God I love the lies people tell to themselves. Seriously there is absolutely no way of knowing for certain what you’d do unless you were actually put in that situation and there is a very good chance you are not part of that small percentage of human population that would give themselves up. You’re just lying to yourself to say that you’d give yourself up for sure.</p>
<p>lol at James. I totally and completely agree haha. My math class is a bunch of IDIOTS. And my every other class, but still. :)</p>
<p>Hmm…realistically, the dude wouldn’t care what you said. He’d probably kill me anyway, so, eh…I think I’d just lunge for the gun/swipe a smart kick somewhere/pinch one of those unconsciousness-inducing nerves of ancient Asian wisdom lol. And if I die, then poo. At least I’ll live on in everyone’s respectful memories.</p>
<p>And if life operated in truth and truth and the gunman seriously would behave in this theoretically moral-testing manner, then the only time I would gladly sacrifice myself is when I knew everyone else would do the same for me. Otherwise…ah…no. 
I would refuse to die as it is for a bunch of…asterisks.</p>
<p>
Welcome to statistics, jkaufman. :D</p>
<p>Hmm…I would probably either try to make him turn his back and then disarm him, or make a frontal attack. I wouldn’t have the time to think about it…</p>
<p>Lol @ whoever said lockdown. In my school lockdown drills are always a matter of “well, the window’s in plain sight, and the walls are the thickness and consistency of really thick cardboard,” so…</p>
<p>Gunman, do some good for the world and kill my entire physics class.</p>
<p>Or me, so I don’t have to survive another quarter and a half of physics.</p>
<p>i would use my karate skills to disarm the gun
or die trying, at least</p>
<p>All of you are forgetting the most profound question of all: How did the gunman come to our class in the first place? A flaw in law? In China we never hear students getting shot by gunman…</p>
<p>^Well it is a really difficult process. First, they have to go all the way to the garage in their house and grab their dad’s gun. Then they actually have to own a coat or a hat to hide it in (<em>shocker</em>) and then they have to somehow walk into the class that they do everyday and the shooting commences. Come on a flaw in the law??? The shooter kills themselves every time anyways so no law will stop them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I choose himself.</p>
<p>
Never would I sacrifice my life for others. The psychological game doesn’t work with me. He has the gun in his hand, he pulls the trigger, he kills, he makes the decisions, not I. However, I probably would try to attempt something “noble” (but not doing it for the sake of nobility, instead doing it for the fact that I am probably ****ed off at this gunman), and if I took his gun, well…If any of you saw Inglourious Basterds, and what the Bear Jew does to Hitler…</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>
You don’t “hear” about a lot of things in China.</p>
<p>^Yeah, that commie government suppresses facts about random people come to classes and shooting students.
Or perhaps they just have strict gun control</p>
<p>First ask him where he would shoot me (or the others). If all choices are fatal, then stare him down and not answer.</p>
<p>Side-stepping the question: anyone want to guess at the legality of a situation like this? Like, if a person told the gunman to shoot someone else, and then the gunman did so and went to another classroom, couldn’t the person be tried for some degree of murder?</p>
<p>^What about self defense?</p>

<p>No. </p>
<p>I don’t know exactly what law would prevent you from being charged (maybe it’s self-defense?), but I promise you there is one. Ask on some legal forum.</p>
<p>
Understatement of the year. And thanks for kind of highlighting my point.</p>
<p>^No clue what that means.</p>
<p>Dude I live in Hong Kong… You can haz my fail.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ahem, I meant to say this^</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>All hit locations are fatal (except maybe the hand or foot) unless you get help fast.</p>
