Man who knocked down house burglar acquitted
Here's an interesting story that was in the Irish news recently. A man who woke to find a burglar in his bedroom, chased him in his car and knocked him down. He's been acquitted of any crime but the burglar received €175k from the man insurance company. Thoughts?

Hmm, its a toughie, i dont condone vigilante behaviour...but then again i dont think the guy deserved the payout due to the circs.

Why is the burglar getting money at all..you decide to steal, then whatever happens to you is tough luck

If someone was in your room in the middle of the night I think it's only natural for the first thought in your head to be ''wheres the nearest blunt object I can kill this guy with''

On your property you have a case, outside of it you dont.

Working within Laws but this is wrong and stinks |
And they say that crime doesn't pay.
