While I don’t condone deadly force a mugger asking for your wallet first is probably not going to stop there and so it may be better not to cooperate at all. Magdumping seems a little harsh though.
Common sense. Someone who threatens you and tries to mug you probably isn’t keen on not breaking the law. People who are not keen on not breaking the law might just be liars. I’m not saying all muggers will cut your throat after taking your wallet, phone and jewlery, but a good amount of them might just.
Common sense is that people who want to steal the cash in your pocket don’t want a murder charge, and the percentage who would get violent when it isn’t profitable is vanishingly small
The idea that robbery and “slitting your throat” are the same kind of crime is absolutely insane, what’s next, if you jaywalk you’re probably a murderer too?
Maybe if jail sentences were based on a binary “did they crime?” legal test you’d have the beginnings of a point with respect to deterrence, but we’d also have to throw aside any innate morality the person has.
If you’re also of the opinion there’s no such thing as a crime of need.
Really? I don’t live in a country with guns. If I did, I would expect to get shot at if I attempted robbery. How could you possibly be surprised if you got shot?

Mugger still deserved it.
Dumping a mag on a criminal alright. Reloading and dumping another one might be a little too much.
Source? That seems extremely counterintuitive

In fact it’s just a really dumb point.
