I was referring to all of the shootings that have occurred not just this one. I'm glad to hear people fought back in this instance. I've been avoiding it simply because I'm tired of reading about crap like this so I don't know much beyond what's in headlines. However, if you read about the Virginia shootings and Columbine you'll find the same thing, most people did nothing to fight back. Those were college students. Columbine was teenagers. I certainly wouldn't expect the children in this instance to put up a fight. They were much too young. Too many instances in which people do nothing to defend themselves, I believe, points to a break down in a belief system. I believe that system has created a society that's subdued in the face of life threatening danger because it's been taught to believe someone else will save you or, worse, that defending yourself is wrong. That's what I was saying. Maybe I wrote it more concisely this time.
