Surrendered, then shot in the face for R50

RIP to the victim!

This quote from Schuster does however pee me off no end: "We are powerless against the violence. We are only a small handful - we should now probably avoid supermarkets".

Huge mindset fail! You have lost even before you started with that kind of attitude.

Yes, but on the other hand I do not like the odds against nine guys each with an AK-47.

You may be right but if you going to die you going to day. Try take as many of them with you to hell.

As was said by another member a little while back. If you find yourself in that situation, you are already dead. Fighting back cant make your chances any worse. It might even give you a chance of surviving.

What a sad and depressing story -- condolences to the family.

This was not a robbery gone bad, but an execution!

Bring back the death penalty for criminal acts involving violence or weapons...

A very, very kak situation.

I don't like those odds either. But when that's what you are facing, I reckon the odds don't care much for how you are feeling either.

I guess that's when you know that your time has come, and you have to choose how to die.

Maybe, maybe not. If you look around this forum, you will see that I have always held the view that both submission and resistance can result in either your survival or your death. There is no guaranteed outcome to either but both options represent a survival possibility in different circumstances. Sometimes your best odds will be to resist; other times your best odds will be to submit. The difficulty is you will not always know which is which and you will need to make your decision in a fraction of a moment. In the case in instance, had you known in advance that they definitely would kill you anyway even if you surrendered, then of course you would fight back. But the problem is you do not know in advance and faced with nine different men with AK-47s, you might think (especially if you are not armed!) that your best odds might be in submitting. As I say without any guaranteed outcome…

This is really the Devil's alternative.

What really disturbs me is this killing for the sake of killing. There was absolutely no need for the act in question.

It's a sad thing. Let's not think though , that it only happens here.

That is true – but the prevalence of it here! :-(
