...anyone laughing out loud at what's inside the Lampoon (and how often do you see that?), it is probably McClelland's doing, too.

The answer probably lies in the power of a gun; the helpless victims were evidently paralyzed by the thought that the assailant might shoot them before any move could succeed...
