The Robber is really the victim?
-
This happens quite a bit in Canada and it's fairly disgusting. I appreciate it as a tool to ensure there's good review of the evidence but the victim blaming does turn my stomach.

@Minion-Queen That's what I've always been told.

@Minion-Queen As in, kill all witnesses?

Victim-Blaming: The act of blaming some ass-hat for their own stupidity.
Example: Thug breaks into house and gets shot and killed, I think the break in victim is at fault for this, leaving their valuable school clothes out and crap, like how the heck else is he supposed to have money for school clothes?
They just wanted to be robbed, cause we're broke and they'z was flaunting it.

Here's my two cents:
You can't justify killing someone for stealing alone, however the homeowner could not have known the intention of the person breaking into their home. It's tragic that someone chose to steal and even more tragic that they died for it, but this is an unfortunate part of doing things that put people in a situation where they could feel their life is in danger.

Up-voted because it's the truth... I almost quoted the dead thug's family member...

I think whoever did it probably thought that was your own personal opinion.

You break into my house at night, you're dead.

I fixed that for you.
Yes, I am going to assume you are armed and here to hurt my family.

No one would blame you.

This is only news because that family of the thug, thinks they are entitled to compensation somehow.

This is only news because that family of the thug, thought they were always entitled to whatever they could get their hands on, even if they stole from others, because some how everyone has harmed them.
FTFY - both

Actually its way worse than that... It's news because the media thinks they will make money off it. And sadly they will.

When I worked in the legal field. Learned something fast. If you are defending yourself do it with purpose and at your full capabilities. In other words do not leave the perpetrator able to sue you for anything.
I've heard too many people say they would just shoot the person in the knee. That won't fly.

So she should have hunted down his whole family, and killed them all?
That seems like a strange thing to say... She did after all kill the guy she shot...
