I guess I just don't understand why someone would do this. I mean if I had a gun I'd also just shoot the murderer, but assassination is "illegal" and "a federal crime" so unfortunately that's not an option.
It's still an option, just one that has consequences.
In this hypothetical, because I refuse to give him the satisfaction of cooperating in any way. If he knows that he can get me to do things by threatening to kill babies, then I'm just encouraging him to threaten to kill babies.
I'm not trying to "talk tough," there are situations where I would cooperate with a hostage taker, but murdering babies is a red line, for me personally.
