You people don't seem to be listening to what I'm saying. At no point did I say you should just let burglars do what ever they please. All I said is that you have a right to defend yourself and that is it. The law says you may use "reasonable force" and that is totally correct as far as I'm concerned. You people seem to want to live in a world where there are no courts and no police and where if you feel someone's sinned against you you have the right to do what ever the hell you want with them. I'm sorry but that's not a world I want to inhabit.

What you people fail to realise is there's a very good reason why the justice system is set up the way it is. If you let people go around dispensing their own form of "justice" that's where innocent people can get hurt.
