I don't really like to knock someone who has had such a fright, but I think the person to whom it happened needn't look to us for approval for doing what he (she?) did. I think college students, by reason of their exposure to professors and textbooks with answers in the back, tend to think that there exists one right answer to all situations, even situations they encounter in real life. One only has to be out of school a little while to know that such is not necessarily so. So if the person to whom it happened is listening, here's my comment: You were there. We weren't. You know the situation, the neighborhood, the mood and the other pertinent factors. We don't. Whatever got you to safety without unnecessarily hurting anyone else is RIGHT! Anyone who tells you otherwise is a Monday-morning quarterback and should be ignored. Developing trust in your own judgement is as important as anything you can learn in a college classroom.
