Ben Carson was asked what he'd do, and his response was to say if everyone attacked the shooter he couldn't kill them all.
The media roundly tried to claim he was criticizing the victims which he wasn't & that he was an idiot which he is not.
Only a month ago in France 3 Americans stopped a MAJOR terrorist attack when a man with huge ammunition on a train was tackled & attacked just before he could start a massacre.
These Americans were given awards by France, heralded as heroes by everyone, thanks by all, and even given awards at the white house & met with Obama.

What Ben Carson said is to do exactly what they did......
How can the media go from calling 3 men heroes & brave & great men while calling Ben Carson an idiot for advocating others act like them in a similar situation?
It does not make sense.
Now the media are attacking him for saying Hitler took away people's guns before the holocaust.
They're saying guns wouldn't have prevented the holocaust! he's an idiot, when he never stated guns would prevent the holocaust.
The simple question is this. If guns didn't matter & wouldn't have made it difficult for Hitler..
Why did they take people's guns away?
Why did they make sure people weren't armed before they rounded them up?
These are the type of questions the media won't raise.
Look at Afghanistan, the United States military the most highly trained individuals for such a job struggled on the ground against the Taliban who were a bunch of cavemen with some guns.
If it's that easy to overpower people with guns, why was it so difficult for them in Afghanistan?
Truth is Ben Carson is now likely to be the Republican nominee or Trump's VP.
And they have to make him out to be such an idiot that people would feel socially uncomfortable to say they support him so he doesn't gain traction or gain the GOP democrat voters. And this is why they're doing what they are.
Let me give you two examples from the past two days....
This is a surgeon who has saved HUNDREDS of lives. He's a good guy, very polite. This really seems odd...so what is it about?
Well a few days ago polls showed Carson beat every Democrat in a head to head by some distance....
When people fully get behind someone it is difficult to change their minds, so when people just casually prefer someone at an early stage you have an opportunity to change their minds.
And this impression which is a 1st real real impression sticks the longest. So people may have seen or heard Ben Carson a little, but magnifying him so large that everyone is now talking about him means it's the 1st time many & a lot of people will fully take notice...
And they're making it hugely negative like fuck him, he believes guns could have prevented the holocaust, he's a nut! he blames victims of school shootings! He is a crazy Christian who hates science etc etc.
None of it is true, but that's psychology that works for the masses.
Hell, just the other day a story claimed he left a sponge in someone's brain during one surgery and someone sued him for it. This is designed to make him look like a clown an idiot a dangerous person. The truth of the matter is surgeons leave a sponge like object to pad things away, and for some people can have a reaction to that. But the stories never explain things like this because they know most people only read the headline.
We're in a bad culture if people like this damage great men like Ben Carson.
