Americans dont need lessons in courage. You live in France...you should know that.
I would say 50% *- do. In 2004 it was minus, in 2006 it was +.
Too many of us do, alas.
So many of these kids just froze.
I contrast to the USA of 1962, Austin Texas. When the tower sniper began shooting, the student went to their vehicles, got their deer rifles and pinned the shooter down. As a result, he was no longer effective and pinned down until finally gunned down by 2 cops and a civiilian bearing a shotgun.
Of course, an important distinction there is -— the students had legal access to firearms -— an impossiblity in a PC-feel-good “gun free zone” -— what I call Beslan coming to a defenseless school near you.
