i would rather be shot or stabbed in a parking lot... than raped and killed somewhere else... im sure she gave in thinking that her daughter might be safe.
resist and fight...your chances are better.

He had an ankle monitor on that he tampered with so he could go out and do this and the company admits others have gotten away with tampering with theirs. Just...*headexplodes*

"But that’s the point, and why the “Just comply and give them whatever they want” brainwashing is so dangerous. She probably thought he just wanted to rob her, and that resisting would get her stabbed."

--they speculate that the reason the hijackers in the planes had an easier time on 9/11 was because nobody imagined they'd kill themselves too in a crash, so complying would be the safest option.

We often have no idea the lengths people will go for crazy.

Exactly-and it was a fair assumption, as hijacking to that point rarely ended in a loss of life. From Wikipedia:Before the September 11, 2001 attacks, most hijackings involved the plane landing at a certain destination, followed by the hijackers making negotiable demands. Pilots and flight attendants were trained to adopt the "Common Strategy" tactic, which was approved by the FAA. It taught crew members to comply with the hijackers' demands, get the plane to land safely and then let the security forces handle the situation. Crew members advised passengers to sit quietly in order to increase their chances of survival. They were also trained not to make any 'heroic' moves that could endanger themselves or other people. The FAA realized that the longer a hijacking persisted, the more likely it would end peacefully with the hijackers reaching their goal.[12] The September 11 attacks presented an unprecedented threat because it involved suicide hijackers who could fly an aircraft and use it to delibrately crash the airplane into buildings
