Walking down the street minding your own business

First victim of the zombie apocalypse.

A lack of situational awareness around you... and the lack of reaction time.

What he said. You can't just mind your own business. You need to be aware of what's going on around you.

Sure, random acts of violence happen, but without any specifics, I'm hoping my SA will give me enough of a heads-up to shorten my OODA Loop enough to thwart most common, if unsophisticated attacks on me or mine.

It's all my business...

When a piece of space debris hits you in the head and kills you. Should have worn your ballistic helmet.

What's going on around me along with the potential it presents is my business...

Because JuJuBead and ShapeShifter from one gang happen to spot a couple members of a rival gang coming out of the convenience store you're about to walk past. Having been dissed by them last weekend, JuJu is looking for a little payback and decides the best plan is for him and Shape to spray 9mm rounds all over the front of the store. What a shame you might be in the way, just collateral damage.

Gotta keep your radar on anytime you step out of your home nowadays.

Hit curb and a wheel pops off.
Jon is also driving an suv while high and is completely distracted buy that event.
Jon blows a red light and panics hitting power pole yanking the high power wires down for a block.
Power wire falls on you, electrocution you are dead.
It gets written up a a covid case, hospital gets and extra 8 to 18G

Uneven side walk due to lack of maintenance , slip and fall, (normally this would be a more-gain & more-gain case) but you bump your head just right and die.

more-gain & more-gain still claims a windfall for your heirs but you are still dead.

Knock out game

Yes. Because you are alive.

Why? Because, in part, the world is full of evil and some prey on the unsuspecting. That, and s**t happens. Examples were given by previous posters.

Mindlessly minding one's own business without a corresponding SA is both foolish and potentially dangerous. Pocket the phone & look around.
