Ben Carson on what he'd try if confronted with murderer

[ralph]

like what happened in Roseburg . Hear that Ben is taking flak for his thoughts . --- http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/07/politics/ ... -shooting/ --- and Trump is defending Ben while Ben is taking flak from the likes of 'linsey graham' !!

I think he's right. I was reading Gary North saying about the same thing. If everybody rushes the shooter he can only shoot a few people. But, the key is training so that people can react instinctually what a threat is suspected. North recommended an intensive national "Lets Roll" campaign to get the word out. When someone detects a shooter he yells "Let's Roll" and everyone rushes the shooter at once, confusing him and knocking him off his feet.

The people I travel with and I have discussed contingency plans for such things.

makes sense to me except I hope that most people are seeing reality and are learning that if they want to survive a Roseburg kind of situation then they should take aggressive action . Training might be good for people , kids especially .

[planosteve]

Gee we all agree! That's a first.

The potential stigma of being the loser who was disarmed by a gang of 7 year olds might have some preventive value of its own.

watching 'chris Matthews' and boy they are going after Ben . Yelling about Ben blaming the victims because they didn't rush the murderer . I don't know , seems to me that BEN just had a little bit of good advice . Better to rush the murderer rather than wait for a bullet to the head imo !!

If a guy with a rifle asks me to get up against the wall..I'm not doing it.

I recall that at least one person (after 9/11) announced to other passengers on a plane that if there were terrorists on the plane, they should all rush him/them, because the terrorists couldn't take them all on. IIRC, he got in some trouble.

Liberals have to make sure there are victims to exploit. Can't have people who are self-reliant.

didn't a Gent named Todd Beemer actually do the RUSH with some airline passengers on a flight headed to a target on 9-11 ?? ------ Lets Roll !!

The first rule of rush club is you don't talk about rush club. Must maintain the thin veneer of civility.

I think air passengers these days are pretty aware of what's needed if the time comes.
