I have now officially heard it all; Human waves of first graders [View all]

I remember when conservatives thought this was a less than optimal tactic when Iran did it with their kids against Iraq.

The website is remarkably aptly named I must say.

I'd also like us to encourage people to gang rush shooters, rather than following their instincts to hide; if we drilled it into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly, because even a guy with a very powerful weapon can be brought down by 8-12 unarmed bodies piling on him at once.
