Unfortunately, all I can envision is them lying on the ground under some vicious terrorist, yelling "SAFE SPACE! SAFE SPACE!"
“in a kill-or-be-killed situation”
Not gonna be kill-or-be-killed....it’ll be “got killed” period.
Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity. ~ Robert Anson Heinlein
Some people cannot be protected from themselves.
The real problem is these people have ZERO concept of the need for self-survival skills. I’m not talking about being able to fight their way out of a hand-to-hand combat situation. We’ve had times when the power was out for more than half an hour, and they are completely helpless. They honestly have NO idea how to fend for themselves, and worse, no problem-solving/trouble-shooting/creative-thinking skills to get around even a simple barrier like no electricity. So, instantaneously, they are lost souls looking for somebody to take care of them. It’s more than a little pathetic when the power has only been out about an hour, and already people are panicking because the microwave won’t work, and they have no ability to problem-solve fixing a meal. Heaven forbid they “just make do.” And that’s with them knowing it’s temporary, and the power will come back on. I’m with you, I weep to think of what we’d be up against in a real crisis, having to rely on these snowflakes. They are instantaneous victims.
