What if they want your life?

A local man is dead at age 63 today, despite having obeyed the two armed robbers demanding his money Thursday. From the St. Louis Post Dispatch:

Willie Perkins cooperated with an armed robber by giving him cash, but the gunman then shot Perkins to death on a St. Louis street Thursday night, police say.

I've heard people say that you should cooperate with criminals so they won't hurt you. Are you willing to trust your life to someone that has no resoect for life? The man in the story cooperated and ended up dead anyway. According to the srory the criminals are still at large.


I'm not inclined to turn over what'ss mine to some thug that's never had a job and thinks he can take what ever they want. It's a dangerous proposition, but if they are going to try and kill you anyway, you might as well go out fighting. What I am willing to give them is a copper and lead sleeping pill.

As National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea once asked of someone who had repeated the "just give him what he wants" advice, "What if 'what he wants' is your life?"
