    Default We opened our breasts against the bullets

    A photo has been given prominence here, I don't know if it has in the USA:
    Tourist staff describe how they formed human shield against gunman during attack on western tourists in Sousse
    Others confronted him, one dropped roof tiles on the gunman.

    Moncef Myel, builder who threw roof tiles atgunman, flooring him, allowing police to catch up. "It was my duty as a Muslim"

    Sorry, the photo refuses to copy here; please check the cited article.

    Early comments here asked why the men did not tackle the lone gunman.

    Some of the news reports here have referred to ordinary citizen action, as Muslims and Tunisians:
    Hotel staff formed a line of protection around the hotel. They were prepared to take the bullets for us. You can't thank them enough

    These actions are not unknown. They happened in Paris and long ago @ Luxor.
