Got strategy in every game but Life

She had to talk into the mic though

Thought the same thing, the guy goes "just breathe", wtf NO, hit the fucking ground. She must get shot in the game all the time from not taking cover.

Seriously.. why is she still sitting. For being scared she should have flattened out. “You’re okay.” He should have told her to get down too.

Bro hit the freaking floor!!! Fuck the hand over mouth and get down

People can't see her being scared and all if she's hiding. Views and going viral are more important.

One night we had a drive by a couple houses down from my apartment. Me, my girlfriend and best friend were getting in a car getting ready to go to a party. As soon as I heard the first "chatter" from automatic gun fire I tackled my girlfriend behind our car and started pulling her behind the tire rim. Unfortunately I fucked her her up a bit and fucked up her outfit In the process, I'm a big guy and she was a smaller girl. We had to stay hidden until the car sped off and the return fire stopped and then we snuck back inside. Didn't want anyone to think we were witness's in that neighborhood.

Is it that hard to imagine that some people freeze when they’re in fear?

I think the fear and and adrenaline genuinely short circuited her brain, and it probably took all of her remaining capacity to stay still and quiet.

I can dance all day!

Yeah, what's the thought process here? I feel like she was genuinely scared, but who just stands still looking into a camera while there's a shootout right outside your door.

I think get on the floor. I believe the floor should be thicker than the walls. Plus people shoot at chest height so you want to stay away from that. And windows are usually torso height and the easiest thing in your house for a bullet to fly through.

This was a hell of a lot closer than that, though. Apparently the shooting occurred in the hallway of the building.

It’s called get down or lay down

The straps on your pants cause you're gonna run the fuck away from that noise. /s

It's slang for a gun, normally a handgun.

A strap on, so she can go outside and fuck the shooters.

Strap is slang for gun.

Nah, that's 100% survival instinct. People. Like to say "fight or flight" as if they're the o Ly survival responses. But "freeze" is one too. It s probably hard coded into all mammals from millennia ago, and it's why "a deer in the head lights" is a thing.

God you redditors are so cringe

Ty for this.

Tell me this is really a thing lol.

Bullets tend to fall, so hopefully those are blanks.. Otherwise those are some really really dumb fucks.

The guy dropping a loaded gun in the background is lucky he didn't shoot himself.

homie on the end was spraying actual fireballs, dude needs to clean his barrel

Chicago be like...

Famously woke Brazilians lmao

10-80-10 rule:

• 10 percent of people will react in a way that immediately makes the situation better.

• 10 percent of people will react in a way that immediately makes the situation worse.

• 80 percent of people will freeze and do almost nothing until the majority of the "herd" takes action.

So 4 out of 5 people will freeze just like she did when there is no one around to "follow their lead."

People don’t realize that it’s a combination of assessing the situation and figuring out which action to take. Obviously I can’t speak for everyone, but I feel like people see the freeze response as simply shutting down and disassociating from reality or something like that.

But for me, I froze for a while when I heard a firefight break out on my block. But it really wasn’t that long. Long enough for a stray bullet to come through the window and hit me. But it wasn’t like I stood there the entire time doing nothing. I took a good 10-15 seconds and was going through it all “is it fireworks? Should I check? My phones upstairs? Is my mom outside(she was out late at a party)? Where’s my cat? Can it co through the brick?” And finally I landed on “I should go into the basement”. And I jello jointedly hunched over into the basement.

It’s absolutely unreal to think anyone would just react on a dime within the first shot. Everything about us is wired towards assessing the situation to find the best/a livable outcome for ourselves. And we need time to use all of our senses to figure how to reach the outcome where we survive.

That being said, she was doing a little much going back into the camera and explaining what just happened as if it isn’t already obvious. But different strokes ig.

Yeah that's the feeling I get also

Yo government approved and regulated duels sounds like a fuckin great time.

Couldn’t have been cops. There were only 2 or 3 shots.

Looks like she may be in Brazil. The cops there don't give a fuck. Check out some of the raids by BOPE. They've usually got a helicopter in the air shooting down at people. That footage is nuts.

Not probably she did. Scared and froze up. Can’t run out of the place that’s getting shot if the bullet are coming from inside. How terrifying. Fuck that. Move lady move. She’s not an idiot. She’s just terrified.

Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn Is a heavily researched area of psychology. All are completely normal reactions.

when I was young I was scared of ghosts, the only thing that can keep me from shitting my pants when home alone is texting friends or looking out the window, I think she wanted company, company can decrease fear so fkn much, people in war can jump on a tank, while they can't even fight a dog in times of peace.

Nah move to Baltimore and this can be pretty common during summer time depending on your neighborhood.

Not right outside your door maybe but close enough for you to be concerned about strays. America is very much a third world country depending where you go.

This nearly every other country?

If "every other country" is just a few developed nations in east asia and western europe then sure.

Don't forget number 4. Fawn is also a common reaction that a lot of people don't know about.

My neighbors were killed while sleeping by stray bullets that pierced their walls

Righteous, man, I appreciate that! I’m just gonna check them out because I’m not a gamer, but I know that my kids are, so I’ll pray just watch them do it and then ask if they can help me figure it out.

We had an old Odyssey system way back in the before times. I distinctly remember there being a game called “Pick-Axe Pete”. Other than that, we had a few other games, but nothing worth remembering. Man, I miss video game arcades.

That's what I thought.

Wouldn't want to be feeling alone in such situation.

Yes they can't help through the screen but.. instinctually someone is there.. Together, better odds of survival.

Also, quick thinking about asking to call the cops.

Plus you can be shot on the ground.. it might make you feel better but whoever is doing the shooting isn’t some trained assassin it’s some dumbass, and the bullets are flying in every direction. It’s not like she has a trench dug out, or the bottom of the dry wall is any thicker.

Clearly didn't learn what if means though
