86. Are you denying that armed civilians helped keep his head down

while LEO and armed civilians were able to rush the tower? Were you actually at the university that day? If not, then you don't know what LEO wanted. The armed civilians already there were greatly assisting police as detailed below and backed up by a cop that was actually involved.

Approximately 20 minutes after he had first fired from the observation deck, Whitman began encountering return fire from both the authorities and armed civilians who had converged with personal firearms to assist police. It is believed that at this point, he began to fire through waterspouts located upon each side of the tower; allowing him to fire largely protected from gunfire below, but also greatly limiting his range of targets. Ramiro Martinez, an officer who participated in stopping Whitman's rampage, later stated that the civilian shooters should be credited as they made it difficult for Whitman to take careful aim.[citation needed] A police sharpshooter named Marion Lee reported from a small airplane upon which he had been deployed in order to shoot the gunman or gunmen firing from the observation deck that he had observed a single sniper firing from the observation deck. The airplane carrying Lee circled the tower as Lee attempted to shoot the sniper; however, the turbulence proved too great to enable Lee to focus sufficienly to fire upon Whitman. Whitman was himself able to fire upon the airplane, although the airplane was able to continue to circle the tower from a greater radius until the end of the incident.

And there's this from LEO Ramiro Martinez

This makes it pretty clear that armed civilians did play a significant part in taking him down

BTW, I take the term "gun militant" as a compliment, thank you.
