Many of us in this forum, take real life situations as an opportunity to learn.bdickens wrote:It would be nice if everybody had the same luxuries that most of us do about when and where they have to be.
We can take from these examples and put our love ones and our selves in the same situation and try figure out what will keep them and us alive. We can not make judgments on those actually involved because we don't know all the facts, nor the people involved. True, we don't know that the girls weren't nurses working the late shift on a Holiday and had to stop for food at 2:30am on the way home because their refrigerator wasn't working. The AC in their mustang might not have working and the windows were broke and wouldn't go down on their Mustang. Somehow I get the feeling though that if they had followed a forum such as this, that discussed situational awareness. This whole thing might have been avoided.
Every cloud does have a silver lining, I know I am reminded once again about the importance of situational awareness, even though I'm not a prime target for sexual assault. One thing we can be clear on though, is that the girls should be commended for clear thinking after the fact.
I for one have been on the road and hungry because of an emergency, and have stopped for fast food, I keep all windows up except to speak to Jack, and to pay and get my food, I also keep one hand on the grip of my sidearm while going through the drive through. To bad the girls didn't do the same. Its not that I'm superior to those those I'm just better educated in part because of this forum reading how these scenarios breakdown.
