I think I remember this kind of attitude among airline employees and passengers before 9/11.
I simply cannot understand that you would try to cooperate with someone who has invaded the sanctity of your home. At what point is a decision made to fight back? Before they tie you up and rape your daughter, or after?
These thoughts just confirm what I already know. Americans (for the most part) are independent and prefer not to rely on someone else for anything, especially self-protection. This general attitude does not exist in Europe. The thought of running away and hiding under my bed if someone invaded my house is absurd.
As an aside, the best way that I know of not getting shot by somebody is to shoot them before they have a chance, not cooperate with them.
