Yes, I think that when one punk pulls out a gun, and kills someone, others around him may be so shocked as to comply. How did so few Nazis control so many prisoners? Intimidation. You screw up, I kill you and the person next to you. You may not care so much about them killing you, but the fact they threaten someone else for you actions can be quite compelling.
5’3” 125lbs....did you see Soto and the other kid Hooper, hell even the girl Charlie had about 50 or so lbs. on him. Not buying these poor scared children! They should ALL fry!
I just reread your reply. I am guessing you did not read the story. Bargo did not just pull out a gun and shoot. They, ALL of them beat the crap out of him first, he survived the first assault and tried to escape.
And there is NO excuse ever for perpetrating any act like this, it would seem to me that a person with an ounce of conscience would not even think to be involved in such a thing in the first place.
