Thank you for your contribution to this thread. Your eloquence is much appreciated. You wrote what I’m sure many were thinking.
When a Muslim starts shouting "Allah Akbar" and slaughtering infidels, it's not "inexplicable".
If these cretins in the SRM would bother to spend the least amount of time reading a few history books, they could find countless instances of this type of Islamic terrorism.
It's not unique to Islam — certainly, the Thuggees were probably even more committed to random, senseless murder than the average Muslim — but unfortunately, Islam is now practiced by a large percentage of the world's population, and numerous nations are officially Islamic states. The Thuggees, on the other hand, were finished off by the British in the 19th century.

Doesn't everybody love this gal?
And if you run into
This five-foot-two

Hey, Abdullah...just don't test her, pal

A Happy tune for a wonderful gal!
They were only copying the Columbine Swatters who were doing some play-marching nonsense while the killers continued their rampage.
Perhaps it was the Army training (I know she's a civilian but contracted to the Army) that got it right: move against the shooter and kill him. If the Columbine/Binghampton and (not sure about this) Virginia Tech responders had done the same the losses would have been smaller.
Oh no. I hate the things but, can’t wait to her on TV.
Can’t wait to see her on TV.

I love it. True You.
She’s an east coast girl. Nyah!
Very Well said indeed - thank you for posting this excellent summary.
I wonder if the accusation is accurate. If so, I'd have to chalk it up to "fortunes of war". What should she have done? Risk letting the target shoot substantially more innocents or risk hitting a few herself while she took him down?
I've read comments to the effect that she should have put him down sooner, but it occurred to me that she may not have had a clear shot at first. From the floor, whether she got there from being wounded or on purpose, she may have had a better shot because she would have been shooting up making it less likely, but not impossible, that over-penetration would have harmed innocents behind the target.
Of course the above is mostly insufficiently based speculation about possibilities.
