Forget the 26-year-old zero who murdered 10 innocents at Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning.

The Chris to remember is 30-year-old Chris Mintz, the student and Army vet who was shot at least five times while charging straight at the gunman in an effort to save others.

Mintz did so on the sixth birthday of his son, Tyrik.

Appraud effort but not too smart ..
confucious say " he who runs toward bullet .. Run straight to hell !"

But were they really acting as heroes or merely more cops looking for an easy kill?!?

Sorry couldn't resist since that seems to be the norm these days...

I disagree. When someone's going to kill you anyway, better to go on the offensive and hope to get lucky.

Yep, nothing to lose.

There is something to lose, your life.

Look, I've been in the situation before. Shooter had an AK fully loaded and I had a pistol. Reports were multiple shooters. So, I had a choice, run out guns a blazin with a 9MM and 15 rounds against multiple AK's or survive to get home to a wife and kids.

Until you've been in the situation, you have no clue.

There's a difference in your situation, and a guy that's putting a bullet in everyones head and you're in line.

Of course if you can take cover and barricade that's always the smartest action. Doesn't sound to me like this was the case here.

Yes bad timing for a joke but not far from the truth these days which is actually fact, not opinion.

It's not just terrorists & cowards such as the one in this story killing innocent peoples these days.

Cops are doing it too...
