Man breaks into house and says 'give me your £20 DVD player or I'll lump you mate'

Home owner grabs a steak knife, goes mentally psychotic, and stabs it it 6 times into the side of the burgler's head and his face, and 14 times into the unarmed burgler's gut as the guy madly tries to leg it.

OCUK GD commends owner and suggests he gets a big medal. Hopes burglers soul rots in hell. Secretly hopes media report burglar as non-white immigrant or gypsy in near future. Subscribes to Daily Mail for life. Wonders if immigrants cause cancer.

Welcome to the opinion of the masses. Joe Public & GD, .. I love 'ya!! The daily mail is going to have a field day on this one ..


my opinion -- reasonable force should be allowed, unreasonable force should not.

I'm sorry thats utter tribe, people with your views is why the legal system is so messed up, I do not care if someone came into my house and threaten me with either give me a pence or I'm going to whack you one.

He was the one who stepped outside the law, and what ever happens to him then is his own fault, had hr not tried to rob that guy he would be fine, but from your comments you more than happy see the guy getting robbed getting hit than people protecting themselves.

People like you think we should just hand it over, then when that same burglar wipes out me and my kids .....it's ooh the guys had a rough life its not his fault he just needs help.

Yeah you guessed it I have no time for people like you.

I think if you're willing to break into someones house which is their territory then you have to accept the consequences.

If you are put under threat by a burgler wielding his own weapon I personally do not see any issue with that guy doing what he done
 
Even if the force was unreasonable (within reason), I really don't think he should be prosecuted.

He was forced into the situation... the outcome is the intruders fault entirely.

My 2p.

Assuming the guy was an intruder (obviously it isn't confirmed yet) - good riddance. It's a bit odd that the friends and family of the deceased are leaving flowers outside of the home he was alleged to be stealing from though.

Wasn't David Cameron going to clarify home invasion laws (or whatever they're called) fairly soon, or has he done it already? Perhaps now would be a good time to do so.

I'm pretty sure that most of us would try and defend ourselves and our families in this kind of situation.

The burglars family have no shame leaving flowers out side the house of a burglary victims home, that could be seen as intimidation.

I think we should have the right to kill burglars armed or not, i would without a second thought.
 
I say fair play to the guy for killing the intruder,Imo you should be able to defend yourself and your property and i would have done the same.

The police aint telling you much here,the intruders could have been carrying a weapon also and it was self defence...we wont know.

If a 7 year old boy climbs over the wall into my back garden to collect his football, takes one of my flowers 'for his mam', and suggests I leave him alone or he'll 'punch me', am I allowed to hack him to pieces with a chainsaw as he tries to leave? After all, he wouldn't be dead if he stayed off my property eh, so, er, it's his fault ..? :/

Have you noticed how you change the argument before you attack it, then attack the changes you've made yourself?

Stop it.
 
I personally have no sympathy for people that are killed in these circumstances. But I do worry about more and more people acting in 'self defence' like this. Don't get me wrong this guy was brave and perhaps a hero. But there is always going to be crime and as burglars get more scared they tool up more, look at America.

Sometimes it does just make more sense to let them take what they want and claim the insurance and not risk your or your families lives by acting like Rambo.
 
should be like america give us guns to defend out homes, lets see how many burglars still dare..

you can argue the burglars would have guns but reality shows most burglars wouldnt risk it if they had to put their life on the line for a few hundred quid, and the ones that do want to risk it wont be robbing joes house on the corner for a few hundred quids worth of tat

Someone missed the joke.

I didn't, was very amusing :p

However, you do wonder that if this becomes more common place and people get away with defending their property, that this might be abused and then the joke may become reality.

The electrician came in to my house and his prices were murder.... So I killed him :p

(ok ok ok, not like that, but people being taken against their will to a house, stabbed and then they say he/she was breaking in).

I agree that you should be able to defend your own home... However the weapon of choice for me is not a knife (too scared they will rip it out of my puny hands and use it on me!), it is my trusty 6 cell maglite that always stays by the side of my bed :D Give them a good clobber and then call the police.

You know what I mean. :p

Basically what I'm saying is that those who are defending their homes/families should be cut more slack than they currently are. But not so much so that you can get away with shooting someone dead the second they set foot in your house.
