Should this be a crime?

Okay, we're even. I'm moving on.

It's called the Castle Doctrine. Florida has an even better Stand your ground law. You are no longer required to make every possible effort to get away from a threat before dealing with it.

so it is legal to shoot someone in my house or at the very least break their legs?

 

[channarox]

heck no!
its called self-defence...in a way.
unfortunately the way law works these days is

Don't for get the guy who stole a dirt bike and ran into a ditch while trying to get away, breaking his leg when he landed and sued the owners and won a million dollars They should have had a sign that read dear robbers beware of ditch. criminals get off for the smallest technicality but try and defend you're family or property and they will lock you up in a heart beat in this country. There was a lot less crime in this country when everyone wore sidearms and could defend themselves....

I havent read this thread just the first post. But thieves\criminals have more rights then we do. Stories\jokes of someone breaking into your house falling down your stairs or some how hurting them selves in your house then suing you have actually happened and they have won...

now that is F'd up never mind stealing their car...

Yeah check what legal in your area. I know in ohio it's break into my house I can shot first. but it's a very new law past less then a year ago. I feel beter with this law. I don't care what anyone says if someone breaks into my house I would rather shot then let something happen to my family b/c I'm not allowed to legally do anything to them till they do something to me. hell by that time it's to late more often then not.

no way.. i think its genius because the robbers are being double robbed!The boyishly cute gypsy reluctantly worshipped the sugar-coated mudpie. The hairless tap dancer patiently drove right over the shriveled up skunk cabbage.The squeezably soft extra terrestrial delicately poked a stick at the prizewinning duckweed pie.The miniscule sleepwalker amazingly sprinkled pixie dust on the monkey's vat of refried beans. The miniscule sleepwalker amazingly sprinkled pixie dust on the monkey's vat of refried beans. The nearsighted hypnotist enthusiastically cuddled with the shriveled up panda sandwich. The nearsighted hypnotist enthusiastically cuddled with the shriveled up panda sandwich. The toga-wearing mysterious stranger obliviously gulped down the gargantuan elbow macaroni. The sunburned derelict reluctantly auctioned off the dreaded wad of prechewed salt-water taffy. The squeezably soft hypnotist nervously liquified the toxic pile of kitty litter.

i voted yes only because there may not be a way around the legal system.

he maybe should've just took the keys and hop the fence to a neighbors yard or hid somewhere and called 911
