From what I've read, both the attacker and Pearsall were shot with the assailants weapon. Statistically, you are more likely to be shot if you resist (without having a gun for defense.) Hard to make any conclusions without the full story, but based on that, RP should'nt have resisted. Sounds like he's lucky to be alive.
Originally posted by CatchMaster80:Being there on Christmas morning was one of the saddest experiences of my life. They don't tend to the cities as everyone is off and clean up after the poor suffering people... It was tragic and a complete wakeup call on how many people are suffering from mental illness and addiction that you don't neccesarily see every day.

Not going to lie but this gives me second thoughts about our family trip there for the Cowboys game. The wife and I have been to the city multiple times but have never brought the kids yet. We haven't been since the monsoon Indy game a few years ago, which we had zero issue, but have heard it's more chaotic now.
San Francisco has one of the lowest crime rates among major cities except for shoplifting. When the DA said they wouldn't prosecute shoplifting it mad headlines and the rest of the country got the impression that crime was rampant in the city. Violent crime rate is lower than many cities in California as well as major cities across the country.

How do you know he wouldn't have been shot if he complied? Sounds like he made the right decision.

A robber wants your valuables. Not your life.

Like any big city there's areas you want to avoid but I visit California a lot and haven't had any issues in San Francisco or anywhere else.
If you're bringing the kids, I'd take them down to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and make a day of it. If you're going to the City then don't have a car full of luggage and stuff, leave all that at the hotel or drive up to Tiburon, park over there and take the Ferry over.
Point Reyes is also nice, I loved going up there as a kid.

Unless they don't want you as a witness.

Games are in Santa Clara where it's pretty safe. Stay away from SF and you'll be fine. Go to Monterey or Napa if you want to go sightseeing.

Fight or flight response is a very real thing. Some people when confronted with violence respond by running, some shutdown and become very compliant in the hopes of peacefully ending the encounter and others will fight like hell.
