A man accused earlier this month of a violent break-in in Lindsay, Ontario, was armed with a crossbow at the time of the incident, according to court documents.
The current scheme of charging anyone for self defense should be amended to the following.
Any self defense action should be based on the same criteria that the nation gives police. We have all heard of a situation where a perp charges a police officer aggressively with a knife, or stick and is put down in a heartbeat in a hail of bullets.
Any other criteria isn't justice, or laws, it is in fact arbitrary punishment to keep the citizens in their place.
Pic changed to a crossbow. But I suspect the weapon the intruder had in his possession, was maybe one of the much smaller ones that could be used with one hand. Something akin to breaking in and having a pistol instead of a rifle. Comments from the crossbowers out there?
