What the latest "mass" shooting tells us.

I've been watching the news and the interviews of survivors of the latest "mass" shooting, workplace violence, whatever you want to call it.  I've come to one very disturbing conclusion.

Many of my fellow citizens are indeed sheep.

I don't say this with joy or a "I told ya so" attitude.

I say this with shock.

A person was walking around the Navy Yard, shooting people.  Hopefully we'll see reports where people fought back gallantly.  Hopefully we'll hear reports of people deciding that fleeing was the better part of valor.

Instead what I'm hearing is that people simply "sheltered in place."!!!!!

A killer is on the loose and you huddle in your office under a desk praying that he won't come kill you?

You do the most passive thing possible instead of reverting to the natural FIGHT OR FLIGHT instinct?

What the fuck is happening to us????  Correction.  What the fuck is happening to them?
