Crazy to make accusations like this about a situation nobody knows.

Maybe they dont know how long it takes to reload a gun. I have no idea if it takes 3 seconds of 3 minutes and thats without the stress of being shot at, stress of finding cover and confusion.

Given all that goes on these people may not know about guns, may be unsure how long he has been reloaded, maybe quite a distance away and hundreds of other possibilities.

By the time they realise hes stopped shooting, realise he's reloading i bet they havent been calmly thinking "he's only taken 19 seconds so far so 11 to go lets get him".

Stressful situations never happen calmly and well timed.

These guys are alive i assume in which case good for them - they managed to survive a horrific event.

Already saw the post Tchocky. My response:

I don't speak my opinion unless I know what I'm talking about.

So you've been in their situation, or one like it? (not rhetorical, I'm curious)

people still died, and it wasn't as drawn out as something like this. It was over quite quickly.

Right, and did you intervene, or are you an "accomplice"?

One was a drive-by, the other was a bombing. Not exactly much oppurtunity to react. No I'm not going into the details. I worked hard enough already to bury them.

Let me say this:

YOU go in that situation and YOU see what you do.

It's a tendency for people to get up on a soap box from the comfort of their home and get judgemental on people in violent situations.

Fear does a lot of things to people, and unreasonable though it may be, I think we can't really understand what may have been going through their heads. I'd love to say I'd be a hero, but until I actually go and do it, it's best not to elevate myself and some great values over the real and the actual.

As someone would say "Let the one here without sin cast the first stone" :hmm:

Yeah, I wont interrogate you. But from what you've said they were dissimiliar situations. You call students accomplices to mass murder for not reacting, then claim authority from personal experience in a situation that did not allow you to react.

I would say it's a world wide epidemic

True it seems that here in America...people believe they have more to loose and gain in life

But if you read back over all this there are still a few who will give and not take...
