[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5707656, member: 8835"] I was watching a TV, that involved a bad guy going into a place with lots of people and he starts whacking a bunch of them, and squirting bad stuff into the eyes of anybody who came at him. The TV show made this tactic be really effective. As in he killed a good number of people, and everybody else ran away. I call BS. Sure, each one of us is going to gut check and decide to run away or not. But for one man to walk in an start hitting people and nobody thinks to gang up and take this guy out as a team attack just seems ludicrous. Is society so pansy arsed that we lack the testicular fortitude to take out a bad guy ourselves? Especially when the weapon set isn't extreme (a blunt object and a squirt gun, probably bleach). In the show, rushing the guy with chairs would have kept him from whacking you. A multiple man atack probably could have overcome the squirt gun. A fire extinguisher was panned by the camera, so you could grab that and blast him. Thoughts? Are you in the camp of "darn straight I would run", or "I would try to take this guy out if I could". Bear in mind, what you say here and what you'd actually do may differ by a mile. I'm more curious to see if the protrayal of the average citizen in the face of danger matches your view. [/QUOTE]
