'Reasonable people' act and react in different ways to different situations. When I was walking home one night and passed in front of a car that parked in a school parking lot, I was unsure of continuing. When I did so and guys started getting out of said car, I had to make a choice because A. I knew I couldn't outrun them and B. I didn't have a phone, and even if I did, there's a chance they could have rushed me before I had finished dialing or just hung it up or something. Also without any weapon, I had no real way of defending myself, but if I was going to go down and probably get ganged raped, I was going to go down making a hell of a lot of noise, if not fighting even though I'd probably be over powered easily. So I turned, started barking as loud and as fast as I could and gave a mini charge. They ran, and I trotted home in an adrenaline rush with my idea confirmed...act crazy and people are less likely to mess with you. Wouldn't work in a sneak and grab situation, but for that and for me, it did.
