In Washington, D.C., an apartment dweller shot and wounded a thug who smashed open his apartment door, while forcing his way into the dweller’s apartment. The outcome: The D.C. police arrested and jailed the apartment dweller for having an “illegal firearm” and was forced to pay for the thug’s medical treatment.
I was hoping to touch off this kind of commentary. Isn’t it deplorable that burglars have sued and WON?! How on Earth is that possible? Burglars should be considered to be…..um, well, criminals!

Ain’t that the sad true and here the jerk was burglarizing their home, who shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

In the USA, yes. Here in Canada if you injure yourself in the commission of a crime you can expect to lose the lawsuit.

In the UK, if you harm a home invader you will be arrested. What is this world coming to?
