All The More Reason


The right to self–defence

This is an unbelievable story from the ever reliable Daily Mail. It describes how a man has been arrested in regards to the death of a burglar who fell from his house. If a man breaks into my house, do I really want to be worrying about what the magistrate might charge me with after the fact? Surely if we can’t defend the idea of survival within one’s domain, where can we? What I find upsetting in this case is that the man was arrested. I can understand the need for an investigation, but to be arrested? But as always, I’m willing and eager to hear the other side on this, if there is one.
