A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.
I recently read about the Fort Hood shooting. One unarmed brave man rushed the shooter but was killed in the act. Another brave man attacked the shooter with a chair (think about that, a chair) but he was also mortally wounded.
Here's your assignment: Google Jeanne Assam. When she heard about a church shooting at a neighboring town she asked the pastor of her church if she could come back for a later service and act as armed security. When her church was indeed targeted, she engaged the shooter and dropped his sorry ass.
A woman. One Hell of a woman, actually.
I will never say the word "coward" again. Instead I will say "Scott Peterson."
