Hello everyone
A few days ago some teenagers/young adults broke into a car-workshop with an adjacent private home.
The owner, a competition-shooter (who later claimed to have seen a gun on the attackers) shot one of the teenagers, who then proceeded to run, and made it to the street corner before he was caught and brought to hospital, where he died.
It was there that the doctors handed a loaded pistol he'd been carrying over to the police.
Now, what do you think should happen to the home-owner?
Right.
He lost his permit to own firearms, and is being charged with manslaughter.
Because, from what the police said, he basically would have had to argue the attackers into leaving.
If you ask me, that doesn't feel quite right.
But, to quote my economics-teacher:
"Law is politics, and politics are NOT ALLOWED to make sense."
What do you think of the way the case was handled?
Self-defense, or did the home-owner use unneeded force/violence?
