Over this side of the pond, the burglar has more rights, apparently. The same situation here would have the student jailed for a long time.

Re: Note to Burglars: Don't bring a switchblade to a Samuari fight
I must confess that the sword would seem to have been "excessive force." It is probably difficult to handle safely in tight quarters, too.
Not sure how I feel about this.

We have the right to protect ourselves here. Farmer Martin would be an unknown person had he lived here, instead of a convict and cause celebre.

Perhaps "habitual offenders" don't roam as freely on your side of the pond?
It is a sad state of affairs that we: 1.) have so much crime that 2.) we need to defend ourselves.

Re: Note to Burglars: Don't bring a switchblade to a Samuari fight
This is one of those riveting stories that has gaps.
I don't think the burgular should have been killed, except he kept on advancing.
Recently Texas passed a law making it legal such an intruder can be shot dead if it's clear they were threatening (break-in, had weapon, etc)....obviously some are concerned this could be abused.

The guy was a career criminal whose criminal history included

more than two dozen arrests for burglary, breaking and entering and auto theft.

Good Riddance.
Many states have Castle Doctrine laws that exempt you from civil lawsuits. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Maryland has this. |
