Au Contraire. If someone is in my house and don't belong there, I AM judge, jury, and EXECUTIONER. Me and my families safety takes priority over some scumbags 'rights.'

peace

UK people think that if somebody breaks into your house, you just stand there, let them do their thing and leave, they won't hurt you.

Actually, that's the law in the UK.

Several people have been arrested or charged for defending themselves from attack or intruders.

if thats true, that absolutely insane! Ive wondered for awhile if thats what we were coming to in THIs country. As it is already and not necessarily including guns if its deemed you didn't use "equal force" you may be facing charges as well for protecting yourself.

Ive even had that thought come across my mind before while in a fight. i was jumped by 7 men while at my car. I happened to have a machete in it next to my toolbox and the car was already unlocked as i was getting ready to get in so i had easy access. I thought about reaching for it but wondered if i would be the one going to jail once chunks of arms started coming off which would likely result in death from blood loss. so i took a hell of a beating while fighting them off. i eventually "won", or rather they gave up for a more easy target. i was able to drive home and it took me an angry 2 weeks to recover/heal but it really made me think about what kind of place do i live in that i have to fear defending myself...now i hear there is a worse place where that is the concrete law.SMH

what are we all coming to?

I was in no way being selective.
We were habving a discussion at breakfast, and I did a simple search for the key words in my original post.
I took the results one-by-one and copied the case info as reported for each. I stll have all the original links.

The ONLY screening criterion was "after October, 2012."

I stopped after 10. I added the last two becuae they were on my "News" feeder when I decided to post the thread.
I am certain that there have dozens more that I didn't get or get to.
I intend to update this this weekend with more. Let's see how the demo looks then. I'll bet it is pretty consistent across geography and time, at least back 10 years.
