Again, I SAID it was normal human behavior to run. 90% of the population would probably do the SAME thing in that situation. I don't know how I would react in a situation like that. Nobody really does until they go through it.

And I'm not saying that they SHOULD have done something. All I'm saying is that the attitude to 'run cause the guy is dead anyways'....is wrong. And pathetic. Everyone can say all they want how someone 'helping' could have made the situation worse. Well, I'm saying someone 'helping'...might have given the victim a fighting chance. But of course, now we'll never know.

Hitting a 'vital' place on the neck, or anywhere else on your body is harder than the movies make it out to seem. We've both seen hockey players cut their neck open on skate blades but still survive.
