The bias and emotions of cops and prosecutors doing Monday-morning quarter-backing of life and death situations influence decisions of Justice. What could possibly go wrong? Home-invasion stabbing death in Halifax tests self-defence law | Winnipeg Sun
Two guys try to invade a home in Halifax, Nova Scotia. One of them gets stabbed by a resident of the home. He dies of his injuries.
But police announced Monday that no charges are being considered in the incident three days ago in Halifax, saying the dead man was one of two attempting to invade the blue clapboard house.
It’s the latest in a string of similar confrontations across the country that has tested Canada’s self-defence laws, and the limits of a homeowner’s right to defend their place of residence.
There is more on this incident, and some on other, recent cases of self-defense in Canada where the authorities went bat-shit crazy because HOW DARE YOU not rely on the state.
“It has been dealt with on a very uneven basis,” charges Ontario lawyer Edward Burlew, who specializes in firearms-related cases. “It has been primarily driven by the individual opinions and emotions of police and prosecutors.”
I mean you can't let the peons rely on themselves. Individual responsibility? Why, the next thing you know, they will be thinking for themselves.
In the meantime, maybe the Canadian bad-guys will get the message that crime is a dangerous business to be in. Though I doubt they are any smarter than the American bad guys.
And whatever the authorities might think, self-defense is a human-right. Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0.
