General Discussion

The goal is to eliminate a perceived threat.

The first and best option is to put distance between yourself and the threat.

That is not possible in an elevator, is it? Where are you going to run to in an elevator? To the other corner?

Are you going to scream for help in an elevator, when seconds matter?

How are you certain that a person who you are TRAPPED IN AN ELEVATOR WITH, WHO TRIED TO GRAB YOUR BREAST AND TOUCHED YOU TWICE, is not trying to kill you?

Even if this was staged, my point is that the woman had a split second to make a decision.

She stopped when she was able to escape. If the door was not able to be opened, she should have continued until he was dead, or old cold with certainty.

What if that elevator had another 40 floors to travel until the door was able to be opened? Still think she went too far?
