...you also have to pee down you leg or they'll think it is a trap.I would scream "murder is illegal, this is a violence free establishment" then cower in fear.

That's a really big assumption.For example in this situation in Sandy OR the lady tried to slash the guy's throat. If he was in condition orange/red he could have easily stopped her knife hand.
Actually, according to the linked article in @ilikegunspdx's post, the perp and the victim exchanged some heated words just moments before the attack. The perp went outside to her car, got the knife, and reentered the restaurant. Had the victim maintained situational awareness by keeping an eye on the slasher after she exited the restaurant after their exchange of words, he would have seen her re-enter the restaurant and could have made the reasonable assumption that she was returning for some vengeance. With that assumption, he could have mounted a defense as she reentered the store. At least, that's what I would've done and assumed.That's a really big assumption.
She was just walking by with no precursor to attack.
Less than one second from start to finish.
No way. I considered running away unworkable even when I was a young broad. For starters, you have to turn your back. That means you can't see whether bad guy has pulled gun or knife. Second, if he's faster than me, I'm outta luck. He can catch up with me and attack me from behind, and even if I've got a gun and it's in my hand I can't deploy it while running away from attacker. To run away is to discard whatever advantage I had in being armed. Finally, I haven't been able to outrun males since puberty when my hips broadened. I would certainly be unlikely to be able to outrun a male attacker now at age 76. The only situation in which I would run from an attacker would be if it was a very short distance that put me behind a bulletproof barrier or inside my house....
If you can run away, do so.....
