I respect your opinion and your decisions, but still, there's no way of knowing what the criminal intends. If he does not want a fight and you start one, people get hurt needlessly. Of course the opposite holds true also, but I feel passivity is the better way to go, both short-term and long-term. |
Indeed, if you start a fight and fail causing death then it's exactly as being able to prevent it and not doing it. The only time you know for sure is when somebody is actually harmed. That can also be the window of opportunity if while in doing so the aggressor distracts himself. If not, then it doesn't really matter. Besides, it's by playing nice, afraid and scared that you'll get your element of surprise, if that chance ever comes up. Reacting successfully requires having the advantage, without it the best option is definitely to stay put.
I hope I didn't left such a big hole in my post.
