They are clearly not super human. Columbine's Harris and Klebold retreated pretty quickly in the face of return fire. These criminals always look for the path of least resistance. The problem in this scenario is that if you are one of the three of seventeen unarmed resistors who gets shot you become a 100% statistic. I don't like the idea of unarmed resistance because that's a virtual guarantee that someone is going to get hurt badly.
