The gun-hating Left always says "Just give them what they want." I guess this guy didn't get that memo. Gas station clerk shot during early morning robbery in Rose Park
After taking the money, about $200 in $5 bills, the gunman shot the 23-year-old clerk in the neck, according to Ahmed Shalaby, who is the son of the station’s owner.
So he had the money, such as it was, and he still shot the clerk.
Cooperation is a strategy for dealing with a violent encounter, not the guarantee that the Left likes to make it out to be. Personally I think it is a poor strategy, but to each his own.
Of course being armed in your own defense is also not a guarantee.

But I think it is a better strategy than being a defenseless victim. Violent criminals do not stop being violent criminals because of anything you are doing or are not doing. Of course in Long Beach, California, the cops probably don't permit people to be armed in their own self-defense.
The victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Cops suspect that the bad guy then tried to carjack someone.
