But Simon is definitely a jerk who needs to be deported asap. If Britain rejects him, perhaps he can go over and use his boyish charm on the Iranians for exile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-20492598596569448282007-04-18T11:57:00.000-06:002007-04-18T11:57:00.000-06:00I guess I was thinking about being out gunned.

A child has little chance to bum rush a shooter (most likely adult) and keep the shooter down. That's the key. If the shooter gets back up, you're dead. Now, if you're a 250 pound football player, that's another thing.<BR/><BR/>My context, is that in lieu of sitting under a desk like you're about to get nuked, the better option is to get the hell away.Melissa Clouthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864991953502438461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-68680942174227053112007-04-18T10:59:00.000-06:002007-04-18T10:59:00.000-06:00I've already talked to my kids about running in a ...<I>I've already talked to my kids about running in a zig zag, and just plain running, if someone points a gun a them.</I><BR/><BR/>I don't know, Doc. Every time I hear you're supposed to run instead of fight (the only legal response to an attacker in England's gun-free-zone), I get the same image in my head:<BR/><BR/>It's that apex predator, a <I>Jurassic Park</I> velociraptor, shrieking "PREY IS RUNNING! CHASE AND KILL! CHASE AND KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!"<BR/><BR/>THAT is how a predator thinks.<BR/><BR/>You don't brag about being a Vegan pacifist in front of Kzinti.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
