In essence this discussion has been about a potentially violent criminal threatening to end an innocent's life. Whether scenario 1, 2, 3 or 4; the potential worst case outcome for the victim is death by murder.
It seems there are those who would advocate adopting the role of the lamb taken to the altar, and those who actually understand what led to "The Onion Field."
If ever it comes to it, I only hope for my "Dead man's ten seconds."
