Any fool who breaks into my house, puts my family at risk and attempts to take my stuff better be prepared to pay for it with his face.
No right-wing chest thumping here, it's just how it would go down. Political alignment bears no relevance to someone faced with an intruder in their own home.
People have every right to defend their property without fearing any legal repercussions. Of course, if someone went too far (say, shot an intruder to death while he was making his bid for freedom with their toaster tucked under his arm), then their actions should be judged on the weight of the crime and with the circumstances considered, as with anything else. Perhaps this seems a tad idealistic given the spin that tends to be woven into any situation brought under the public eye, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible and can't happen.
