If it meant getting my hands on a weapon (the shovel), I’d go along with it just long enough till then.
|
|
|
Well, probably. Lately it has been hard to get a quality job done with any thing so I might as well do it right.

I’d dig.
For a while. Enough to build some cover, and let them get complacent. Then trade up that shovel for whatever they’re carrying. |
|
Tell me they you're going to kill me and then hand me the same murder weapon that sent Tom Joad away?
Yeah, you'll likely kill me and then go home to a nice cannoli, but there'll be at least a token effort to bang a gong. |
|
I'll dig for a bit to buy some time, but I aint going in a hole voluntarily.
|
|
I'd likely take a swing with the shovel, miss, and blow out my back. Then I'll have to dig my grave with a blown out back.
|
|
Just fucking kill me... dig that fucking hole....make it a big one
|
|
You won't really know until in that situation.
ETA: Will to survive and hold on to hope is very strong. |

I'd they had me a shovel, I will hit them with it. I might die, but they can dig their own fucking hole.
|
|
People dug their own grave in the hope that it was a scare tactic, and that it would prolong their lives.
Facing death fucks with your mind. If it ever happens to you, just take the bullet. You're getting it anyway. |
|
I'd immediately soil myself and make them smell me the whole time.

During the push into Germany a handful of men in the Third Armored Division were captured and forced to dig their own graves, a German officer came along, saw what was going on and put a stop to it.
If they had fought they would’ve been shot and nobody would’ve ever known about it. Granted that’s a very unlikely situation, but it has happened. |

Now, you're gonna dig the fuckin' thing now. You're gonna dig the hole. You're gonna do it. I got no fuckin' lime. You're gonna do it. Tommy DeVito : Who the fuck cares? I'll dig the fuckin' hole. I don't give a fuck. What is it, the first hole I dug? Not the first time I dug a hole. I'll fuckin' dig a hole. Where are the shovels?

I hope I wouldn't puss out and do that. What's the point? - they're just going to kill you anyway. The only reason I can see someone doing that is denial, desperately hoping for some deus ex machina (which ain't happening), or just being scared shitless and wanting that extra 5 minutes of terrified life.
Granted, it's a lot easier to do the talk than do the walk, but logically, fighting back is the far better option. Better to go out in a fight than as a slave; I'd rather rush the SOB, since I'm getting shot anyway - damned if I do, damned if I don't. Maybe I might actually manage to surprise him and grab his gun and take him or his buddy out with me first. I wouldn't expect to actually survive, but damn that'd be a neat hat trick. If not, at least I unsettled them and can die with some dignity. |

|
Someone is going to meet the business end of that shovel. Result is likely the same but someone will have a reminder.

in this soil?
i'll try and kill the fucker when he goes to sleep because you're not getting a decent hole in a day by hand if it's dry it's hard as a fucking rock, if it's wet it sticks to the shovel if they let me run the backhoe they better not stand too close... |
|
3'x6'x6' hole takes a while to dig. Even in optimum soil. Add in frozen ground, tree roots, sand, clay, rocks... fuck you. You do the work.

My father said “live on your knees or die on your feet, the choice is yours.”

Quoted: They don’t have to kill you easy. View Quote Once the hole is dug, what's there to stop them from torturing you anyway? By savagely attacking them with the shovel, even if you're unable to win, odds are higher they'll kill you outright trying to defend themselves. That's a win in and of itself, in a way. Disrupt their plans, and they just might get sloppy enough to leave behind some evidence. |
|
If they are dumb enough to hand me a shovel they will find out just how uncooperative I can be.
|
|
|
What if you just hit yourself in the head with the shovel?
Now they can't make you dig. Attached File |
|
At some point I’d use the weapon given to me. May not ultimately work, but it beats just giving up. |
|
Fuck no I wouldn’t.
Like many others have said go down fighting. Fucking crazy things happen all the time. Maybe the dude is a retard and misses or panics and forgets the safety and you disembowel him |

It's be kinda embarrassing to show up in Valhalla holding a shovel, but at least you're there
|
|
You handed me a shovel?
I'm gonna try to fucking hit you in your melon. |

They hand me a shovel and I will start swinging for the fences. They can dig their own damn hole.
