I didn't even understand the stress I put on my fellow cell mates at the time because I was taken away. They were sure they'd be next as the last people to witness me alive. Communism doesn't like witnesses. There's a thing that got beat up like this: So you don't stop until the guy is not moving. You finish the fight when you are done with the fight, not when he tells you when he gives up. If you stop before submission, he could turn the tables and take you down.
