What is interesting is the “fight or flight” response of the masses today. Had 20 rushed him it would have been over but it sounds like everyone ran.

I'd venture to say most were simply frozen with fear. I watched the images of the crowd emerging from the theater. Most were not even prepared to run. Like my daughter who attended a similar showing of Batman here that same evening with her gaggle of friends. They went to the theater in flip-flops, pajama shorts, and carrying only car keys and cell phones. Like they just rolled straight out of bed. Many probably had. A night at the movies. What could go wrong?
