Many have forgotten the statement “Let's Roll” after the Muzzies hijacked that airplane. Problem is too many become hypnotized and fail to act. throwing books, chairs, purses, ANYTHING at the shooter would distract him/her enough so that others can jump on a would be assassin. It's up to those who become potential victims to make a conscious decision to survive at all costs, even under the threat of death. They just might get lucky.
I think many of those who were shot were too young to remember “Let’s roll.” They were four or five years old in 2001.
Teach it. Never forget.
Practice it. I’d love to see schools bring in a self-defense trainer in a padded suit to gym class and teach the ten year olds how to attack en masse.
I imagine it is rather hard to maintain the necessary resolve to die fighting when you have been raised by those who contend that nothing is ever solved by violence.
Back in the fifties there were fights on the schoolgrounds quite often. Some of them were regular knockdown, dragout types between high school students. In those days it was not a big deal, it was not encouraged by any means but it was forgotten pretty quickly. Now it would result in fourteen police cars and a swat team being dispatched. They will send six cars to arrest one man who has zero history of violent behavior or even theft, I have seen that for myself.
