Stealing is now a death penalty?

Nope, but there's no way to know if theft is the ultimate goal. If somebody is attacking you, you don't know how far they're willing to go. And even shoving somebody to the ground can kill them (not that this is a reasonable thing for a healthy adult to worry about). But the theft isn't the problem, the assault is.

No but assault with a deadly weapon can be.

Would be much different story if the robber just tried to use intimidation/his fists and got stabbed.

If you use deadly force against someone to commit a crime you deserve whatever you get.
