Gimme a break. WOuld *you* have rushed a madman waving a gun? Not bloody
likely, unless you would prefer to be a *dead* hero. OTOH, if he had been
carrying a knife instead, there is a chance that 3 or 4 husky guys could
have cornered him in a corner for a while, thus slowing down if not
stopping his rampage of death.

Boris, your writings are total bunkum. It's easy to sit behind a computer
keyboard after the fact and slam everybody else for doing nothing. If you
had been there, I doubt if you would have done anything either. If you
had, you likely wouldn't be sitting there ranting away at your keyboard
either. Perhaps you've been watching too many Rambo or McGyver movies if
you think that an unarmed civilian is going to stop a madman with a gun.
Get out of your ivory tower and wake up to the real world.
