Violence against burglars

[kukushkin88]

do you

a)let him go
b)bash him

if b, how many times?

Easy, let him go.

What happens if someone enters my garden and gets torn to shreds by my dog?

There's a 6ft fence all the way round so it's not easy to access.

There's approximately a 100% chance that if someone entered my garden and the dog could get at them that he would cause considerable harm.

One of the reasons that I keep him locked away is because I worry about what he might do to an intruder.

I don't care about the intruder but if I had to have Ronnie put down for ripping someone's face off it would be awful.

I think that you'd be OK if you ripped a burglar's face off, but Ronnie would probably not be looked on as favourably.  That's based on zero legal-knowledge, but just based on how it seems the courts tend to treat dogs that have injured someone.  If the dog mauled the burglar to defend you, then I guess that might be looked on differently.

Even in the forces when you are given a rifle, with live ammunition intended to kill, there are so many rules and stipulations. Basically unless something is immediately going to endanger human life then all you can use is necessary force. Shooting someone in the knees is classed as excessive and will probably see you go to prison.

If you saw someone cutting the head off your dog, looting your grandmother's jewelry box or even raping someone you can't use anything but necessary force. Property, animals, theft mean nothing.

My wife's house was burgled as a child and they left muddy footprints on her floor and bed and that seems to have left some scars with her.

I personally would like to be able to use lethal force in order to protect my own property. I have a metal pipe by the side of my bed and a hunting knife in my bedside draw and would be prepared to use either of them if necessary.

I was pretty small until the age of 16, at the age of 10 i moved from safe/friendly York to a culturally diverse area of Manchester, i was mugged 5 times in 4 years and witnessed some horrific sights. One time i had a knife held to me. Everytime i gave them whatever they wanted without a fight as this is what i had been told to do.  Normally it was my mum's money, my walkman etc. No justice was ever done, the police never got anything back, even though they said they knew who one of them was. One time i was bunking off school and was on my way to see my mate who was suspended, i got mugged and couldn't even tell anyone it had happened. that was fun.

When i was 16 i moved to South London, (Streatham right next to Brixton) i was probably about 6ft 1 at this time and had been subjected to a quick lesson in becoming street wise. Had heard all sorts of stories, but was completely sick of being a victim. I vowed never to let anyone mug/ mug me off again. Only one time was some crack head stupid enough to try and rob me [ ] he got anything from me, [ x ] i smashed his face in, since that day only one bad thing has happened to me and that was my own fault when i had a machete pulled on me in a place called Ocho Rios in Jamaica. [ x ] was told not to leave the resort at night, [ ] listened..

In short if anyone has the cheek to try rob my house they are getting it. simples. Insurance doesn't replace everything.

One of my uncles who owned a restaurant was put in prison because when someone tried to do a runner, another family member stepped infront of the entrance. The 'runner' then started beating up his person until my uncle came from the kitchen with a knife and stabbed the guy. To me seems like fair game, but not to the law.

The fact that a homeowner will in all likelihood be angry/afraid makes it very difficult for them to respond in a measured/considered way. Obviously the law requires that the response is reasonable in terms in force and quite rightly so. I don´t have any sympathy for someone who breaks in to a house and gets a whack/rottweiler bite for their trouble but they certainly aren´t fair game for umilimited violence.

IMO the law on this is a load of bollocks. You break into someones house you deserve any beating you get.
If you do encounter a burgler and give a beating, hit/stab/shoot the front of the torso.

I have a few stories of "friends".

Someone tried to rob his garage and he took a sand iron and rushed in dropped them both with two swings...blood everywhere. Friend put iron bar next to them while they were sparko on floor, pigs come and stright away said were they tooled up. The police know the score nowt was ever took further with my friend the two thiefs were in hostpial for weeks.

I abs crazy mate of mine was off his head doing wizz, *that still around?* and some men entered his flat and started creeping up the stairs. Mate jumps down 20+ stairs on to them and hurts them bad. They aint moving, my mates happy but did his back in and later found out he broke it. He wishes he never bothered with it and let them take what they wanted.

Currently if someone entered my house i would attack them with a large club, when you got small kids you cant risk it.

I would like to inflict as much pain as possible to any person or persons who threatened my family or invaded my home.
In reality I'd be out of breath before I got to the bottom of the stairs.
