A lamb (not a Man) was 10’ away. We have a shortage of sheepdogs.
Idiots that are brave with their phones and you tube uploads but won’t stop or even try to stop what was going on.

Bin Laden was right, the US Male population is majority pansy metro sexual pajama boy 0bama wannabes.

What kind of gun did he use. The pix looks like a glock...but not quite. The openings on the frame above the trigger opening are typical of glocks.

It says he was on the floor comforting a woman who was shot, and the shooter came within 10-15 feet of them. I do not think he was in any way able to do much to stop the carnage.

Yeah, it could have been worse though. He would have been much more effective if he had told everyone to get down and lay on the floor. Compliance rate would of been high.

After 8 years of this America-hating African, this seems like status quo.

You may be right. But if I were there with my wife and son, and had an avenue of exit that I could guide them to, I would take it!

Sometimes, self preservation for your family would just be the prudent thing to do.

Think of the alternative of trying to stop him: you are on the other side of the column from the shooter. He knows you are there. You can’t exactly see him. He shifts to the right to take a shot. You know he is going to get you if he shoots, so you jump toward him from 10 feet.

He’d have you dead to rights.

Or, you usher your family out the door, leaving someone’s grandmother to suffer the consequences.

I don’t begrudge anyone for making that quick, life or death decision.

Right, within 10 feet and didn’t take the opportunity.

Easy to back seat drive, though.

I pray that I would be able to steel myself in a situation like that.

Boy that is not an easy thing though.

I DO! It shouldn’t even be a thought process.

I still think this ISIS terrorist had some help from inside the airport.. Ammo placed in restroom trash can or even loaded gun placed inside his luggage. I think a lot of what we’re being told will be found to have been UNTRUE.

You as provider for your family live because you didn’t jump on the shooter.

That’s not an easy calculation to make in 1.3 seconds when he opens fire.

In Florida, as in a few other states, the unsecured areas of the airport are gun free zones.
