I wonder how many of those people who were injured are now going to be filing disability claims with the US Government for PTSD.Quote:

Oh the fun that could be had...
Pavlovian response.
The programming is proceeding as anticipated.
Let's not pretend that running from danger is not hardwired into our biology. We can all pretend that the reason we even exist as a species is because we're all fearless badasses, but...it's not.
I know I wouldn't run for fear of gunfire...not because of cajones but because I've been desensitized to background gunfire. I'd probably be oblivious to why people were running from an actual "active shooter" and think I farted or something.
No shortage of bad asses on gun forums...

if i saw hundreds of people running, i'd run too. 10x more if I'm with my wife and kids. Explain to me how that makes me a coward or fool.
I'd run, too. And then try to figure out WTF I was doing in NYC.
I'd run too, just so I wouldn't get run over by all the others running.

There is a video of the people running in Ohio and one guy pushes his wife to the ground, lays over her and scoots off against a concrete planter to take cover...
I would call in an air strike.
It's the only way to be sure..

Or trolls ;) I've gotta poke buttons just a little bit sometimes. Of course everybody runs when a herd of wildebeest is charging at you. Save one exception, and one exception only:Quote:

I'm a big fan of the idea...but I hope it wouldn't balloon into something much more serious.
I used to have an old Chevelle with a 396 4/speed and glasspacks. I could turn the key off and back on while driving, and that sucker'd backfire like two 12 guage shotguns going off. Had a few chuckles with it!
When I was young and working construction we had a total POS '68 pickup (Dodge, I think) and you could flutter the gas pettle just right for second or two, then hit it hard and it would backfire like a son of a bitch. We had a lot of fun with that.
Air joke fail.

Sure, make a big huff about it.Quote:

We had some fun with that as well. Good times.
Wait a minute.... "Inhale don't exhale... that's just an expression".Quote:
