Assault charges dropped against Ontario man who confronted home intruder - Lemmy.ca
Hmmm. The article indicates a broken window, and further ‘medical and forensic
evidence’. If the broken window was the point of access, it might indicate that
a lot of the cuts sustained by the alleged intruder could be traced to the
broken glass. That fact would change the entire scenario. It then becomes ‘much
ado about nothing’.
The United States has a lot of fucking awful laws and rules, but one of the few I actually agree with is castle doctrine, or at least a reasonable interpretation of it. Anyone entering the interior of my home with intention to do harm while breaking things without significant advance warning and just cause and/or my explicit permission should have no legal expectation of safety and no legal protection, and there should be no consequences whatsoever if I decide to unleash my inner Kevin McCallister on their soon-to-be-very-sorry ass. FAFO.
