In wake of # GarissaAttack civilians must change
their attitude
When dealing with robbery.. the rule is to
cooperate and chances are you'll leave out of
the situation alive though having lost your
belongings..
so in a robbery situation lifting your hands up
and begging for mercy might work
with Terrorism its different!
there is no amount of begging, pleading, or
bribing that will convince the attacker to let you
go.
The attacker is there to massacre, and not just
you but en-mass with as much casualties and
lives lost as possible.
A thief is stealing to better his life alive, so the
thief is not ready to die or go to jail. On the
other hand a terrorist is ready to die and has
come for the mission prepared to lay their life.
147 lives lost at Garissa University by the hand
of only 4 gunmen
The picture I have in mind is: the university has
many rooms from lecture halls, to hostels, to
dining hall and so on.
given it was early in the morning, this means
most of the students were in their cubicles..
Imagine being in the 10th cubicle and you hear
screams in cubicle 1, shootings and your fellow
comrades lose their lives, then the gun man
goes to cubicle 2, 3, 4, 5..
Isn't there any defense mechanism the persons
in cubicle 6,7,8,9, 10 could have used to at
least take down one of the gun men?
Even by using crude weapons like hot iron box,
a stove, a burner, hot water.. such that when
the gun mans storms in on the latter cubicle(s)
they can indiscriminately attack the gun man,
some may lose their life.. some may survive.
Choosing how to die..
When a terrorist attacks with a gun you can
choose to die fleeing to nowhere in a four
walled room or you can choose to use whatever
crude method to stop the gun man.. whether it
involves hugging him, throwing water at him,
running towards him, knocking him down.. or
whatever.. when your attacker has a gun..
distance is your enemy.. the closer you get to a
person with a long range shooting gun.. the less
useful his weapon is..
its the high time we wake up and raise the little
"jack bauer " within us and as such, we can
choose to die fighting or we can flee to nowhere
and still get shot anyway with seven bullets
lodged on our back.
IN SUMMARY:
When caught in a terrorist situation: it's not
time to beg the maggots for mercy. It's time to
attack them and do whatever it takes to stop
them!
Lets start telling a different story, as of now the
terrorist only threat is the state security.. but if
the civilians are equally a threat.. the terrorists
will think twice before they attack.
