I guess people are loosing their common sense? What would be the point of running at a guard? This is as silly as when people pull knives or guns on police every one from a child on knows they are armed and will shoot you or if they can take it off you, arrest you. These guards and police are here to help us all, and protect us, why would someone attack them? Are we becoming this radicalized by the Lieberal/NDP?
The NDP/liberals should be outlawed only conservatives shall rule the country.
