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.

Source? That seems extremely counterintuitive

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 even 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?

Who touched sasha?

I'd have to guess it'd cost like $40 to do that. Yeah.

It's not about the money

You have to take in account though everyone you saved from being mugged
