Yes. Like I said, it's a Legal problem and I think it's as stupid as you do. What i'm saying is if you do find someone taking your stuff, they are not going to ignore you. They will either
a) Leg it
b) Try it with you
Since we are only worried about b), that's when the SD comes into play.
If they choose to leg it, you should still be within your rights to attack them.
You're also ignoring the unique possibility c), which this law specifically allows for. They could just keep taking your stuff, and you can't do a damn thing about it. A smart burglar would be fully aware of this.
Now I don't know about this myself, this bit here is just my questions to the wind - If someone is taking your TV, where do you stand if you try to take the tv off them, they start acting threatening and you whallop them? I would think that would fit under self defence aswell, though that would be very hard to prove or disprove.
It's ridiculous that we should have to even discuss this, though. If someone breaks into your home, you should be able to do whatever the hell you like to them. Getting killed should be an occupational hazard of the career criminal.
That doesn't mean it's right to tie up, torture and execute a burglar - but that judgement shouldn't be the law's to make. You want protection from the law, then you play by the law.
You shouldn't. However, you need to clarify something for me because you seem to have used my stabbing answer (about you been attacked) and tried to use it for robbery.
I don't quite understand what you're asking.
