State of the Sooky
Jul. 20th, 2012 03:47 pmLink of the Day: http://ginmar.livejournal.com/2302259.html [Unknown site tag], a combat vet, lays out the answer for those who say someone at the theater should have been armed.
"What's going to happen in any case is that cops are going to run in and they're going to see maybe one or two guys with guns and they're going to shoot them both. Without musical fanfares or other cues that you're a hero all people will see is a dude with a gun in a situation with lots of dead and wounded people---killed and wounded by guns. Or all of them. However many morons there are who've watched too damned many Bruce Willis movies. People will be bewildered when later on you are identified as one of the gunman. Gee, you didn't even know the other guy. Or did you? Years later, you'll never be entirely cleared, because you're dead and you can't explain why you put so many people in danger in your quest to 'help.'"
