t least as far as it takes to find something to bludgeon them with and quietly return to crush a few skulls...
My daughter and I wouldn’t be walking in the dark without some means of defense.
Yeah find something to bludgeon the 5 thugs at least one armed with a gun.
Now if they forced the father to stay and watch, you could argue that he should have fought to the death despite the near impossible odds. But they told him to leave which gave him a chance to try to get real help for his daughter. He made the correct decision.
