Re: killing someone who is trying to rob you
I'd rather hand over some cash than kill him.
However if I felt there was a chance he'd kill me (I'll assume that most muggers just take your money and run?) I'd probably have to defend myself.
I think a more interesting question would be:
He holds you at gun point, you give him your money. He turns his back on you to run away.
You suddenly have a gun in your hand, would you kill him?
I wouldn't, but I think in general more Americans than Europeans would kill him, this is also probably what the girl was getting at.
