(10,857 posts)What if you and I were together when we both ran into that guy?
I presume that your response to seeing him in the street would be to stand there, point, and shout, "that guy is fucking danerou---!"
Whereas mine would have been to wait for you to get shot, ascertain from the sound of the gunshot whether or not to use cars as cover (5.56 maybe, 7.62 no), saving me from the uncertainty of this poorly written news article.
I would still want to keep something that could stop or slow down the bullet between myself and the shooter as I tried to get away... like your wounded self.
So even though you're totally wrong, I would pick you up and carry you on my back to shelter, and then find aid for you, and save your life. That is, if the guy didn't shoot you again. In which case I would drop you, run like hell, and tell everyone I tried to save you, oh god! Why couldn't it have been me instead of him!
And this is the thanks I get, after all I've done for you? I saved your fucking life, man! Sheesh.
