Quote:
Seems to be more and more common that the police feel the incident could easily be self defense, but members of a forum condemn the citizen.
It appears that some are rather phobic in that respect.
Once again someone has condemned the intended VICTIMS and claimed they put themselves in the situation by FORCING the criminal to defend himself after committing an armed invasion of their home.

See that word I highlighted ?
AFTER ?
Once the threat is over, and the BG is
gone,
there is no threat.
If he is
in your house, and
threatening you, or your family, he is a
threat, and
whatever force is necessary to protect yourself within your State laws is certainly warranted.
If he flees the scene, the threat is
over, if you chase him down
you are the
aggressor, and he can defend himself same as you. A firearm is
not a license to exact revenge.
You are
not empowered to rid the world of scum, only to protect your life from an
immediate threat.
This is
not rocket science, but it sure is confusing to some.
