>>Right - but in this particular situation with him being 60+ years old, having no pepper spray or taser - you can't really knock the guy for handling it the way he did. Yes it would of been nice if he was a 30 year old blackbelt and was physically able to fend of 3 assailants, but that is simply not the case.

No he did exactly what he was supposed to do - called for help.

>There's nothing he could have done?

I'm sure if we sat here long enough we could formulate a plan he could of taken, but that's a lot easier to do when we're sitting at home with hours and hours to think about it as opposed to dealing with it as it happens. I guess I'm just saying that I don't blame the driver for handling it the way he did.
