The difference is I wasn't equipped with a knife.
That's no difference at all - if you had been standing in your kitchen you could quite easily and without malice picked up a knife to protect yourself, couldn't you?
If someone enters your property tooled up then I really have no sympathy for the assailant. Sorry. You commit burgularly knowing the risks. If you don't then you really are abit stupid. A Garden is different- its not in an enclosed space or invasion of someones actual home.
Assailant means "attacker" - who are you referring to? Someone who enters property without permission or even burgles isn't necessarily an attacker. The police officer that Noye killed - was he an "assailant" as far as you're concerned?
How does the occupant know whether the other person is armed or not? Is there a different risk or sympathy level for a burglar that isn't "tooled up" compared to one that is?
Someone who enters my (hypothetical) garden is entering my property, and they are usually enclosed by fences or walls.
I love these threads.
Please leave the law to people who know what it is and get back to your homoerotic fantasies (hora).
To be fair, he wanted to batter the burglar, not pork him.
Porking a burglar.
Back to the basement again! 🙂
Update;
"A man who fatally stabbed an intruder during an alleged burglary at his home in Greater Manchester will not be charged over the death."

All these intruders are getting hurt or killed and yet they continue. How long before they get the message?
