He has said many good things such as: "like white blood cells attacking a virus."

For reference here is what the concert venue looked like. (lol a Limp Bizkit concert in June 2015.)

While I understand the self-preservation instinct, what I do not get is why people did not rush them when they were reloading apparently many times. We have thrown the old cooperation with highjackers theory right out the window and we have seen that it has been helpful a few times eg. when people rushed the guy with the AK on a Parisian bound train a couple of months ago.

(BTW the one guy on the train that helped tackle the attacker was apparently a college student in Oregon who left classes to go on Dancing with the Stars or he would have been in class perhaps during the Umpqua Community College shooting.)
