This is scary and saddening. Who here could say they have never hurt someone mentally or physically. What if the robber had children and was at wits end. I wouldn't agree with his methods, but he is not going to kill and probably won't maim you. What exactly are you protecting you money, you pride? I like "willRavel" have taken a significant amount of martial arts and consider sparring much like dancing. I personally am secure that I can survive with whatever belongings I carry on my person and could continue quite well without them. Where do people get off assuming that someone who is mugging you is a life criminal and probably is going to become a psycho murderer?

If I was uncertain of my safety or more importantly others then I may use force to phase him and would try not to kill him, however if it came down to him or me or him and someone else, I would unfortunately have to put him to rest.
