They would run for their lives, not at the shooter. But I bet they like to fantasize about how the would be a hero and save the day.

No. It's not to early to speculate.

Speculation, by its very nature and definition is simply engaging in conjectural thought, and part of the human condition.

That Dennis Prager asshole tried to sue YouTube to demand they pay him for his cray talk.

They suspended Alex Jones and a bunch of his clones.
