What pisses me off is the peanut gallery.
If you have never have a gun or knife pulled on you, then don't talk about what you would or wouldn't do in that situation.
It's so easy to play Monday Morning Quarterback...
I was robbed at gunpoint at my part-time job in a store a few years back. This was in a nice neigrabroadorhood with police constantly frequently this store. I went into a trance, and just gave that kid (who was doing a gang initiation) the money in the registers. I was on auto-pilot. My focus was on giving this kid the money so he could take his gun and go. My manager on the other hand who by the way was behind me while all of this was taking place later said "We" could have taken him.

She's welcome to play Hero if she wants, but I want to live. I'll do whatever I have to do to live another day and tell my story.
Someone should also find me one story- just one story of someone being successful squaring off against some knife-wielding or gun-toting maniac who isn't playing with a full deck of carRAB. Just one...Can't find it. Me neither.
Any in hostage situation you aren't suppose to antagonize the perpetrator. They will kill you without a second thought.
Besides if Tara takes on Cameron she most definitely would have lost. He was full of rage and adrenaline while she was shocked. Either she enRAB up seriously injured or dead, and Cameron takes Abel either way.
It would have been nice if this was emphasized in the writing for Season 3.

Don't give us that BS in an interview when you couldn't be bothered to place the blame on Gemma in your writing for S3 instead you chose to make Tara the fall guy. Whatever.
[sp]Jax_Tara: Jax and Tara scoop please. #sonsofanarchy
Get ready. The season finale is going to be another doozie. A source tells me that Jax will brood over a life and death decision regarding his family. A decision he has to make…It's not gonna be pretty, my sweet.[/sp]
[sp] Back to this BS again... Because it worked out so well for him in S3.

Wonder if he has to choose over Abel or Thomas living or something of that nature.[/sp]
