These elevated hormone levels can even exist until the person burns so much energy “being up” that they just pass out. Given this, why in the world is anyone expecting rational thought just 15 or 30 seconds after being attacked and hormone levels are now peaking? Only lawyers can think that is medically and humanly possible.

<p>Many of those laws were also written by lawmakers who were probably raised in old-fashioned Anglo-Saxon/American ideals where a “real man” was supposed to maintain his composure no matter what BS/dangers he’s subjected to. One old British Imperial poem by Kipling which dwells on this is the following:</p>

<p>

If you can keep your head when all about you<br>
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,<br>
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;<br>
…If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,<br>
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,<br>
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
