This isn't anything new. A court of justice will determine if he had used an appropriate amount of violence. Happens in the States as well.
When there is an intruder in your home who attacks you, any amount of violence is appropriate.
Case should be thrown out. The appropriate amount of violence when someone breaks into your home is dismembering them one piece at a time until they die, then mailing the remains to the persons family only to then put them on a new Saw-type show where you slowly kill his whole family.
The fact, he's alive means he didn't use enough force so I could fathom an argument for punishing him for letting the intruder live. Not a good look. At the least, he should have had the intruder on display while hanging on a pike completely through him then posted on social media and had a BBQ with the neighbors to admire the display.
I don't agree with that. If you've got to kill something, you make it as quick as you are able. I don't torture vermin, and I don't think you should torture human vermin either.
I disagree. We still talk about Vlad the Impaler to this day. You want to make sure no one breaks and enters into people's home? Let's make their death so publicly gruesome, they're talking about it 500 years later.
He’s remembered for doing a gruesome act. He’s less remembered for still losing the war to the Ottomans.
To each their own.
Actions have consequences.
That it does some states whose governments mores aligns with that of a commonwealth.
The arrest and trial IS THE PUNISHMENT. The Crown knows they have almost zero chance of success, but they use this to send a clear message: let the invaders take whatever they want, including your children. Never lift a finger to stop them... or else!
This man will be in jail for a time, have his entire life ruined and face gigantic legal costs even if given "free defense lawyers".
