There could be a hero living next door. Unfortunately, there are monsters in the neighborhood as well. Author Chris Bird tells us about them both in his new book “Surviving a Mass Killer Rampage: When Seconds Count, Police Are Still Minutes Away”. We’ve lived with violence for a long time, but recently we’ve studied it in greater detail. Chris summarizes what works and what doesn’t to stop mass murdereres. The book tells us how we should change our daily activities, and change our politicians. There are both heroes and villains in this story.The book is easy to read. Chris Bird doesn’t sensationalize the story at all, but I still felt as if I were reading a multi-chapter monster-thriller. The frightening part wasn’t that evil murderers exists. The painful part was that we didn’t learn from past examples. It felt like I was watching the innocent hero walk into the monster’s trap again. That makes for great theater, but makes for horrible public policy. We’ve seen both the general public, and public officials, fail to learn these violent lessons.. lessons paid for with blood. Chris Bird’s book helps change that. Now we know our violent history. Now the heroes can win.Mass murderers attack people in so called “gun-free” zones. “Gun-free” zones are not “gun-free” once a murderer decides to break the law. And a plastic sign does nothing to stop them. The history is clear. Our schools, our churches, and our hospitals have been targeted and attacked before. They will be again. Just because we don’t know about the history of violence doesn’t make these sanctuaries a safe place. Now we know. Now we can make them safe.Scholars in law enforcement learned a lot from these violent attacks. They uncovered what would stop the killing and save the injured.
