Although the subduing of the alleged robber was a tad excessive, i still think the punk got exactly what he deserved. This is the kharma he is reaping to what he sowed when he tried stupidly to rob a seemingly secure convienient store.
As for the whole person breaking into your home deal. I tend to agree with alot that you have a right to defend your property and your loved ones. You cant just stop to think,"uhh well does this person have a weapon or what are his intentions blah blah blah". Someone is trying to unlawfully enter your home,you do what is necessary to defend and protect your property. Ive said it on these boards before when these issues have been brought up and that is "If you decide to shoot the person you better make sure they are all the way in the house before you do, that way the law is pretty much on your side and wont cause too much of a fuss. At least in Texas the law gives you the right to use deadly force when someone is entering your home. I dont like the idea of killing anyone for any reason, but i will if my life or the lives of my loved ones are threatened. Good thing i live in a neighbourhood that rarely has anything remotely criminal going on to where i would have to worry as much.
Peace,TWS
It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.
