The article specifically states that the intruder was charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Its likely the victims use of force prevented the weapon being used against the victim.
So if somebody breaks into your home with a weapon, you should just assume they’re just there for a friendly chat or what? What a braindead take. Have a nice funeral.
And investigations are launched in those incidents to determine things like whether it was actually a deadly weapon or an inhaler that the cops lied about.
I am advocating to do what I need to do to neutralize a home intruder. If they happen to end up dead, I don’t want to be blamed for it. Self defense is not an exact science and I think making homeowner considering the wellbeing of the intruder is ridiculous.
Now that’s a disingenuous situation. Let’s say she attacks you with a knife and in that lunge you grab her hand and make her stab herself. You still lose that.
But the best case scenario is 5 min response, and you’re facing a meth addict with a gun. What the heck are you supposed to do, besides defend yourself and family with whatever is at hand? Lunacy.
If someone intrudes are you just supposed to let them?

Ad hominim. What are you to do if someone breaks into your home with a weapon then?
And investigations are launched in those incidents to determine things like whether it was actually a deadly weapon or an inhaler that the cops lied about.
How does that help when someone breaks into your home with a weapon? That comes after the event, not during.
Huh? How does the text not support this being likely?

We can absolutely conclude what was likely
I get your example, and you should probably resist killing your ex. Any other rando appearing inside your house should be dealt with.

Well, it is a police matter right?

When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.
No, it’s fine. You can trust the state’s monopoly on violence. No way that could ever be used against you.
In Canada it is illegal to not offer intruders beer in evenings or coffee in the mornings.
