As far as fighting back, I'll echo what one of my professors said: "We never know what we'll do when something like that happens. I would like to think that I would stay behind, blocking the doors so the class could escape. But then again, I might just push you out of the way and escape myself. You never know how you'll react until it happens" He's a great guy, and I have no doubt about which option he'd take.

The problem with a lot of college students is that they don't know how to react to things logically. The people that barricaded the door did just fine, yet others didn't. Maybe some people didn't get the chance to fight back, we'll never know. I pray that nothing like that happens here so that I can find out what I'm made of.
