All I see in the comments for the PCA is "omg, she saw the suspect and didn't call 911?" etc, etc.

No one can even come close to imagining what their response would be in that moment of utter terror and confusion, not to mention she was likely under the influence of alcohol and possibly drugs of some kind. That is a massive swirl of complicated emotions and responses...

Confusion. Fear. Terror. Concern for her roommates, concern for herself. Doubt for what she was hearing and seeing. It is likely anyone would shut down and lock themselves away. Depending on how drunk she is, she could have fallen asleep hiding in her closet or under her bed terrified to make a sound, waiting to be sure he was gone before she called 911.

Additionally, no one knows what she is experiencing NOW and she is likely very traumatized, grieving, and guilty about her very natural response. Wondering how she was spared. I feel like the public coming at her will only make her feel a million times worse.

I wish people would stop pretending like there is a normal response to what she experienced that night.
