Put up a fight! Struggle! Scream at the top of your lungs! I'll be damned if I let some guy take me. So he says he has a gun or a knife and he's going to use it on me. Go for it asshole. But I'm sure as hell not letting you take me anywhere.

Dude she was 11 years old. Children do not think with the same logic as we do. Children do no comprehend the concept of death very well (even at 11, at least in a situation like that). It is a distant concept that only happens to old people and sick people. The idea that if she doesn't put up a fight she will quite possibly "cease to exist" is just not there.
I'm not saying you're not right, but you have to understand she's a child. The fact she didn't put up enough of a fight isn't misunderstandable at all and it's not something to get upset at. You're right, it's good to put up a fight of some sort and it most certainly does increase your chances of survival. But....she's a child for God's sake. When I see/hear about a child not putting up a fight, I don't get upset that they didn't, because how could they know or understand? Their brains are simply not wired that way yet. Personally, I find it to be simply sad...a person so innocent, not even able to truly comprehend the concept of their own death in order to understand the possible outcomes of what's happening to them. Very sad.

On a side not - and I don't mean to take away from the sadness of an occurance like this BY ANY MEANS - this world, unfortunately, hasn't gone anywhere. Things like this have always happened and will always continue to happen. We're just much more aware of it thanks to our advances in spreading news.
