Exactly my point, may the do-gooders get burgled several times by multiple intruders threatening them with bodily harm. Might put some common sense back into this country.

if someone was to burgle me, their hands will be mashed into a bloody pulp cos my weapon are some heavy heavy shoes wiv metal shiny bits all over them

That is stupid

Hey Jules - I would have thought you kept the hockey stick nearby in case you needed to smash a window in the event of a fire?

I stand corrected, I just thought the word 'hack' might conjure up therapeutic images for some folks ...

Well if someone broke into my property and i caught them at it i would most likely kick thier heads in , the problem is that in the part of the world where i spent a large part of my life there is a law against dropping SH&T on the sidewalk , but that would not stop me , so to all those low lifes out there ................
Wanna Try your luck and if you do better book a place in an ICU first

If that was the case..... which thankfully it wasn't.... i'd be grateful when they left my home and that i was not dead or in anyway damaged. I have had my life threatened and been attacked and have been so scared that i thought i'd never see my family or friends again. I came away from it all mentally scarred.
But i am here. Did i wish those that tried to harm me dead? Of course i did.... i still do.
Did i run after them with a mallet, brick or shot gun (and my father did have one) ? No.
If someone was trying to kill me or someone dear to me, then i would do anything to defend myself or my loved ones.. if that meant killing them, i really wouldn't know what i would do unless in that situation.
Would i KILL someone for burgling my home? No.
Would i KILL someone for threatening me? No.
My home is NOT my 'castle' it is were i live.... i'm sorry if you are offended by my views.... but my possessions are not worth the life of any human.
My life probably is.... as is that of others.
That's all

True. we, and our lives are worth far more than any possessions. Possessions can be replaced, we can't.

You are female, it would have been suicidal to do so.

I do...

He was not done for murder, ie he was not trying to kill them.

It was a dark night, there had already been several break-ins there, Martin knew the police would not respond (or if they did, it would not be in time) and the burglars were menacing him with taunts that they were going to 'get' him. He didn't know what weapons they had with them and although he responded with (what we now know to be) excess force it obviously seemed reasonable at that time and place.

But if we stand aside and let these people come into our homes and threaten and steal, we then become targets for repeated (and probably escalating) crimes. As Martin already was....

But it wasn't just possessions Martin was protecting - it was his livelihood....God knows, I'd do exactly the same. Allowing the other burglar to sue is just a kick in the face for those that have worked honestly their entire life - ie the taxpayers that are going to be paying for the rotten b*stards' legal aid...

And if the law allows us to kill intruders, we will eventually get Anarchy..

Edit: While I am not defending the burglar (he is ****), and while I don't know what I would do in that situation, I don't think attacking people is the answer.
