[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5708020, member: 19675"] Was that a recent episode of [I]Luther[/I]? There was a guy who started shooting a semiauto or automatic gun at the White House from the sidewalk a few years ago- nearly everyone scattered... But when he stopped shooting- either to reload or because his weapon jammed- he was tackled by one man, who was soon joined by others. Shortly thereafter, the Secret Service arrived for cleanup. No deaths. Had those civilians not done what they did, there would probably have been a bodycount. I admire the hell out of those men. I'd like to believe more people would act as they did. But lets be realistic- that kind of courage is a rare commodity, and you really can't know if you have it until you're put in that kind of situation. At any rate, salute to all those who [B][I]do[/I][/B] have that within them. [/QUOTE]
