It's very easy to understand. You already know what happened. Nobody else in that room knew that at the time. They're just listening to someone talk and some other guy casually tosses something on the floor.
Exactly. Show this video to someone who has never seen it before and ask them to react in real time, narrating what they would do. They'd be like "ok he's reaching into his pocket, what, what is that? Is that a grenade? Oh shit!" and that's with their suspicions already up because you're showing them a crazy video.
Even people who are switched on, they're used to conflict that escalates. Almost no one is prepared to go 0 to 100 in half a second.
The woman nearest looks directly at the grenades in his hand as he pulls them out and pulls the pins. And almost everyone looks at them on the floor after he tossed them. I just assume most people at least in a wartime Slavic country to know the idea of grenades quite well. Like I say some of them look way too scared for "guy dropped something heavy", it just translates into cowering instead of any real kind of action.
The only people who fight or flight are those who train their responses and reaction times to those kinds of situations. Otherwise the average person does not have the developed senses and reflexes to do anything within the short amount of time afforded for a random attack to occur.
there's a fourth response "flop" where you basically make like a fainting goat, but yeah adrenaline does weird things, even in situations that are completely safe, where you know you can't get hurt adrenal responses can fuck you up big time

He tried to get their attention and they ignored him because of their own politics. Sort of appropriate really.

It translates into exactly what I said above and nothing more.
I guess not. :)
I do think this speaks to the problems in that corrupt country, and the fact that these are the kinds of people running things. NGMI
Fight, flight, or freeze:
