OK so because of someones alleged political views that makes them unentitled to self defense? We're supposed to say this guy is automatically guilty or have less sympathy for his plight because of it?

He fired one shot, from a stare well, and the burgular went down. He then stood above his and fired a second shot while the guy was already down. Shooting someone with a shot gun while they lay wounded on the floor is not considered to be self defence, in any country I should think.
You would be allowed to kill someone if they threatened your life, killing someone because they are trying to steal your TV is not self defence, it is defence of your property. Of course we dont allow people to shoot someone because they are stealing your TV set.

Lets see.. did the burglar announce his intentions to Tony? "SIR! DONT SHOOT.. I'm only stealing your TV set! Its OK!". Perhaps burglars should call residents ahead of time, and let the homeowner know exactly what they plan to steal, this way violence is avoided. I admire your desire for peaceful co-existince but I cannot fathom your logic here.. If someone is breaking into your home they should expect to be shot.
