A very fair point. But I think at the same time we have a responsibility to judge, to evaluate the efficacy or lack of same in an effort to prepare ourselves for similar situations should they arise.

Eg., recall the Aurora, CO cinema shooting? As luck would have it, Piers Morgan found a pair of survivors willing to go on the record. Turned out Jamie Rohrs was there with his fiancé, her daughter & their baby. When the shooting started Jamie stashed the baby under a seat & skedaddled. He actually got into his truck & drove away, until his fiancé, whom a total stranger helped to exit (during which her savior took a bullet in the leg), called him to return.

The very small minority who defend Rohrs's actions say: We shouldn't judge because we don't know what we'd do in a similar situation!

Okay. It's possible I would boogie as Rohrs did, leaving my family behind. But if I did, if anyone did that, it would still be a total fail.

If a bag of money dropped off a Brinks truck maybe I'd keep it. Does that make doing so right?

Don't get me wrong. I have no confidence I'd do everything right, whatever that means, in a situation like the theater shooting. And Rohrs's luck was that Morgan wasn't looking for stories of epic cowardice, he just wanted to talk to the first survivors who'd go on record. It happened to them. Makes one wonder how many other people react the way Rohrs did without their stories ever going public.

Great piece. I hope you stay safe. There is no excuse for the kind of behavior Dell showed.

I'll have to check out the series....
