I don't know if this has been mentioned here but there was an unbelievable calmness in the thousands of people at President Trump's Butler, PA rally. When gunshots rang out and we saw our President go down, most also went down, took cover. Seconds seemed like hours, even if you were watching on TV. When he rose up and raised his fist in the air triumphantly, so did the crowd with cheers of joy.
What happens in a crowed movie hall if someone yells "FIRE!" or in any type of a possible mass shooting scenario? The most human response is to run to escape, causing a mass stampede towards the exit, trampling people on the way. That did not happen at this rally. There was a calm, orderly exiting.
There could have been massive death and chaos given the thousands of MAGA attendees in a relatively confined space. The Trump supporters there, I believe were foremost concerned for the President's wellbeing over their own safety concerns. I am so proud of how most MAGA believers conduct themselves with dignity, control, commonsense and respect for their fellow citizens. We are proving to America, we are not what the left wants others to believe. We do NOT riot and destroy our own towns and cities, we do not back down and we will NOT give up on defending America. WWG1WGA!
People did. No one knows what they will do, but I am 100 percent on board with the notion of people running towards the guy with the gun. That would be awesome and it is a dream. The reverse however where we think people automatically panic and run away as we see in movies and cities like Chicago is far fetched to.
If someone yells fire in a movie theatre (these days no one is in the movies) I still don’t believe people would run and stampede.
When 9/11 happened (regardless of why) we seen many calm people. We even seen calm people jumping off of the building because they refused to go out burning. They chose jumping.
Will people stampede. Yes and that is why we should stay away from leftists mostly peaceful protests.
