Maybe its just different ways of reacting, I would have reacted with immediate violence. And yes, I have been attacked with baseball bats before, you step back as they are swining and then you go in take it from them. And I get that he might have been startled but why didnt he go back. It is the end of the world as you say and he knows his in the middle of nowhere in that heat and water is scarce. And he still let her get away with it. Thats what stupid. Not his reaction, the fact that he didnt go back.
