My family is completely innocent in this situation, would the criminal's family be happy if my family told them their child shot me for a few dollars? Also, how do you know the criminal's family is completely innocent? After all, they raised a criminal.
You could hide to avoid being shot, you could run, plenty of things.
Oh, and 'raised a criminal'? Really? What, did they teach the child how to steal and shoot, or did the child ruin their own life? Look at things like Columbine, or even the murder of Lawrence King: the families didn't teach that, the children simply snapped.
A family is not to blame for a child's actions, and the family should not be punished for it. What if it was a relative of yours, or a friend?
You certainly have the right to protect your life and your property. When it comes to your life, running is always an option, but because it is YOUR life, you have to do what you believe will give you the highest chance of survival, if it is running and hiding, then go for it, if it is fighting back, you should use whatever means you have to ensure your chances of survival are as high as possible. In a situation where you are under attack, why should you have to lower your chances of survival?
Lets use a situation here. Some maniac has just walked into an academic building and started killing people, the doors are chained shut (by the attacker) and he is going room to room executing people.
According to you, the best option is to hide, so lets say you found a perfect hiding space, but only one person can fit inside. If you choose to take the hiding space, you are increasing your chance of survival, but you are lowering everybody elses chances (since there is one less hiding space). What right do you have to lower the survival chances of everybody else?
What about when the police come in. What right do they have to shoot the maniac? They have no right to take his life, since that would give him equal right to shoot back at them right? What if you have a gun, and the killer is turned away from you executing some innocent people, and you have the perfect shot to the head? Also consider that rushing the killer would likely bring his attention to you, therefore lowering your chance of survival greatly. Shooting the killer gives the highest chance of survival for both you and the innocents he is about to execute, but gives the killer a very low chance of survival. Doing nothing almost ensures the innocents will die, and rushing him will lower your chance of survival, which if you fail will also likely end up in the deaths of the innocents. Should you take the shot?
