Default Safer in Canada with no guns

A man traveling by bus between Winnepeg and Edmonton was decapitated and gutted with a big knife by the passenger sitting next to him.

And, rather then stop the murderer, everybody got off the bus screaming.

To be fair, running away from a murderer with a knife is pretty normal.

In the interest of self-preservation, wouldn't most people chose flight, over fight in that situation?

Which is why we aren't anywhere near the caliber of character that our parents and grandparents are.

No - he was 1 man with a knife... 2 or 3 adult males with some pieces of luggage or one man with a tyre iron would have been able to disable that nutjob.

Actually because someone near by may have been carrying a weapon it is unlikely the the crazy guy would have even tried his attack - the possibility someone may be armed is he real deterant.

Not really, it's called satire. And i know that not everyone, or many in fact, would find it funny, but the reason i said it is because the guy above me glorified the use of guns, and so did you.
The other reason i said it is that in most places people are racist, no matter where you go in the world

That is about the most opulent prejudice I've seen here recently. Over the top, have a week off to consider your words. Read the rules in the mean time.
