    Link.

    I cannot believe Burglars have any sort of rights, even not to be attacked....if you remove rights of the innocent, you shouldn't have any rights yourself.

    Surely it's that simple? I've never heard a good argument on the contrary.

    An investigation should and will be done, but if it turns out he was defending his home....then no charges.

    They did nothing wrong imo.

    I've been to Salford. I'd say the burglar got off lightly.

    I wish they could bring him back to life so I could have five minutes alone in a room with him.

    This thread is likely going to follow the very predictable pattern. I say we just skip all that and let Kalel and Metaldog have their discussion about the concept of evil and we can wrap this up by dinner.

    Pissy pants.

    You're right :)

    It just seems sky news and bbc news are goading the viewer, 'Very tragic' 'the poor burglar got stabbed :,(' Is there anyone out there thinking anything other than....good!

    I feel like I've been possessed by a daily mail reader, black or white o-vision

    Great big kettle of fish there, but it has to be said there is a very easy way to not get shot or stabbed or beaten to death when you're in someone else's home without permission, a way that will 100% protect you, guaranteed, from ever being in any danger while in someone else's home uninvited.

    We could move onto the discussion of Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good?

    I think the law is designed to protect the innocent. I mean, what if you went to the wrong house, were mistakenly on someone else's property, and end up getting killed over what was just an honest mistake? If we could legally kill people who trespass on our property, the worry is that innocent people would die.

    I'm quite happy to sit in the camp that says you should be allowed to defend yourself and your property. However, I won't comment and this particular case until I've read some more as stabbed to death sounds a bit...

    I will put this out there now while people are gathering their straw, protection of property from burglars by way of force is not about protecting your Xbox from someone walking off with it, it is about protecting yourself and your family from the fucking horrible fear that is someone coming in and (hopefully) just robbing you.

    Pissy pants.

    srsly though, before pants are bunch, they were arrested, not convicted, with the arrest being fairly standard in cases where people are STABBED TO DEATH.

    Its easy to jump to conclusions both ways but he fact is that the law defines defending yourself with excessive force illegal. The fuzz are now going to decide whether knifing someone was excessive, which it possibly could have been despite this families home being their castle.

    I'm going to invite Ka-Blamo round to my house, then brutally murder him and call the police. When the fuzz turn up to find me skullfucking his corpse I'll say I caught him breaking in and refer them to the OP.

    And then get on with the skullfuckery until the explosion of jizz pops his eyes out and forces brain matter through his ears.

    LB, you really are a massive geek.

    The real criminals are those who create the material conditions which encourage petty crime to exist. I'm sorry if I sound like a cliché saying that but I find this whole story a distraction from that important point. Why does crime exist?

    There are obviously gray areas and exceptions, like everything else on the planet.....but the one we're talking about was 4 men in balaclavas wearing black entering the house.

    "At least one stab wound" a policeman said on the news, so if it's one stab wound....then that seems different to me, stabbed to death seems like they were peppered, but we'll wait and see.

    Stabbing him to death is such a pussy-assed thing to do! Why didn't they strip him down and pour acid on his balls, then behead him slowly with a dull blade.

    Now that's mob justice right there! And there's no justice like mob justice.

    Eh? So it's the homeowner's fault he gets robbed because he had a shit load of expensive stuff inside?

    It's fairly important that everybody has the same basic rights, otherwise you get into messy situations with people kidnapping burglars and keeping them as sex slaves etc.

    Those basic rights include the right to defend and protect yourself btw, before anyone thinks I'm "siding" with the burglar.
