That hindsight is pretty darned accurate.
I think the point here is that when a crazy person comes into your home uninvited, you really don't know what their intentions are.
They are capable of anything and survival instict tells us that we can either be prepared for the worst if it comes down to that, or we can just be a victim and everyone can talk about what a tragedy it was the next day.
i'm allergic to being a victim so I do not allow myself to get into that sitch.
