A lamb (not a Man) was 10’ away. We have a shortage of sheepdogs.
Idiots that are brave with their phones and you tube uploads but won’t stop or even try to stop what was going on.
Bin Laden was right, the US Male population is majority pansy metro sexual pajama boy 0bama wannabes.
Yeah, it could have been worse though. He would have been much more effective if he had told everyone to get down and lay on the floor. Compliance rate would of been high.
You may be right. But if I were there with my wife and son, and had an avenue of exit that I could guide them to, I would take it!
Sometimes, self preservation for your family would just be the prudent thing to do.
Think of the alternative of trying to stop him: you are on the other side of the column from the shooter. He knows you are there. You can’t exactly see him. He shifts to the right to take a shot. You know he is going to get you if he shoots, so you jump toward him from 10 feet.
He’d have you dead to rights.
Or, you usher your family out the door, leaving someone’s grandmother to suffer the consequences.
I don’t begrudge anyone for making that quick, life or death decision.

When you’re watching something like that, your brain doesn’t work the way it does when you post comments on the internet.
It’s easier said than done.
I was robbed once, working at Circle K in North Idaho.
A guy came in at Halloween, wearing a mask, and carrying a 12 gauge shotgun.
My first thought was “that’s a weird Halloween consume,” then he walked behind the counter pushed the muzzle of the shotgun six inches from my stomach and said “Money.”
I was paralyzed with fear, I’d faced bad situations before, I was a security guard at Ski Schweitzer and I had to stop a lot of drunks from getting into their cars and driving home to Spokane, and one guy even lifted a monkey wrench above his head and tried to hit me with it.
None of those things scared me, but seeing that shotgun muzzle so close to my stomach completely floored me, I could barely get the cash drawer open I was shaking so badly.
All my friends told me how they would have knocked the muzzle aside, or charged the guy, or grabbed the gun out of his hands...but I told them until it actually happens, you have no idea what terror can do to shut a person down.
Now, obviously military guys are going to charge at a guy shooting people, but I suspect it’d be hard for your average Joe, (of which I’m one) to run directly at a guy who’s shooting and killing people.
I like to think that God would empower me to stop seomeon at a moment like that, but I will never forget how completely and absolutely fear shut me down when he walked up to me and stuck that shotgun in my stomach...

I think this may be the same guy that Shep Smith had on the phone from the scene. If so, I’m pretty sure I know why he wimped out. Lets just say, Smith may marry him someday.
