This is the reason the "authorities" demand you comply with anything an armed agressor or thief demands. In some cases you will be punished for attempting to defend yourself. If the man had at least tried to fight for his life, he may still be alive, and perhaps if there was a conspiracy involved, a living captured agressor may be of good use. Pros and cons of defending yourself:

They just walked up and demanded the purse. They didnt even pull out a gun until the purse was handed over. Thats cowardly on both sides in my opinion. Im sorry maybe its just American culture to be afraid and allow yourself to be at the mercy of criminals without even trying to defend yourself. But I am Colombian, and in Colombia people typically fight back regardless of what an agressor has.

You know my problem with this?
You take the number of people in the U.S. and then you take the number of people who get killed per-year. That then leaves you with the chance of any-one person being killed, you then take the number of people in this movement. From what I worked out off of the top of my head and a bit of quick research, at least one of them per-year, statistically could die. However, instead of looking at the logical chances of this death people jump to a conclusion - we all desire to see a conspiracy here.
...and instead of jumping to this conclusion, why not look at the location and why he was there? If he was in an area, where muder/muggings, were common - then why was he? Does he live there? Meeting someone? OR alternatively, if these people left their area [where they normally conduct crime] why? Who sent them? Instead, we're missing vital information in our Quest for Conspiracy. This doesn't help us, however pure facts and evidence does - something so far, yet to be displayed.

There could be another reason for you doing this... you could be a Communist sympathizer, or worse a Communist, and you are being paid by the Russian government, or the Chinese government to try to give credence to such topics....
Are you being paid by the Communists billybob?.....
