In a public place however, if the dog is out of control and bites somebody, then it's fully understandable that you should get sued. Dog should at least be muzzled, and preferably not exercised around other people where they may be at risk.
If your dog took a bite out of someone holding you with a knife he is more likely to be in the local paper as a hero, not put down.
yeh, i got saved from muggers/assaulters (both involve trying to beat me up) by someone elses pitbull
strangely enough when i was patting it afterwards it was barking at any asian person who passed (as it confused them and the muggers)
Perhaps you weren't aware of the full facts of the case? Nobody disputes that Martin took careful aim and shot while the kid was running away. His life was in no danger whatsoever- of that there was no doubt either, not in Martin's mind, not in anybody else's.
So basically he murdered a human being as a punishment for breaking and entering and/or to prevent him running away with property of his.
That's all you need to realise what kind of man Martin is.
I think people are missing the principle here.
It's not the fact someone wants to steal my stuff, I mean, that pisses me off, but I have insurance, it's the fact someone BROKE INTO MY HOME.
If I saw them nicking something out of the garden or my car from out front then I'd try and give them a slap but that would be it.. but not in my house..
Your house is where you are supposed to be safe and secure, and where my fiance and son can relax and also feel secure.
My fiance suffers anxiety/panic attacks and depression and was agrophobic for a long time, something like that happening in my place would have serious knock on effects, I would probably have to move, and she would never be the same again so yeah I'd fucking shoot, if they got aggresive towards me, I'd be aiming right between the eyes.
Lots of people suffer anxiety attacks and feel vulnerable even though their home is "safe," no excuse though for killing someone just because they break into your house. I'm surprised at your post though, thought you would have a bit more sense.
However, if anyone forcefully enters my house, and my child is there, they are going to be on the receiving end of something.. If they were running away I doubt I would do anything, but otherwise, if they are in my house, it would be act first, question later.
I will never have my sons safety brought into question, I would do anything to ensure his safety first and I have no shame in that.
I didn't insinuate that you were stupid or inferior mate.
And if you felt for one second that your son's, yourself or your wife's life was in danger then by all means do what's neccesary to get the cunt. But acting violently just on the sole merit that someone was just looking a bit of loot then it's not really on. The law is on our side, even more so now than a few years ago, no need to act violently and cause serious harm or death to anyone.
I don't think Territ is sick at all i think the blokes got a point.
If someone comes in threatens your family/safety/secruity(sp) and is trying to nick your stuff then I think you have ever fucking right to defend yourself against him and if that means shooting then so be it the thieving prick shouldnt be there in the first place !! (to make it clear i dont actually mean kill cos thats a bit strong unless he was trying to kill the persons house he came in)
i feel quite strongly about this cos a few of my mates and done house robberies and i think its sick stealing stuff from someones house while they are all alseep. PLus quite a few people i know like family friends and that have been burgled before too and i feel sorry for them. ... anyway
dont be so ridiculous !
I actually agree with you.
But maybe sometimes you make things harder for yourself, i ment that nicely though
Defending yourself is one thing (I don't think anyone would disagree that you have the right to defend yourself). Shooting someone in the back when they are running away is another thing.

*snigger*
There are convicted burglars one would be quite content to socialise with (as with my sister-in-law's husband, falling foul of the law when you're young and stealing from houses to pay for drugs doesn't mean the rest of your life is fucked), and there are householders you would run a mile from. Nothing's cut and dried.
:yes:
If however it had been the case that the homeowner overpowered the burglar and then threw him out of the window as punishment/revenge but the police cannot prove this then it wouldn't be good at all. We shall never know.
Sister-in-laws husband, isnt that more commonly known as a brother?
Depends if your sister-in-law is your wife's sister or not...
As opposed to...
How can you get a sister-in-law who is not married to your brother?
If your twice removed pet goldfish died in Chernobyl then the rules are different.
Your partner's sister? Are they also called sister-in-law?
I have a brother in law and his wife is my sister
I have another brother in law who is my wife's brother - his wife is not my sister.
So Uncle Joe could easily have a sister in law who's husband isn't his brother...
