[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Mika, remember that cruise ship that was hijacked--what was the name?  And the
only guy--or the first guy killed--was the elderly man who used a
wheelchair.  Now, one could say that he took risks by being so outspoken and
not cooperating fully with his captors.  And that's why he was shot.  One
could say he was disabled and vulnerable--that's why he was shot . . .  Don't
know.  But I can assure you that I, personally, would have to evaluate the
situation and preserve my life as much as I could.  We humans do have that
survival instinct.
