@Britboy from page 1. Yes I could hack him to pieces, but why doesn't the child have the curtsey to use my front door? Just because I can, doesn't mean I should. There has to be an element of common sense included in the law. Guy hoping over your fence with a knife is a different matter. Common sense and balance seem to be lacking in modern life, and most arguments on GD for that matter.
Here's to another one being released without charge, hopefully...

Imagine waking up to some random scum **** walking around your house? I'd be shouting take what you want but if you come near me/children you're dead to me.
Then I'd jump on their heads until they didn't move as they were in my home.

I think you should have the right to defend your home and family.
If some scroat decides to break in and gets hurt or killed because of it then more fool him.
And the other guy that took off in the van best count himself lucky. He took part in a criminal act that resulted in death, if he were in the US he would be charged with felony murder.

Considering that the normal knee-jerk reaction is that any claim of defence is true, any degree of force is reasonable and that it's shocking that anyone is arrested after saying they killed in defence, extreme comparisons are appropriate.
As for choosing "here's to another one being released without charge, hopefully" as the thread title and stating "good riddance" as a response to someone being stabbed to death, then claiming that the intended meaning was expressing hope that the killing was an unintended consequence of necessary force in defence...well, that's sillier than some of the insults in this thread. It's a totally poopy-head argument.
Cue the people saying that because I don't think everyone should have carte blanche to kill anyone in whatever way they feel like, call it defence and not even be arrested for it, I must think that everyone should have carte blanche to do anything they want and nobody is allowed to try to stop them. It doesn't make any sense, obviously, but it is the usual response.

Hopefully those floral tributes are disposed of quickly, absolute disgrace to allow scum to leave a tribute to a criminal outside the victims house.
I cant imagine my reaction if an intruder came into my house, I'd assume brown trousers... If I was near the kitchen knives I dare say one would be grabbed and waved frantically.. Dont know what happened in this situation, but I'd hope the homeowner was given the benefit of the doubt in this situation. If it wasnt for those guys burgling someones house, theyd both be alive.
As for Britboys typical postings... LOL.
Need his avatar changed to trollface.

It's not trolling. Anyone breaking into your property is fair game if you are trying to defend your family and property. Serves the burglar right.

thing is, you never know how normal people (the victim) will react when put into this, a highly stressful, situation once the adrenaline kicks in.
it’s also not like in the movies and on tv which can make fights and fighting, look easy, quite clean / choreographed, *** for tat and well balanced. you certainly don’t know what your assailant is capable of or what weapons they may be carrying
unless you have had some substantial experience though real fighting (not just a controlled martial art in a gym) and weapon training would you actually know what to do with a knife?
worse thing you could do is lightly injure or poke the intruder with a quick jab which only enrages them (a potentially dangerous criminal and you don't know just how dangerous) so they then turn on you. there were also two of them so going anything short of mental at both would be a huge risk as one could easily over power you, whilst you are attacking the other. again its not like the movies, people don’t just line up and go in one at a time
if someone broke into my house I have no idea how I would react but if I were to attack the intruder, I would not want to give them any opportunity to remain standing, otherwise I would just let them get on with it.

Ditto. I wouldn't be happy at all, and would definitely confront any individuals I found standing outside my property to mourn.
Take it to the bloody graveyard.

Agreed.
Castiel for PM
If someone ever broke into my gaff, I would knock seven shades of **** out of the tea leaf, and then kick him down the stairs. Phone police, say I startled him and he tripped...profit.
Clearly you've not watched enough Reality crime TV or CSI/Dexter/Breaking Bad
Knock him out, dump him in the sulphuric acid barrel in the basement!
"Oh, look honey, there's a local man in the paper reported missing!"

or
"Oh, look honey, we should have bought the house with the basement".
So if I can round to your house with a knife, broke in and demanded that you and over your valuables you'd be happy enough to let me get on with it?
In which case put the kettle on and send me your address in trust
Does he realise your not meant to count the decimal point?
Cashier number 2 please!!!
