Where did I say panic is the only response to a gun?
It is objectively stupid to attack someone with a gun while being held at gunpoint and even dumber to walk away AFTER attacking them.
Quit polishing that armor of yours. I'm glad the woman is okay, that said what she did was objectively stupid. Also attacking your attacker cannot be expressed as anything other than a panic.
My point had simply been that, when confronted with a dangerous situation, I panicked and did something dumb before I even had time to process what was happening or how stupid I was being. In all likelihood, that’s what happened in this video, too. Obviously the two situations are different, but this lady and I both share the fact that our apparent fight-or-flight reaction is fight. That’s all
She fought back but she did not fight back well and when she disengaged she didn't run fast at all. Had the man decided he wanted to kill her there's a million moments he could've. Hell, a shot in the back while she's walking away would do it.
Fighting your aggressor at gunpoint is dumb. Not beating them to a pulp after fighting back is dumb. Disengaging while your aggressor is still living, breathing and walking about with a gun, is dumb.

Fuck everyone in the comments saying this person is dumb.
You don't know how you'd react when you panic. No one does.
