The problem with people today is they just don't want to get in the way.
How do we manage to extrapolate from one event to determine what the "problem with people today is"? May I remind you, and everyone, of what just happened in that Unitarian Church in Tennessee? May I please remind you that the shooter had over 70 rounds of ammunition with him, and yet he was prevented from harming more than a half dozen people by the intervention of
several bystanders who did indeed choose to "get in the way"?
What would you say was their problem? How much more good could they have done if they had had concealed weapons there in that church? How much more harm?
One more thought, friends. These tragedies are indeed terrible, and I don't intend to diminish them by pointing this out, but consider that as aware as we are of each and every instance of such wanton violence, we can say with confidence that billions of person-miles of bus travel occur without them, and billions of person-hours of church attendance. Why do we seek to "solve" these problems by addressing bus safety or church safety, when obviously that is not where the problem lies?
