Global marketplace for the most part. You're not really taking $ out of their pockets by not buying from them. Someone else around the globe will.
true but we still buy at global market prices which means OPEC still has a serious influence on our energy policy
which sucks but at least that makes more sense than idiots who say we need to support Israel for biblical raisins
it's really difficult to say how people, even yourself, would react in this situation if you've never been in it. it is really easy when you are calm and safe to offer conjecture as to how you'd react or do things differently, but in that situation you're not thinking clearly, you're terrified, you're running on pure adrenaline, and herd mentality and the safety of the group largely plays into it, too. nobody wants to be the "hero" who gets a whole lot of other people killed, they want to believe that if they comply they might be safe, and more importantly if they don't move, they disappear, they won't be singled out, they'll be forgotten. people do weird things when their life is threatened, especially in such a terrifying way, especially if they've never had training for it.
not that you were specifically referring to you, but just generally it's hard to say and any particular crowd in one town or location may react differently from another crowd.
I go to shows all the time, and I definitely don't prepare myself before I go with how I'd react in a terrorist situation (I do have other weird anxieties that I do obsess over in various situations, but I doubt I'm the norm) and honestly while I'd like to believe if I thought I had a shot at stopping someone I'd take it, it was a full theater of unarmed civilians vs a handful of armed terrorists with no opportunity to speak to plan any sort of coordinated effort; if you rushed and took down one, there were several others to kill you and then take it out on the rest. with the stakes so high and the likelihood of effecting aactual positive change in the situation, it doesn't surprise me and I could easily see that happening here, depending on where.

shit even when you've had 7.62 rounds flying over your head you might not know how you'll react the second time
this is supposedly one of the shields used by police during the attack
you're probably right
I dunno. people are fucked up
ew they evacuated the soccer match in germany but they found a bomb or something.

I didn't. I was super busy yesterday and didn't get home from work until 9:30. Woke up this morning and headed back to work.
