Modern American law precludes defense of property.
If in doubt, let them take it. It will be cheaper.
An El Paso County jury on Friday awarded nearly $300,000 to the daughter of a burglar who was fatally shot in 2009 while breaking into an auto lot.
Parents of the victim, Robert Johnson Fox, embraced their attorneys after a judge announced the jury's verdict, capping a two-week-long civil trial in which business owner Jovan Milanovic and two relatives were painted as vigilantes who plotted a deadly ambush rather than let authorities deal with a string of recent burglaries.
Interesting finding by police, knives are not really weapons. Kinda.
Police said in a 145-page investigative report that the intruder had knives in his pockets and one strapped to his ankle, but never posed a threat to Milanovic or the other men, his father Ljuban Milanovic and brother-in-law Srdjan Milanovic.
So armed robbery isn't really "armed" if the robber doesn't have as good a weapon as you do. Please note, the business owner and his two friends were NOT CHARGED BY POLICE, because it was a righteous shoot and the DA knew he wasn't going to get a conviction.
The situation in Canada is much, much worse. If you kill a robber you will be charged with murder even if the guy shoots you first.
I reiterate, LET THEM TAKE IT. Because the robbers can't take everything you own or ever hope to, but their lawyers can.
