re: #105 Tanker J.D.

I don’t know… I think it signals that I think we’re facing an intractable situation, and picking on McArdle just makes you feel better rather than facing the bad situation.

“Picking on McArdle?” Sure, let’s treat this like a serious suggestion instead.

How many kids do you think it would have taken to stop Adam Lanza by gang rushing him? And what sort of training would you propose to overcome the natural instinct to run the fuck away? Wouldn’t they also need training in climbing over the increasing pile of bodies in front of them?

These are serious issues and we shouldn’t just pick on poor defenseless Megan McArdle.
