Tell that person he should remain calm. Tell that to the family of the dead boy(who was in a bomb shelter, yet still died from shrapnel making its way through.
People don't stay calm when fired upon, they panic! The feeling of helplessness leads to hatred and it's an endless cycle.

I've been blown up by the IRA twice (close enough to be knocked on my arse and covered in broken glass), been evacuated from numerous stores and buses and lost a few friends on active service in Crossmaglen
