And burglars should lose all their rights. But that said - it's just an incentive to bury them in your back yard once you're finished with them. It's not like they told anyone they were going to your house is it?
Do they loose every shred of humanity as soon as they enter the door, can you not see how alarmist you sound?
Are you really justifying ANY action on them? I dispare.
Why don't we just execute every single person who has a criminal record? At the end of the day, those who commit crimes, be burglary, pickpocketing or common assault forfeit all their rights, correct? :rolleyes:
Come to Britain Taliban, your true home is here.
I'm not defending burglers, its a horrid crime, but please the punishment should fit the crime.
The ironic thing is that the "no rights for criminals" believe that breaking into a house is unacceptable, but that killing someone is okay...
i agree with MOK that yes, it's only material things that can usualy be replaced. the thing i think most of you are missing out on is the REALITY ...of being confronted by a very determined and scary individual in the last place on this earth he should be ...at the foot of your bed willing to win ...
in a way i kind of hope it happens to some of you. then come back here and tell me how many rights the guy was infringing. tell me when if ever you have gotten over the ordeal.
i consider myself to be a fairly tough man. i can handle myself. i can handle most things. but i have met the people, know the attitude and instinct that drives them ...so that they survive ...they win ...they get away.......meaning your going to loose sucker!
if someone bursts into your house while your chopping onions with a cleaver and the guy goes to grab your wife or child are you going to seriously think of the burglars rights to be treated kindly ...are you going to pause to see if he's realy mean or he's just bluffing? or are you going to sink that cleaver into his arm ...save your child from god knows what happening?
most of you will pause ...then you'll miss his arm and accidently sink it in his head ...from law abiding citezen to murderous scum ...all becuase you were chopping onions ...
And what I find very disturbing is that some people seem to imply that there is nothing wrong with murdering someone in such circumstances.
Imagine that Martin had managed to knock one of them unconscious and tie him up securely. In is hypothetical scenario, I get the impression that if Martin then had chosen to grab a chainsaw and cut the man in pieces instead of calling the police some people here would not object to that.
but ...what happens in the house ...in the fear and confusion and with adrenalin pumping as a natural survival mechanism ...the inocent householder has to be supported ...if the burglar were to have his fingers cuaght in the cleaver ...no way can compensation be claimed or criminal damages be sought. it's just not on. and ...if the bastard bleeds to death ...not my fault, i was at home chopping onions your honour ...the dead guy was commiting an act of terrorism. for terror is what it is.
for gawds sake we aint all murdering bastards, we dont want to kill but if I hit someone over the head with the nearest heavy object I found and knocked him unconcious should I be sent to prison? bear in mind i would have done this because i was scared shitless.
Its about time some of you thought about the victim here, its always the innocent victim who gets picked on :rolleyes:
I don't think that a homeowner has the right to do ANYTHING to a burglar.
Still a homeowner should have the right to defend their property. If this includes wounding someone, then so be it.
Whats up cant you make your mind up ?
You dont think a homeowner has the right to do anything to a burglar but they have the right to defent their property even if it includes wounding someone
I cant work that one out :rolleyes:
I can 'work it out'. :cool:
A homeowner should do what is prudent to defend his/her property. This does not mean literally anything imaginable.
Go on admit you were wrong.............go on DO IT.............DO IT NOW :hyper: :hyper:
Yay you just made my night :hyper:
Come on monocrat you know you are dying to reply
I got ya well and truly there didnt I
I wasn't wrong...:p :cool:
