It looks like momst of the gun toters would love this opportunity to show how manly they are by shooting a fleeing man.

It has nothing to do with showing manliness and everything to do with having zero tolerance for having to live in a society where behavior like that is endorsed or accepted. If you give him your money and do nothing you are telling him he did a good thing by robbing you and that he should do it again. If you kill him then it tells others who might want to try the same thing that it might not be such a good idea.
