there's nothing I'd love more than a burglar cutting himself on a knife in my house.... but only if I were holding it at the time....

thats just the stupid c**p people get away with in america

 

normally when they try to sue you for something like that, a counter suit is most effective

If a burglar ever enters my house he will not be alive to sue, I have a lovely hunting knife just for the occasion :)

Going back on topic it is not impossible, a couple of years back in America a burglar successfully sued for damages after he fell through a skylight on the grounds that the skylight was not secured properly or something, there was a national outcry at the time

Will you not get done for murder or whatever though?

Or can you claim it was self defense?

Hopefully it will never happen :) but I would guess self defence tbh, might get a couple of years in jail but it would be a price worth paying as if I didn't confront him he could kill me in my bed or something which doesn't bear thinking about.

Thinks like that happen in USA sometimes... They´re justice is so obsessed with reparing any damage, moral or physical, that it comes to absurds like this and ends up punishing the victim more then the evil maker.

 

I heard of cases of people who invaded mansions just to be bitten by dogs and get indenizations.

This sort of thing happened to my old form tutor's mate. A burglar came over his fence and into the garden, and tried to climb through a window only to be bitten by his dog so he ran off. The homeowner thought that was the last he'd hear of him, however got sued £500 for owning a dangerous animal or something. -_- Quite ridiculous. I wish the dog had've had rabies.

wasn't there a case where a guy died burgliong a house because he fell through the French windows he was trying to break through and severed an artery... and his family sued the victims?

Totally insane... I dont condone pre-meditated violence and procuring of illegal weapons a' la Tony Martin, but it's a bit of a bloody nerve to sue the people whose house you're robbing....

I think it's true!

It's the stupid "lets not offend anyone" rule!

it is true -_- i'm afraid to say

 

so theoretically if they're thick enoguh to trip over the cable on a TV as they run away with it, you apparently can be sued :rolleyes:

Was Tony Martin's illegal? :unsure: I don't recall that being said before.

whether it was or not, shooting someone and not knowing it could kill them is a harder one to sell even in self defence in this mess up of a legal system.

 

Protecting the rights of burglars so we have none :rolleyes:

There are loads of crazy laws in this country though. My mum and dad were being seriously pestered by youths bursting through the back hedges and running up and down the garden. My dad was going to intertwine some barbed wire in his side of the hedge to try to deter them bursting through it. However, the cops told him he couldn't because one of the chavs might hurt himself and my dad could then be charged with causing injury. :rolleyes:

 

 

Needless to say they weren't so keen on charging the chavs for the fact they affected my mums nerves so much she had to go on tablets. But Hey Ho. It's a Chavs paradise in this great country of ours.....
