Yeah. If your life is threatened like that you’d better fight like there’s no tomorrow.

It’s extremely difficult to make that leap when you’re in a situation like that. Particularly if you are stuck in a car, at close range. Bullets are instant, so unless you can make them miss, you still have to get the door open, and try not to get shot in the back. People are always going to believe that the one bad thing isn’t going to happen, or something is going so save them (like a police car magically showing up). Her actual best chance would have been to speed up and never stop and if she had her seat belt on ram an abutment and hope the airbags are enough to make her prevail in the trauma. Who is going to take that risk?

Naw, not if you have the right mindset. Had she been armed, and had the attitude that her life was more important than her attacker's, things likely would have turned out different. Thugs take the pavement temperature more than one would think from listening to the MSM.

Good point, nobody. When you are helpless in a situation all you can do is hope for the best. Nobody believes they are going to be killed and why destroy your car when you believe that all that is going to happen is that you're going to be robbed......?

As a side note, the nephew of a close friend was attacked and stabbed by an Uber driver back in Dec. 2016 in Bloomfield Michigan for allegedly dissing his car.........

Good tactic to employ, but driver has to first guess if the gun holder has an IQ high enough to understand what will happen to him if he shoots, while at high speed.
