| with your last breath Joey the Accordion Guy talks about the latest foot-in-mouther by an american pundit. This time the pundit suggested that the students who died recently were cowards because they didn't fight back. I have to admit I thought the same thing.. correction, I thought something similar. How did he kill so many? Did not even one student turn and face him and try to stop him? The only answer I have is maybe they did. Maybe a brave student or ten stood up to him and he killed them anway. Maybe watching a brave student getting gunned down made every one else panic outright. Hell, gunfire tends to make people panic outright on the best of terms and blood and gunfire probably activates the lizard brain in 99% of people. I would like to say I would be a hero and jump in front of the gun or grab at his arm or hit him with a chair -- the D&D Hero in me says I would have to. But I have never faced violence outside of university bullying. I have never faced a weapon. But I would like to hope that given the choice of automatic death and a chance at life, I would fight for the latter. April 20 07 |
