On the one hand I agree with the thought that trying to do something is better than standing around hoping you aren't next. On the other I also agree that a typical student isn't going to have the experience to make that kind of decision. I don't fault them for not knowing what to do, and I don't fault them for not doing it.

And what if some of those you taught become gunmen themselves?
Or bombers? Or activists? Or politicians? Or the President?

I'm sorry, but that's one of the silliest hypotheticals I've ever read.
