Obviously nobody was kung fu fighting. Waiting at a train station, get these people dispersed, these people would be alive if they'd been in cars!
And if anyone in the train station had had a gun, it would be "one attacker dead, police seeking others who fled."
[Dwight Shrute] UNSHUN If the citizens had had firearms, it would have been a couple citizens dead, a whole bunch of terrorists dead. SHUN [/Dwight Shrute]
Why would Chinese terrorists have AR-15' s when reliable knock off Kalashnikovs are readily available? Again, this isn't about guns, it's about cars. Can you be stabbed by a pedestrian when driving down the highway at 70 mph? Can a man walk up and stab you if you're locked securely in your vehicle? Stop the madness people, get in cars!
We need to test this on MythBusters! If they did, they would come at him one (possibly two) at a time for about an hour.
These terrorists could have been shut down cold if the locals had been versed in the ancient art of: And now for the "what? Too soon?" moment - not one motherfucker had a leather jacket?
Unless of course you're stuck in a 60 mile long traffic jam for 9 days. Then you're easy pickings. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129431201
Imagine what an opportunity for introspection and meditation a 9 day traffic jam would enable! I guarantee at least a few of those fuckers figured out "the sound of one hand clapping."
This goes to show that crazy fucks will commit mass murder with anything they can get their hands on. This guy needed four others to pull off a mass stabbing whereas guns allow crazies to work solo, but dead is dead.
Still, you had a 0.0000020578% chance of being a victim. Or another way to look at it, 1 out of every 48,597,143 Chinese was a victim.
The only thing that stops a bad Chineman with a knife, is a good Chinaman with a gun! Or a good Chinaman who knows kung-fu. Or a good Chinaman with a sword. Or a bow an arrow. Maybe an attack dog. If he hasn't eaten it.
Surely the attackers would have used different tactics? Instead of a knife attack it would have been a gun attack...
