Fight or flight?

So, in short, to fight or not to fight is the question and our speaker chooses to fight – and apparently survives to tell the tale.

All right, here are more media examples of “fight or flight”:

1. A man who was attacked in a parking lot didn’t give in to demands for his money. Instead, deputies say he stabbed his attacker in the neck.

When financial advisor Jason Bennett returned to Merrill Lynch Sunday night, he became the victim of an ambush-style attack.

“They were struggling, and in an attempt to get the suspect away from him, he was trying to grab some money out of his truck to just get the suspect to flee,” said Sgt. Mark Young of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies say Bennett’s attacker was Willie Lee Jones.

“[Bennett] grabbed a knife and decided to defend himself, stabbed the suspect in the neck,” Young said.

Bennett later identified a bleeding Jones as his attacker. He is recovering at Lee Memorial Hospital.

Young says there’s no hard rule on when to fight and when to take flight. While in this case, the victim made the decision that led to the arrest of his attacker.

“It’s not worth losing your life over, whoever it is,” Young said.

The detective said what Bennett did is not necessarily the answer for everyone.

“I don’t recommend it per se, however on the flip side of that coin, you can’t tell someone they can’t defend themselves. They have every right to defend themselves when they’re under attack,” Young said.
