Actually if I had a machine gun I could take out the people on the tracks before the trolley even reached them, not to mention the bystanders, oh yeah that'd be really convenient. Oh oh! Wait! What if I had a grenade launcher? I could blast them to cinders before they even knew what hit them! Can I have a grenade launcher? No no no, a flamethrower! That'd really rain some hell down on them! Imagine the screams! The carnage! Imagine the torrent of fire, spitting melted death onto the innocent, flesh melting off their--hey, who are you!? What are you doing kicking down my door!? Get out of my house, this is private property! I'm not under arrest, YOU'RE under arrest! No I won't stop typing as I talk! Get those handcuffs away from--AGGGHHH!
