'd be inclined to believe it.
Also, I wonder if maybe the cops got trigger happy and some of the victims were “friendly fire”. Like the Twin Peaks thing in Texas last year.
But, I don't know anything. Just that 103 seems hard to believe.
Thanks
In 1944, there was a terrible fire in circus tent in Hartford Ct. My father, age 6 at the time, was there with his father.
It was pandemonium inside that tent. The fire was melting the paraffin tent, which was melting on audience members like napalm, burning and killing them.
My grandfather grabbed my father and as many people as he could and got under the bleachers. While everyone was panicking, he maintained the presence of mind to do something to save people. He knew he needed to cut a hole in the side of the tent to get out, but didn’t know what to do it with.
He realized that one of the people he had ushered under the bleachers was a Boy Scout.
So, he asked the Boy Scout if he had a knife.
It turned out that he did and my grandfather saved my father, himself, and a number of other people that day.
According to Wikipedia, 167 people died that day out of a crowd of 7000.
A large portion of those probably died because someone made a WRONG decision vs my grandfather’s right decision.
In the heat of battle or a stressful situation, it is not intellectually honest, fair, or decent, to Monday Morning Quarterback someone’s decisions.
If this man’s actions caused deaths, he has a long life ahead of him, thinking of it every time he puts his head on a pillow at night. He doesn’t need the Internet Morality Squad to let him know what a POS they think he is.
Just remember that not everyone is an awesome hero in the face of horror. Some people fold. Some people try and fail. Some people freeze. Don’t beat them up after they survive. If they really did wrong, they’ll beat themselves up way better than you ever could.
Not hard to believe at all. I’ve been waiting for years for this exact scenario.
Perhaps this guy’s name is Wahad Jihad?
Not a gun expert. Place was packed, seems like all you would need to do is cover your back (back up to a wall or something). In a crowded and loud environment people are just gonna run away from your direction.
If a group isn’t charging at you and you are trained with the weapon and at reloading it (which this idiot seemed to me) it doesn’t seem that implausible to me.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, that is incredible.
