Re: killing someone who is trying to rob you
if it's kill, be killed, or be robbed, you kill. unless somehow you only have a few bucks on you, and you somehow know that you won't be killed. i'd gladly pay $100 just to NOT kill a guy. however if you're in a situation where you have no idea if he'll kill or whether you give the money or not, then you kill.

How could you NOT want to kill a scumbag with total impunity? [/ QUOTE ] In my experience the people that think this way, are the ones that have stolen, mugged, robbed. I don't really want to kill anyone, scumbag or not.

Uh.....

i'd gladly pay $100 just to NOT kill a guy. [/ QUOTE ] Uh......there have been cases where muggers have killed their victims becasue they were enraged their victims did not have enough money. You do not have the luxury of knowing whether or not you have a rational mugger or not..... As in old west gunfights, the first person to shoot has a huge advantage. If you have no weapon, your choice is easy. Give the money and hope you are not killed or beaten to death. If you have a gun, then you have more options. Me, I'm shooting it out. I'm not going to out-source my life hoping I have a rational mugger. If the mugger has a gun pointing at me, then I give the money. The time it takes to pull a gun out-of-my-pocket means I probably will be shot.... A friend of mine was being followed by some unsavory looking chracters at night in a tough neighborhood (Deep Ellum, lots of cool nightclubs but also lots of bad areas surrounding this neighborhood). He turn around and yelled at them, "What do you want!". They stopped bewildered and said, "We need a light". He yelled, "I don't smoke". They said, "Cheap mutherf*****" and they walked away in a DIFFERENT direction. My friend is convinced that his aggressive tonality of his voice let these guys know who was not going to be a victim.
