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

Right. So you'll maim someone but not kill them, and you won't call the police... Do you not think that they might, after they've been leathered with your comedy baseball bat and drawing pin combo, in spite of having to incriminate themselves?

Indeed, it is better to kill someone, after you've beaten them silly with a bat with nails or spikes on it.

FYI vonhelmet, you speak as if the police are all mighty and nobody gets away with any crime, not just on this thread, but since i can remember really.

That's just complete nonsense.

Tank could kill an intruder, dispose of the body and nobody will know.

If he doesnt have acid handy, he could always stuff them into a punching bag, take them somewhere, and incinerate the remains, then grind the bones (if fire not hot enough) to dust and scatter them over fields.

As for any physical evidence that can be cleaned up easily.

So while I don't really care if you want to randomly troll tank, having that attitude is not really helpful, or realistic.

What does "harder" mean, is that some random childish term, i believe so.

Also, what does it matter what people do? This is a discussion about what people believe they will do, its about what they think or feel.

As for being in that situation, perhaps someone will not do what they say, but that is not up for discussion, you cannot prove they will not, likewise, people who write they will remain calm or even will admit they would be terrified in that situation might very well completely flip out and attack the intruder or intruders like a Spartan from the film on some sort of blood lust.

So what you are infact doing, is just trolling, attacking people who write things you cannot comprehend.

But i suppose god will help you?

Goodnight

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:

Absolutely ridiculous :rolleyes:

So, have you (or someone you know) ever been in a situation like this?

My neighbour was burgled last year. He came downstairs to find five black guys loading his 60" LCD into the back of his own van which the burglars intended to use as a getaway vehicle. Stark naked he chased them down the street. They got away with an iPod but that was about it.

If not, what do you think you would do?

I'd beat them so badly they'd be covered from head to toe in "QWERTY" shaped bruises :D


Until I find myself in that situation I have no idea what I would do. I'd like to think I'd stand up for myself and my possessions but there's a good chance I'd just tell them to "**** off" and hope that would be the end of it.

The defence laws in this country are stronger than in many parts of the USA.

I'm going to have to say that's blatantly not true.

States with a Stand-your-ground Law

No duty to retreat, regardless of where attack takes place.

* Alabama
* Arizona
* Florida
* Georgia
* Indiana
* Kentucky
* Louisiana
* Montana
* Nevada
* Oklahoma
* South Carolina
* Tennessee
* Texas
* Utah
* Washington

In addition to providing a valid defense in criminal law, many versions of the Castle Doctrine, particularly those with a "Stand-Your-Ground clause", also have a clause which provides immunity from any lawsuit filed on behalf of the assailant for damages/injury resulting from the use of lethal force.

That's not even in your own home - these are states where it's legal to attack someone in the streets, and continue to attack them until they are no longer a threat!

In all seriousness I don't have to explain myself to you, so I wont :).

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.

haha.

Robbo, I think I would have done similar to your friend. If I had kids I wouldn't think twice, only god knows what I would do to be honest.

As for the Police saying it was stupid, perhaps but I'm sure many other Police officers would have agreed with what he did as an act to prevent himself getting hurt.
 
We keep the air rifle in the wardrobe, tis only a .177 but a round to the groin from short range would certainly sting a tad. Since we are in a bungalow and the 8 year old sleeps next door i would wait outside our room with the missus on the phone. Certainly wouldn't be chasing the guy. House insurance has a purpose... not to mention it's new for old!

Is the situation not the same in the UK? I completely agree with the principle that you should not be under any obligation to leave an area due to some chav attacking you, that's untenable.
 
This is why I have a 28kg Staffy, he's as soft as anything but can look quite intimidating. I've tried to to make sure that most of the people that live near me have seen him at some point.
 
Many people seem to forget that these scum won't always be locked up first time or for long either, taking physical action would be high on my list be you have to think if you hurt them so badly and all they get is a slap on the wrist as a first time offence or some ridiculous PC parp, they might come back.

Even if it incriminates them as an act of revenge, it could be anything from damaging property to.. well, anything these scum will do.

Burglars are not afraid of dogs being in the house -FACT.
I worked in a Juvenile Prison and none of them were deterred by a dog in the house.

Also we need to ask the OCUK Coppers this one -
Isn't it also a fact that every day burglars do get assaulted by homeowners but 99.999999% of them just say 'Fair cop guv'?
I was told this by my 3 Copper mates.
 
Re: A burglar going to the police after a beating. Not always that clear cut, as if they're into burglary, they could also be into other, more serious stuff and wouldn't want to risk being done for that. Also they may not be too keen on having their place searched or having housemates/friends/family investigated.

But I agree, they might come back again so it's probably best that you recycle them into biofuel with a large tank full of enzymes or something.
