Cyclone Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 if they are in my house I would happily stab to kill, I dont know why they are there or who is with them. As someone said above, I would rather face jail time than death or rape etc but why should I face jail time if I kill someone who has forced their way into my house, they shouldnt be there! That depends on the situation doesn't it. If you've just killed a small child or a confused alzheimers patient then you're probably looking at porridge. If you chase them from the living room and just manage to stab them as they are exiting through your window, again, it's the big house for you.

eastbank Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 It would create a spike in the murder statistics though. wouldn't be classed as murder though....he would be charged with stealing the knife....if i was the judge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I don't own anything worth killing someone for. how about your own body, your family etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is if they come at you there is still the threat of prosecution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 It would be an execution style back of the head job. They would have to kneel on the tiled part of the floor though as a round from a .44 could make a real mess on the carpets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamatron Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 but prolific burgulars commit 80% of the break ins....so topping them would reduce crime.... seriously I think this is true, you are doing a public service. As long as you don't enjoy it because that would be worrying-thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 how do you know that? It's a logical tautology, it cannot possibly be false. You're allowed to use as much force as is necessary to neutralise the threat to your property. If that can't be done short of killing someone, then you won't be charged with murder. If it could have been done, then you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threat of prosecution is right, but the expected outcome of acquittal is also correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
