Bang, bang, bang, bang. Inside the darkened Moore Theatre on May 23, veteran Seattle Police Department SWAT officer Jeff Geoghagan was taking out victims with a finger gun. Three more: bang, bang, bang. Geoghagan lowered his arm. "It happens pretty quick, doesn't it?" he asked the crowd in the auditorium. Before he started "shooting," Geoghagan asked the audience to time him. The seven shots took less than 30 seconds. The lesson: The cops won't make it in time to help you. |

More people need to understand that when the **** hits the fan, they are on their own for the first 3-5 minutes in an urban environment and that they are their own emergency response to get out alive.
Anyone refusing to acknowledge this and take steps to even the odds a bit, does not deserve any sympathy when evil befalls them. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
