Violence...or self defence??


I believe that we should have the right to defend ourselves if in danger. Violence out right is just wrong, people should be able to control their temper and respect others. Fighting just causes pain and even serious injury, that most of the time is not necessarily needed. It can cause extreme repercussions; a bruise or a broken bone may heal but the psychological factors could linger for longer periods of time and affect individual’s lives and others around them, like family and friends.

A case that comes to mind is the case of Tony Martin. He lived in a farmhouse and became so terrorised by burglars, who continually broke into his farmhouse, that he was afraid to leave his home and moved all his furniture to the attic and that is where he lived. The final time he was burgled he was so afraid, he shot the intruder and was prosecuted and sent to prison for this action. Please can somebody tell me where the justice for this is? If the guy hadn’t broken in, he would be alive. There have been cases in law where intruders have broken in to someone’s house, fallen down stairs and sued the home owners and won the case! What is wrong with society today…How is that alright?

If someone is breaking into your property, you should have the right to defend it, without being prosecuted for your actions…it’s YOUR property!!!!

Personally I think it is bad behaviour from the law to assume that people are not going to protect their home; which they’ve worked hard to make…and their FAMILY…of course people are and they should not be penalised if they do so. The law is teaching people it’s ok if you break in to somebody’s house…hey if you trip over or get hurt…you could get more money out of them.

The law has gone mad…people are so obsessed with human rights it ignores right and wrong…and I don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon.

So violence… yes it’s wrong. HOWEVER, when in self defence…whether on the street, or in your home I completely agree! Kick some ass!
