I seem to recall an airplane full of people who knew that they were being hijacked. After a few phone calls to family, they found out what was really going on, and instead of just sitting there in fear, they grabbed a drink cart and said, 'Let's roll'.
Yes and in all the previous history of hijackings such a tactic would have been foolish in the extreme, only upon the realization that they were on a suicide flight did they make the right decision to bum rush the hijackers.
Again, circumstances dictate tactics.

Carson is right.
No Carson isn't right as the examples I provided above amply demonstrate. A bum rush of elementary school students at Sandy Hook would have done nothing. Again, circumstances dictate tactics.
What would you rather do? Cower in a corner and wait to die? He said that everyone there should rush the shooter, sounds smart to me. The police agree with him.
The problem is not necessarily that advice, the problem is that when he actually faced the situation, that's NOT what HE did at all. And he doesn't even seem to understand that he has totally contradicted himself. You know who we're dealing with in Ben Carson? Sheldon Cooper.

Ben thinks it's a good idea for YOU to rush a gunman, HIM.....not so much.
I'm not gong to judge Carson for what he did. Every situation is different. I probably wouldn't rush a robber either, because there's a good chance he'll take the money and go...
But there's a difference between a robber and someone who is just indiscriminately killing people for no reason.
None of this surprises me. Just because someone can perform surgery, it doesn't mean they are ready for politics. Politics involves dealing with people. Surgery involves a medical profession.
How can a man with healing hands but so clueless and idiotic when it comes to politics?
His ignorance is impressive. He would rush a mass murder? The guy can barely keep his eyes open.
..and when it was revealed he had a gun drawn on him, he told the gunman..."I think you want to go after the cashier"
Damn shame this fine surgeon is an idiot.
Geeze, tell us how your really feel? I think there is more to your rant than what he may have said or did say, for that matter. But I will drop it there. As for his eyes, has it dawned on you that is just his mannerism. Not everyone is wide eyed and bushy tailed all the time. To me and I am not supporting him, he resembled someone that is in deep thought much of the time. Maybe that is trait we should all work on.

Have you seen the current state of our politics in this country?
I think maybe it's time we get some people in there who haven't yet been corrupted by the current system...
If someone IS ready for politics, well that's a turn off to me.
Of course he did, he should have shut his mouth and showed a little respect to the families of the deceased, he just wanted to jack his jaws and talk tough to primary voters.
You are just over thinking what he said, don't be so paranoid, he wasn't insulting the people who died, he was suggesting a change in mindset in these situations and he is right.

No the problem is the media is looking for a way to knock him out of the running and the ignorant sheep are following. He wasn't involved in a mass shooting every situation is different you people are so eager to put him down you don't even try to think before you speak.
