If I can throw in my two cents, I actually asked a medical expert (my mother) if CPR could restart a heart, and she said that it was possible. Then again, she also said that she would have smashed Larry's head in without a second thought, so you have that too.
Oh, and she's a nurse. That's where the medical knowledge comes in, even if she's not a brain surgeon or anything.
I have gotten conflicting reports on if CPR can restart the heart, some people tell me yes, so people tell me no, it's almost as of the universe wants to confuse me.
the teacher/travis took 3 people to take down and they had real weapons, larry was incredibly big and strong and if he did get up a salt lick to the head would just make him stumble not crush his skull, if lilly was able/willing (probably not) to help in the fight there would be 3 people to wrestle him to the ground and then one of them would have to smash his skull with a salt lick, it could possibly be done but the potential for bites and injury would be high and there would be a chance Clementine would get hurt, so taking the risk he presents and his slim chance of recovery into account kenny was right to want to take him out
This is literally exactly how I saw it.
A lot of the walkers in the game that turned sprang up suddenly without warning. Most of the damage dealt by the salt lick was due to gravity, I don't think swinging it at a moving target would be at all effective. In hindsight, trying to save Larry is the "better" decision, as it makes Lee look heroic and we know that nobody will be harmed either way.
At the time, we'd only played 1 and a half episodes, in the previous episode a character died and another lived due to our decisions. There was no way to know the Larry walker wouldn't bite Kenny or Lilly or Clem before getting taken down. I saw this as a real possibility at the time due to the effects of decisions being more pronounced early on in the series.
