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

    I want to laugh and think I could tell the difference between a rapid backfire and gunshots, BUT given the context of the situation, I might not be able to. I'd have zero shame in running away from potential danger. You might not be wrong, but the price to pay if you are is pretty steep.

    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.
