that the Man who killed a burglar he saw breaking into his house should not be jailed for 19 years

[LargeDeviation]

He saw the man breaking into his house on a video doorbell, armed himself with a knife and went with his half-brother and killed the burglar. He has been jailed for 19 years.

Yes the violence he used was very extreme, but the burglar was breaking into his home! It is unreasonable to expect a dispassionate response. People should be able to defend their home and their family from intruders, including using force which would be considered unlawful or unreasonable in other settings.

Even if he must be found guilty by law, the sentence should take the circumstances into account and it should be a slap on the wrist.

Indeed. It all links. If you think an intruder is going to have firearms then you make sure you have your own (and know how to use them, which is the important bit).

if the thief turned up armed, attacked the home owner then chased him down as he ran away up the street to finish the job by repeatedly stabbing him then there is no way that wouldn't have been murder and given a harsher sentence than if he has stabbed the home owner while being disturbed during the robbery.

The problem is the Police are useless.

I can't believe anyone is defending either of these career criminal thugs. They've lived their lives by heaping misery onto other people's heads and then living off that misery.

I am quite happy that the burglar is dead and the drug dealer is going to jail for a long time. But I'd be happier if he was serving a long sentence due to being a drug dealer, happier still if the police had done their job and arrested him years ago.
