MAKING DECISIONS as to "HOW TO REACT" to attack!
Reader comment on item: How Would You React to a Terror Attack?

Submitted by Christian, Mar 22, 2016 18:15

My reaction to ANY type of lethal or intimidating, or threatening action would TOTALLY depend on #1] The TYPE of attack; #2] the attacker[s?]; #3] The place of the attack; #4] My conditions, (whether I'm armed, [with ANY sort of weapon]; AND WHAT type of weapon I have; -- AND who, besides me, is threatened, and WHAT my abilities make possible.

ALL of these "circumstancial realities" have a DIRECT impact on my decision making...no matter HOW fast & hard the attack! I'd STILL be calculating, AS I resisted...or...fled.

As to the above scenario, I'd take into account the various particulars, AS I sought cover, -- which I WOULD do FIRST; {and I'd HOPE I had the necessary weaponry}!

BUT, I WOULD DEFINITELY do my best to utilize COVER, ...both, (for getting a "take"/"view" of the attack scene),... AND, (in order to better determine what sort of response I could/should make).

"ATTACK RESPONSE" is NOT about being a "HERO", it IS about making proper decisions, in REAL WORLD REALITIES, and doing my best to "get it right"! For the sake of myself and others.
