So yes the ammo room is absolutely the priority over protecting the blind girl from the prisoner who's chained to a wall.

Who's going to "MAKE SURE" Hope is safe? safe from what? what's the threat? the hypothetical assault on the tower? when angel ran out of the room, he had no reason to believe that Hope was in any danger.

Once again crowbar, we have hindsight on this issue, you're blaming Angel for going after the armory instead of guarding hope. At that point in time, Angel had reason to believe the armory was being raided, and he had no reason to believe that Hope was in any danger. Could he have told hope that he'd be right back? yeah sure that would be nice, but surely you realize that in times of crisis or when there's heavy pressure on you sometimes people make small mistakes, this was a small thing that he forgot to do, Even if he told her to hide that wouldnt have done her any good, she's blind, she cant do that by herself. If he had taken the time to hide her before he left, then the raider of the armory woulda gotten away. Also what reason did he have to hide her? he had none, there was no threat to hope. there was no reason to hide her. Had angel NOT gone after the armory I'm sure you would have bashed him for that too, oh he fails as a leader because he wants other people to do his job for him.
Man,
I'm going to have my own page of comments after this.
I see that you can't see the danger presented. There's an emotional attachment now, so it's like talking religion or politics now.
I'm not using hindsight. My original thought when Angel ran from the room was WTF! I was expecting Pippen to throttle Hope.
Secondly, I used my experience from my time a cop in the USAF. I'm/was BISS certified (Base Installation Security Systems) which means watching a monitor bank that's linked to storage units containing Nukes, perimeter fences, buildings and coordinating responders during any perimeter breach or ALARM. Same system they used in Nuclear reactors in the mid 90's
So, it's not hindsight i'm employing.
I won't go over what I've already said because it's not soaking in. That's cool. We all are entitled to our opinions.
I will comment on the part where you say Angel wouldn't catch a break from me no matter which way he went (paraphrasing you).
That's where you're incorret. I don't think he should have left in the first place. You never "React" to a situation. You always "Act" to one.
