Here is something I don’t understand. There were 5 or 6 women. Why did they let him tie them all up? Yes, I know he had a gun, but I think I would rather go down fighting than let someone tie me up and then be able to whatever he wanted.

I don’t know. Maybe they were paralyzed with fear. I think that happens to people, especially women. I’m not saying I would do any different, because I don’t know if anyone really knows what they would do until they were in this kind of situation. I just hope that I would risk ding on the spot rather than become a helpless victim of who-knows-what. That would also give the others a chance to jump the guy or maybe run away.

Oops, I meant “dying on the spot”.

Fear in a stressful situation will do strange things to you. How you think you'd react and how you'd actually react are 2 very different things.

Anyone who’s binding people up with duct tape is up to no good. I’m with you. I’d rather take my chances and maybe come out alive, than be raped and/or tortured to death, or shot execution style.
