Logic like this is already invading the USA. God help us all...

I don't know where in the US, but I've read that some judges have ruled that the occupant has a duty to retreat (in his/her home) from intruders, i.e., not to defend thier home and property.

In the small town where I lived when I attended College, there was an incident in which an armed criminal who was breaking into a home was shot and killed by the occupant.

In a queer twist of legal maneuvering, the homeowner was charged with manslaughter, because even though armed, the intruder wasn't quite through the window when he was shot, and fell outside.

Several weeks later, the local Sheriff came door to door and told us all "If you have to shoot someone breaking into your home, make sure to drag him inside BEFORE you call us"

England is getting so "civilized" they are in grave danger of becoming "uncivilized".

And they just can't figure out why their breaking/entering/murder rate is going up????!!!

They know. They just don't want to say.
