My question was to highlight the logical extrapolation of the view that states 'he's just a scrote burglar it doesn't matter if he dies'.guydarryl wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 10:14 pmPlease don't: I have grown to expect more from you.
No where do I say or suggest anything so ridiculous. If someone feels threatened and protects themselves then that can hardly be related to death penalty.
I just get pissed off with the hand wringing post event from friends and relatives about how wonderful people were when their actions show that they really were not.
I'm not defending the burglar. I'm defending the law.
I don't have sympathy for the burglar. If the homeowner acted purely out of self defence then I have deep sympathy for him - both for the trauma of being violated and for knowing that they have taken someone's life, even through self-defence. I dread to imagine how horrible both of those events must be, especially at a physically vulnerable age.
If the evidence suggests the homeowner chased after the burglar, perhaps out of revenge, and stabbed and killed him, then that is murder and the homeowner should face trial.
I am withholding my own judgement as I don't know the facts. Does anyone, here?
I have sympathy for the innocent children that the burglar has left behind, regardless of the above.
