Lad breaks into a house and is killed...

Didn't say I agree. But it's what I understand the law to be in a very condensed-simplified version.
Burglary is not a minor crime, it is not nice and we rightly have a right to defend ourselves. Just a shame it doesn't go further.
Quoted for ironing.
Also note that some people breaking into houses may not be going to steal things, people have other agendas. There is no way of knowing if the person is a murderer, rapist or some pedo or something.
People will mostly in the heat of the moment assume the worst and do things that in a calm and collected state they would not do.

I think any homeowner would do the same, your home is your castle and you only let people in that you want to so when someone breaks in you will defend it and its possession, you work hard all week to have a nice life and some scrote thinks its ok to take your possessions.
You dont know what they are packing so either they run or you attack them first.

Because it solves nothing. All you ever see with these types of cases are the "good riddance" type comments where people live in the delusion that by killing the criminal somethings actually been solved.
People are always going to commit crime. You can't just take the law into your own hands at every opportunity. Yes, its his choice to burgle and yes, he does run a serious risk of being harmed but that does not make killing him automatically okay.
I'm not 100% but there's a VERY good chance he won't do it again...

Erm, obviously that particular individual won't do it again.
But will it solve any wider problems or the root cause? No.
If everyone stabbed every person who broke in, there would be a hell of a lot less burglars around. So in essence yes it would achieve something, also people are less likely to burgle if they feel they are going to die doing so.

Sounds like /b/ has had a go at the description
Thing is with comments like the below it's not surprising people will be quick to assume the worse of him.
"Chek ow u can only hate on facebook u sad ********. Cum 2 bulwell n c wot da 500 man dat joined dis group do 2 ya innit.... Nor i didnt fink so cor u no wot u wud get n there sure as hell wudnt b 500 man sayin rip 2 u"
I have no idea what language that is, it not what I speak that's for sure.

I'm not sure why it has to solve some wider problem or the root cause? It could mean someone doesn't get burgled tonight, bonus. Or it may not, nothing lost then.
Saying that, having it happen frequently enough it might evolve into a bigger solution. Is that what you wanted to hear?
Totally agree and i certainly wont be loosing any sleep over one less scumbag in the world.
IMHO any response is justified while protecting your family in there own home

The law seldom works on these people though from what I see, chances are they'd be out in a week reoffending.
That's why when I hear a story like this I think "good stuff".
I get where you're coming from, instant death shouldn't be the only punishment for burgarly. However, they know the risks, as a result death = justice.
