I'd like to think I'm someone who would fight to live, as is being discussed in this thread. But at the same time, in a situation like that where I'm completely unprepared to be shot at, I think immediately collapsing is probably the right strategy. If I keep struggling to escape I'm just gonna get shot again.
- sekh60 5y agoI am thinking back to the quote from Dune: "you've heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap. there's an animal kind of trick. a human would remain in the trap endure the pain feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind."

If I keep struggling to escape I'm just gonna get shot again. In the video the shooter fires repeatedly into the piles of collapsed bodies, and there's a disturbing lack of reactions. Folks survived but I suspect most of those were just lucky to be shielded by others who weren't so lucky.
