      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.

              How does that help when someone breaks into your home with a weapon? That comes after the event, not during.

              Ad hominim. What are you to do if someone breaks into your home with a weapon then?

          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.

          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.
