Yep. I was talking about this with the missus just earlier today. Sure, perhaps other citizens with weapons might apprehend the guy as your aorta spurted out the last pint of your precious bodily fluids, but in fact, gun control isn't an issue in this case. Even if you were armed to the teeth- you'd still be a wet bio hazard on the concrete.

I pray this a-hole is caught soon. What we have to look forward to now is copycats.

Agreed- and here's another thought- imagine you're one of those other citizens- What do you see? what do you hear? A muted thump from inside a van/truck/ElCamino with a camper top...you''re a hundred yards away from anybody who got shot...

I'm not at all a tough guy-I'd like to think I'd step up to the plate and take a swing if I had to. Maybe I'd do okay, maybe I'd wet myself- can't say until it happens.

But even if I was a SEAL/Delta/etc.- What the hell would clue me in?

I think this is a real tough thing to deal with- this guy isn't 8' tall on roller skates with his hair on fire rolling down the sidewalk- he's hiding, he's inconspicuous, he's pretty slick.

I think the bottom line is carry always, and be prepared for God/chance/whatever to call you off the bench, but realize there's not a lot any one of us can do to stop him.

What we can do is give him a big "Osculate my Fundament"- by gritting our teeth, and going on about our business.

Of course that's pretty easy for me to say, given that I live in houston...

thoughts/prayers for the folks in the area.
