There is nothing ridiculous in asking how other people envision reacting in this situation. I'm happy the guy stopped a mugging. I know some may suspect I have ulterior motives in deprecating this event, but I am just curious if the actions were lucky or well thought out and how applicable they are. So far I have one person telling me that a mugger wielding a knife at 15 feet is unstoppable, and another saying that a gun pressed up against the temple is escapable. What do you think?

If you don't like my questions, feel free to join in or add your perspective or rebut them beyond just insults since I don't value your opinion when that is all you have to contribute. As I said, I agree with your statement of the "reality" and just wish to think about it a bit more.
