zfolwick said:given the recent events in virginia, I am reminded that courage is the best self-defense weapon. if you think about it, if somebody is fucking around with people, it takes a lot of guts for joe average to jump in and hurt another individual in the name of goodness.
not saying anything about the people involved of course, but this reminded me of the guy that stopped columbine by tackling the fuck outta the guy.
I think that is a different school shooting you are thinking about. Columbine only stopped when the two shooters committed suicide as the police had the school surrounded.
But I do remember a school shooting shortly after Columbine that went down just like you remember. I still remember the photo of thr two boy in the newspaper. They were both wrestlers and when a student (a fat, unpopular kid) started shooting kids in the cafetaria these two charged him from across the room (some kids had already been shot) and took him down hard. The older boy took a bullet in the process but they pinned him and kept him down.
I remember the article and the photo of the wrestler (from like 7 years ago) because of how much I admired him at the time and still do. That guy is my hero.
