What would you do if you found a thief in your house?

This is the issue really. If you tell him to lay down, you may have a junkie lunging towards you with a knife.

i dont care about the law if someone threatens me and they are angry and such, i will kill them in my eyes this is self defense and i dont mean it in the moment, i would plan it, and brutally murder them in some way.

Fishfinger sandwich dear?
 
if your telling the truth, and for argument sake lets assume you are, if i were in this situation i would probably skin their family members alive..

i don't care about the law if someone threatens my life even if they are angry and such, i will kill them, in my eyes this is self defense, and i dont mean in the moment, i would plan it, and brutally murder them in some way.

law wise, i think you would get something pretty small, like if you act like you have had a mental breakdown, couldn't sleep for X amount of time because you were scared that they might come back and kill you, cry and such, maybe a few years?

EDIT - Beaten :o

Upon arriving the police said that he was stupid to have hit him, and that he was lucky they weren't going to arrest him and charge him with assault :confused:

If you grab something to hand and lash out at a stranger who's surprised you within your own house then that's one thing, but grabbing a golf club and going downstairs to confront someone and then taking a swing at them despite them not being violent and actually asking you not to hit them is pushing the boundaries of 'reasonable force' as far as self defence is concerned regardless of whether the chav deserved it or not.

erm wat?

Not sure if you're being serious or if this is some sort of keyboard-warrior esq troll...
 
The crook is trespassing on private property and if it were me I would feel threatened so its in self defence.

UK has gone down the pan with its ridiculous laws. Plain and simple - the crook shouldn't be snooping around in the first place.

Disable him at first, then gaffa tape his feet and hands and drag him into the cellar, then I would set about torturing him by cutting him deeply but in slow bleeding part of the body, then when he is begging for his life I would start pouring salt all over him. Then I would drag him upstairs and melt him down in the bath using some sort of acid, fish out his teeth and other various slow to decompose pieces of him and grind them down into a powder which I would then scatter in Cannock Chase.

Other than that I've not really thought about it.

lol. When was the last time you saw sunlight? :D
 
I think there may be a troll in this thread...either that or someone who is looking at a life inside a secure mental facility if he ever does what he's suggesting...


On topic.
I don't know quite what I'd do, probably the first thing would be to grab something, the second to phone the police (who do actually give burglary in an occupied property a reasonable level of response), whilst blockiny the door into my bedroom.
The thief can have the DVD player/TV I'm not risking my life to confront him unless I have to.
If I have to I'd probably go for the fastest way to disable him but stop there - the law allows any level of reasonable force for self defence (and that is a huge amount of leeway when it comes to an intruder in your house), as long as you don't go all Gimp and inform the police/ambulance ASAP.
