Lots of absolutes being thrown out in this thread.
Here's an example of a guy who was robbed by 2 badguys, one with a gun already drawn. He killed both of them without suffering any injuries.

There are also plenty of examples of people who complied and lived.
I'm not saying one is better than the other- each situation is completely unique- but you can't be making absolutes when you're talking about this stuff.
