This thread is intended as a prep thread for the inevitable ISIS / Crazy person shooting that will take place in the US this week. In it we can discuss tactics to avoid getting shot (no gun laws bullshit), where we think it'll happen, and what to do if we / others get shot.

When you're safe from the shooting if people are bleeding you can make a tourniquet that could save lives:

1. Wrap the limb with a rope/belt/bra at least two inches closer to the body than the wound.
2. Place your desired torsion device on top of the overhand knot.
3. Twist the torsion device in one direction until bleeding stops.
4. Secure the tourniquet in place.

My thoughts are that we may see some crazies shoot up Star Wars, but that seems a bit too obvious. Anyone wanna put a wild card out there for this weeks shooting?

Actual advice:

In the event of an active shooter, your priorities are the following:

1. RUN

Get out of the area as quickly as possible. Take others with you only if it does not prevent you from escaping the area.

2. HIDE

If you can't get out of the area, shelter in place. Find a safe room, lock a door, do whatever you need to do to stay covered, hidden and protected.

3. FIGHT

When all else fails you need to fight. Commit to your actions. Your life and the lives of others are literally on the line.

I want to mass shoot fatties, but I'm stymied by the fact that they are characterised by a general refusal to move so there aren't really many places you can find a lot of them in one place. ideas?

Crazy people don't need logic or reason for anything.


We should focus on profiling the shooter(s) in advance using our collective genius!

I will draw the killer using my professional mugshot skills based on a description given by all of us.

I'll start off.

I think the shooter will have a really wide open bug eyed look to them.

real answer: christian. don't specify a type. they probably won't be a catholic, and they might not care if you're a catholic too, but whatever type of christian they are, their religion is deteriorating overall enough that they probably won't mind too much if you're a different denomination or sect, but just to be safe just say christian.

I know what you're probably thinking, "what if they're a muslim? they could be a muslim". you're right! but muslim extremists won't ask "what religion are you", since they usually won't just settle for you being a muslim, they'll want you to be a particular type of muslim, so they'll ask something specific like "how do you pray", or "what is the name of your imam".

I say this with confidence because it has actually happened.

If they have a beard, are brown, and speak with an accent, start quoting the qaran.

If they're a creepy lookin nerd, agnostic is a safe bet.

It'll be a male. Females are practically statistical anomalies when it comes to the rampage, workplace, school and terrorist shooters. I had a sample of 47 incidents and 2 were committed by females and 1 was a male/female team.

Average age tends to be about 32. So mid 20s wouldn't be too far off.

Nope. My sample had to be a shooting that occurred in a public space, had to have had two or more fatalities, and there could not have been a specific target, or if there was, the violence spilled over to non-specific targets. That covered things like the massacre at Seal Beach where the shooter was going after his ex-wife but shot-up the salon she worked at.

Edit: focused on incidents from 2005-2015 in the US.

Don't know about marks but chances are pretty good that they'll wear something dumb like sunglasses, all black, trench-coats and completely unnecessary tactical gear.
