Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janx" data-source="post: 5707768" data-attributes="member: 8835">good considerations.I have a black belt.  I've been trained to panic better than the average civillian.  But I like to think that all the violent movies we all watch has not placated us all into pacifistic hammer splats. Which would be really ironic that people who decry all the violent media, if our society is less capable of violence towards our fellow man because of all the violent media...Now i fully expect some % of people to just run away.  That's a perfectly fine plan, especially versus McHammer.Probably more ironic, your chances of survival running or facing McHammer should be greater than vs. a gunman.  Guns shoot farther, even when you're running away.  And running away from a hammer is pretty easy.You could pull a drawer out and use it as a shield.  Pick up a chair and use the legs to keep him at bay.  A bunch of people doing that could overwhelm him.The squirt gun is probably the tricky part.  McHammer squirts something that burns into peoples eyes.  It gives him range, and lets him take out anybody who approaches him.I have no doubt, somebody's going to get hit by a hammer or taken out by the squirt gun.  But 2-3 dudes have a better chance of tackling him.As for intel on the attack, there was surprisingly little screaming.  That should be another important thing in the training, try to scream in a shreaking fashion when you see something horrible happen in the cube farm.  that way your cube mates are alert to real trouble and source.  Then, the more burly of them can deal with it (and hopefully the ones who carried a gun, despite the workplace rule against it).</blockquote>
