Fundamentally, I believe the person making the attack takes his life into his own hands when he decides to jump another person. And if he does so with a weapon then why would he expect to have any consideration shown for his own life in return? If he survives it is only because he was more skilled in the surprise attack, better armed, or the other person showed him a great deal of human charity. Sometimes I think we are over-civilized in our laws and have lost touch of basic survival responses.
This says it all. If a person makes a choice to rob someone, they should be fair game. Of course common sense should dictate one's actions, but if attacked we should be able to respond with aggression.
