Yeah, there’s a real good chance of that happening. I remember Politics on 2+2 going into a pretty big slump in 2013. But 3 years ago I also predicted the place would be a ghost town after the election, so who knows? Things can always get worse!

“Run, hide, fight” is very Orwellian.
“Run if you can,” the safety notice said. “If you’re stuck, hide (also known as ‘sheltering in place’), and stay quiet. If a shooter finds you, fight with whatever you can.”
I guess that reads better. But the stop, drop, and roll sequential motto is creepy and sounds like guerrilla warefare.
I’m picking up a large object and throwing it at him. I’ve lived a good life. People with kids deserve to live more than me.
Note: Obviously I have no idea if I’ll actually do this, nor does anyone until they get in the moment. But I do think about it sometimes. I think about what I’d do if there was an active shooter on my office floor.
I’m not just going to blindly charge. But I’m going to try to make a plan to overpower him when he’s reloading or something. If I charge and get shot I might still be able to land my prodigious weight on him so maybe others can jump in and disarm him.
I’d rather die trying to be a hero than know I ran away while others died. Not that I fault anyone else for doing that. But I only have selfish reasons to stay alive at this point.
Also just to be clear - I’m not charging into a building. But if I’m in some trapped situation where he’s just picking people off one by one - I’d rather die trying to stop that than hide or run and live through it. I think. It’s all academic at this point.

It is but sadly it seems to be a standard phrase in safety training. I work in a plant with large volumes of hazardous chemicals, every year we go through our emergency contingency plan and there is a page dedicated to active shooter scenarios. It says the same thing, run if you can, hide if if you can’t run and fight if it’s your only option

I would encourage everyone to weigh in here. I’m assuming everyone has some knowledge of the posting in question, if not I’ll see what I can pull up from previous posts that have been reported.
When in doubt, you should comma splice, dig?
I thought I’d hit The Namath Number today but I haven’t even hit the warning.

Someone in prison in Wisconsin apparently confessed to killing Theresa Halbach. Not Dassey or Avery.

Holy crap! Ootv must be apoplectic
My day so far: I’m sitting at a light when I hear a loud BANG! and I’m like wtf? Something hit my rear window, looks like a bullet but the cops don’t seem to think so

Just under my deductible to fix it, naturally
Holy shit that is scary.
Looks like a rock to me. Sucks man. I just took a fluke rock to the windshield on the freeway, and it went from a ding to a crack before I even reached my destination.

It’s seriously like the thing just fell from the sky. There was no one around anywhere that I could see who might have thrown it.
