I saw lots of beta comments related to this arrest that it was fine to defend yourself against a home intruder, but not to beat them within an inch of their life.
Just a slippery slope from "You aren't allowed to take a life to defend your property" & "You can't claim self defense if you engage car thieves in your driveway"
People who say shit like that put too much faith in the average person's ability to gauge such things, or to control the aggression they have spent their whole lives trying to deny even exists within themselves instead of honing the ability to use it appropriately.
The same people who scream that the police are being to violent, when put into a shoot-no-shoot scenario, almost universally shoot too early for petty things.
It's projection. "I'd bludgeon that man to death for scuffing my shoes, so the police must have done the same".
There's absolutely a point where it morphs into kidnapping and murder if you keep the intruder hostage, torture them, and kill them.
However, I doubt that's the case here.
Possessions simply aren't worth a human life. So please, stop invading people's homes.
This, yes.
Exactly! Leftists will LEAP to conclusions to push their agenda. No facts required.
Did the police report say how many times the invader (who was armed!) got hit? It might have been once? It might have been 20 times? Is this known yet? I actually don't know, but I'm betting it isn't.
You beat them until they successfully run away (somehow) or surrender (and throw their weapon away). Until the threat is gone.
Doesn't matter to them. It could have even been "the guy tripped falling down the stairs with his cane, the cane flew from his hands and hit the intruder in the head" and the lefties would say to kill the old man, and give the poor home invader free alcohol and handjobs.
