| - John Derbyshire is a former British, now American commentator. He has been at the forefront of exposing the cowardice of the 15 British sailors captured by Iran. Mr. Derbyshire felt that he would have done much better, theoretically, if put in the same situation. He also has been one of the commentators brave enough to call out the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre of 2007. He decried the fact that none of the students: ~ John Derbyshire Really, all these students had to do was ignore the death screams of their fellow classmates, determine there was only one shooter, deduce the calliber of the weapons, realize that such a weapon needs to hit a major organ to kill you (unless he is using hollow-points), calculate the time needed to relaod, determine the size of the magazines being used, count the number of shots fired by the rampaging killer, then position themselves to jump him during the few seconds while he reloads, and incapacitate him before he puts a bullet in their head at point balnk range. How hard could it be? John Derbyshire does it on his X-Box all the time!
