When I heard the news about this situation. I decided I shall just ride the train for now on when visiting family. I'm praying for the poor guy's family and friends.

So, now we have the man shooting up a church on Sunday, random decapitation, and a guy walking up to some kids swimming in a river and shooting them. This week is pretty screwed up.

Yeah, I heard about this. It's pretty messed up; I can't believe anyone would have the mind or will to do something like that to a total stranger. Pretty scary.

Well, it's like the old saying goes, idle hands are the devil's workshop.
I guess he took the term getting away with murder a little too seriously.

Even though we live in a fallen world, I don't think God wants us to hide away in our closets from the evils and misguided ppl in our world.....I personally think He's called us to be the Ones to stand up against those ppl, not so much through phyiscal force or fighting skills, but through unconditional love that only comes through Christ.....

But we should protect those who are defenseless...I heard something about an attack on an airplane once--the attacker jumped out of his seat and threatened to crash the plane--and all the people nearby jumped on the attacker, thus subduing him and saving the airplane from a terrible fate. So I guess force can be used in some cases (but we shouldn't hate the person, nor should we use force for little matters where it's not needed).

Still, this is quite shocking. This was unprovoked, right? At first, I was thinking, "But I thought Canada had a low crime rate," and then I remembered that freak accidents (or crimes) happen, like that attack in Akihabara recently.

Prayers are definitely needed for everyone involved.

There's not really much that can (or should) be done in a situation like this. Everybody else got off the bus and made sure the other fellow stayed in it until the police arrived, and that's about the best that could have been hoped for.

Glock.

Break glass in case of unprovoked stabbing/Muslim style decapitation.

I carried a G21 for a year in ND (With license). For such things as this. Nothing ever happened that warranted me carrying this, but if I had been on that bus and seen this perhaps Tim would still be alive? Or, perhaps I'd be one of the screaming citizens running away from the scene. Sigh.

I don't mean to start anything-but with spare-time training and a proficient knowledge of the use of a firearm, almost anyone can become able to deal directly with a situation like this, without endangering the public. This man might still be alive if people were more aware of that fact.

I have training to clear out houses and various scenarios of bg's vs innocents, shootouts, and whatnot-and it doesn't take much time or effort to continue training. It's actually quite easy, and fun to get such training, and you may be better equipped to deal with such things as this than some police officers. You know? it's not difficult and it's not dangerous. The life you save might not be your own.

Hey, I know. Lets start a gun debate! Hey. Lets start a Canada vs USA debate. That has never been done on CAA before! Hey, lets post pictures of guns and make all gun owners look like nuts! WEEEEE! Hey. It's ok though. I will save this thread, and guide it to the other side of thread afterlife.
