But there's nature. That's why I say, if you haven't experienced mortal danger, you can't give informed judgment. I understand them perfectly well. Carson doesn't. And therein lies the problem and the reason for the ridicule.
I know. I'm not berating the actions of the victims, but I think we should try to prepare ourselves mentally for a situation like this these days. If you've thought it over beforehand and planned, you're more likely to act in a certain manner if you encounter a situation. That's one of the benefits of training for anything. That why we get the advice to run if we're forced at gunpoint to enter a vehicle. Ben Carson was asked a question as to what he would do in that situation and he gave an honest and reasonable reply.
