"sag: Does that mean that only the kid can react? why would i ignore his action?..."
Platao,
You would not ignore his action for you are known for your brutality and shoot the kid but the kid would die as a brave soldier trying to save his honor. This is as simple as that..

Even in this civilised world, the saying 'Might is right' still holds true then the weak have no option but to die with honor...
