A woman goes off with knives in a Target store.  You see her stab 
someone and then manage to get outside before she comes for you.

Do you

b) Broadcast it on twitter

c) Go to the BevMo downstairs and buy liquor

Entertainment journalist Allison McNamara was shopping at the store 
when she encountered a screaming woman in the aisle that separated 
the skin-care and kitchen sections.

"She was yelling 'I'm bipolar. There's no witness protection program.' "
McNamara said she watched helplessly as the woman plunged a knife 
into the upper back and shoulder of a male shopper. He had crouched 
down and covered up to fend off the blows, she said.

"You could see where the knife was going into his back. The knife had 
ridges and a tag on it. She was going as fast and strong as she 
could. Four to 6 inches were covered in blood. She looked like she 
was going to stab everyone there," McNamara said.

Moments later, the woman looked straight at McNamara, who immediately 
bolted out of the store with other shoppers and employees. McNamara 
immediately sent out a Twitter message telling people what she had seen.
