As indicated in a prior reply, my response was for a single person against a superior force(s).
Obviously, my response is not a blanket rule for all situations. When there are two of us against a superior force, that’s when things become more complex. The Alamo, they clearly decided, and had the time to decide, to sacrifice themselves for a greater good.
One good (G) against one bad (B) - fight or flight depending on the circumstances.
1G against two or more B - consider flight.
1G + vulnerable friend against 1B - consider flight, but might change.
And on and on.
There far too many scenarios to consider here and all the associated dynamics. I know exactly what I would do wherever I go and who is with me. I think it through as much as I can, ahead of time. Traveling with wifey? I am continually considering security in most if not all situations. It comes naturally with driving as well. If walking with wifey/family, where should I position myself to minimize harm to her, scanning around for possible “looks”, movement, etc. I enjoy doing this.
yes.
