It is even worse than that. One of the Deputy Sheriffs who was assigned to the school exchanged shots with one of these nutjobs and then left to "get help". COWARD>

When it comes to kids I stay until I am out of bullets or blood and not that is not armchair bravado. Twice in my civilian life I have had to protect others - once people I did not even know. Mad 2, bad guys 0.

Revisionist history BS. Gardner did not leave the scene. Clowns like you should be working for CNN.

“...and not that is not armchair bravado.”

I don’t believe it is. You are a culture relic.

Every man who lived on the street where I grew up, (especially if he had a sidearm on his hip) would have gone into that building under those circumstances that day. They would not have swaggered in, shoulders swinging and eyes slitted with grim purpose, rather, they would have turned pale, their eyes would have bugged, they would have utterd “Jesus Christ”-—and then done what they had been raised to do and what the culture expected of them.

“Culture” is all. It really is.
