- Well, I certainly agree about staying out of the coffin. But I
- think abandoning the car is exactly the right thing to do in
- most of these situations. In the shooting outside the CIA the
- other day for example, nobody abandoned their vehicles.
- Everybody hung in there at the stoplight while the gunman
- strolled back along the line of stopped cars, methodically
- perforating five drivers. You stick with your car if you like.
- I'm getting out of the kill zone.
