What does this victim teach us about protecting ourselves against armed robbers?
1. Evil exists in our world, and no amount of wishing it away does so. Armed robbers do evil things, and good people must be ready and willing to stand between them and innocent people and do enough violence to stop them definitively. No amount of negotiation will make truly evil people change their ways; only those willing and able to stop them who use attitude, skills, and plan effectively can. These armed robbers cared not one iota for their victims.
