I want your views on people who protect their house/family etc when someone breaks in. Not what happened to the guy who shot and killed one kid and injured another (Mr Martin I think) as I know that has been discussed to death on here before.
For me I think a lot of our laws are totally messed up and it now seems more criminals are taking legal action when something happens to them which to me just seems so stupid and wrong.
If someone was to break into my house tonight I personally wouldn't hold back at causing them pain. (of course I would make sure I put my wallet and car keys in their pocket and then a few cuts on my arms to say to the police he had stole from me and attacked me as I'm pretty sure that he would find a way to take some action against me in court even though he was breaking into my house)
What annoys me is that someonee could break into your house, steal, harm your family, rape someone etc and we have very little rights to stop them.
So how far should we be allowed to go to protect our family and home?
I think as soon as they step foot inside your house you should have the right to prevent them from stealing and causing harm to your family by any means possible.

But the law nowadays is wrong, they favour the guilty and forget the victim. Just take one look at the asylum issues (but thats a whole new topic) criminals are out of control nowadays and i feel it is also due to foreigners in the country.

*nods in full agreement*
if someone got into my house I'd kick him til he stopped moving, then kick him some more.
it is your right to ensure your house is safe
You can arrest the person yourself - if you gain them under control until the police come. Unfortuanatly though - People who are too aggressive may be charged aswell for assualt etc.
Stupid Laws.
I agree with what you are saying Aliboy.
The law should say that the moment you illegally enter private property with criminal intent then you forfeit your legal rights until you leave that property.
The problem is that victims of crime are not given enough protection and you can get situations where the instruder sues the victim for breaking a bone while trying to break-in. Ludicrous? Yes. Probable? Yes.
Who's to blame? The Government - their promises to be "tough on crime and the causes of crime" sounds hollow in my ears.

And then some fecking human rights idiot will the support the criminal if he/she gets a whupping from the person/people they are trying to rob. Also the lame old "yeah but your stolen goods will be covered by insurance" wil be used to justify the actions of some mong brain whose nicked all your stuff, sold it for 1/10th of the value and spent the proceeds on crack. hey'll then claim it's the drugs fault for making them steal.
Shoot the theives and the human rights feckers. We don't need them and life is too short and full of decent people to bother with grand notions such as rehibilitation.
