Wussification + Anti-Gun Hysteria = Death
November 2, 2013
One of the networks interviewed a young man in his twenties this morning who came upon the LAX shooter as he was standing there reloading. The interviewee said (paraphrasing), “I saw that he was reloading so I ran away as fast as I could.”
Given that LAX is always incredibly crowded, this young man could not have been the only man in the vicinity when the skinny, geeky-looking shooter was reloading. Yet no one tackled him, slugged him over the head with a suitcase, etc. This would appear to add weight to Fred Reed’s column this week about the “wussification” of American boys courtesy of the government indoctrination academies.
