My niece and nephews went to Columbine. Ramirez couldn’t see events coming, but yes, Colorado HAS seen this scene, before. Sadly, in almost every case where armed folks WERE around and “responded” they get shot, and the toll goes UP!
The guy in the crowd with a gun AND concealed carry permit, when Gabby Giffords was attacked did NOT draw his weapon, because he was smart enough to know it could make HIM a target of police in the confusion.
The Colorado guy was also wearing full body armor. Assad’s folks were also “well protected” when assassinated.
The “best laid plan”, is to stop violence, and wars irresponsibly begun, and “throwing nation’s weight around”. Even here at home, the acceptance of violence, produces, violence.
