Damn, that's spooky. Not having been in, around or even known anyone associated with such a situation, I'm too off balance to have an opinion on a course of action (except for the victim to fight hard and dirty). The whole concept just wiggs me out...

Yeah, that was exactly my own problem; never having been around anything like it before, I just kept on walking. I wish I'd been at least as bold as the guy in the seat ahead of me; then at least I'd have had some clue as to what was going on. Hindsight is so irritating... DC

Any advice or opinion I may give regarding victimness is conditional on there actually being a victim, and is immediately rescinded upon loss of said caveat.
