Sitting and doing nothing is the normal teaching. "if your being robbed, don't fight back, hand them what they want,its not worth loosing your life over" etc. "if your being raped, don't try to fight back or you may get killed"
The main issue IMHO with those teachings is the person doing the robbing/hijacking/shooting/etc is they are operating of a different moral level than us. Something in their head says that what they are doing is ok, or is justified. So how are we as a victim to know that it will stop there if we do comply or don't fight back. They have already crossed the ok/not ok line so how can you tell where they draw their line. How do you know that they won't still kill you as a witness to the lessor crime if you don't do anything to stop them.
