Swore allegiance to ISIS.
I am concerned just like in Paris, that many of these venues do not have enough exits and the exits they do have are concentrated at the front,
when if controlled by a terrorist do not leave any way for the people to quickly exit. That and of course this was likely a gun free zone, so no one can defend themselves by shooting back.
Horrible.

Everyone 'exiting' is part of the problem when there is an 'active shooter' situation that occurs in a small space.
Reportedly there were 320 patrons in the building and ONE terrorist. What would happen if 200 people
charged the shooter instead of offering him their backs as they ran!
The answer of course is:
They would quickly overpower him and end the threat.
Yes it would come at some 'cost' and certainly it goes against the 'nature' of most folks, but we need to give this some thought.
SURELY there were strong, able bodied men in the room. Did NO ONE fight back?
These are different times folks. 'Running' isn't always going to be the best thing to do.
Very well put Flint
Prayers for all families and friends.
