Canadian cops charge homeowner with assault for attacking burglar

A homeowner is facing assault charges for attacking an armed burglar he found breaking into his apartment in the middle of the night.

An unidentified 44-year-old resident of Lindsay, Ontario, in Canada awoke to find a 41-year-old man inside in his home on Kent Street on Monday.
He confronted and fought the intruder, who suffered life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to hospital in Toronto.

The Kawartha Lakes Police Service was called about 3:20am and responded to the scene, arresting the homeowner after an investigation.
The owner was charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon and released to face court at a late date.

The unidentified intruder was charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, breaking and entering, mischief under $5,000, and violating his probation.
The suspected burglar, who was already wanted by police on unrelated charges, will be taken into custody when he is well enough to leave hospital.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford was furious that police leveled charges against the homeowner.

'This criminal that's wanted by the police breaks into this guy's house, this guy gives him a beating, and this guy gets charged,' he said at a press conference on Wednesday. 'Something is broken. 'I know if someone breaks into my house or someone else's, you're gonna fight for your life. 'You're going to use whatever force you can to protect your family. I know everyone would.'

Kawartha Lakes Police Chief Kirk Robertson issued a statement defending the decision amid the backlash. '[T]he negative commentary about the officers and their actions is unjust and inaccurate,' he said. Robertson explained that the law allowed people to use reasonable force to protect themselves and their property if they believed they were facing a threat.

'However, it is important to understand that these rights are not unlimited in Canada. The law requires that any defensive action be proportionate to the threat faced. 'This means that while homeowners do have the right to protect themselves and their property, the use of force must be reasonable given the circumstances.'

Robertson said investigators were able to examine all the information and evidence that was available before pursuing any charges, but police were not revealing most of it to protect the investigation.



Next Monday we should invade Canada and free the people from their gay and oppressive government.
Blah, but what would we do on Tuesday?

Ha! I bet the perp in the hospital is the only person in a hospital up there that they have not offered assisted suicide to.

IN America the Castle doctrine protects the home owner. Canada is just nuts when it comes to protecting people from crime.

How did the police get the idea that the homeowner beat on the fellow? The armed home invader was in bad enough shape he had to be airlifted to the hospital.

Did the homeowner confess? Did the home invader decide to snitch? If I was the creep who took the beatdown, I would have just told the investigating police that I was a friend of the citizen and I tripped and fell as an explanation for my injuries.

 

[Woodznutz]

The man's life was at risk; therefore, his response was proportional.

Not in leftist Canada it is. That's why the problem is that the homeowner was a doofus and spoke up during a police investigation. If the police had thought that the home invader was just a friend who fell in an accident, the matter would be closed.

Reminds me of the southern coroner's response concerning a black man that was found beaten, stabbed, shot, and wrapped with chains at the bottom of a lake.

"Worst case of suicide I've ever seen."

In Can'tada, a burglar is referred to as an "undocumented resident"

This is the path Democrats want to take…. minimize the crime and increase the punishment for any victim that protects themselves.

This does not reduce crime….. it encourages it.

**** them commie Canucks! Brit cucks are gone! No use even discussing them. They get what they voted for.

 

[Edgetho]

You get the government you deserve. Every time.

Canada is a shithole filled with shit people. Leave them be. They will eventually devolve into decent laborers and farm workers, and the women might make some okay breeding stock for lonely American Males to pillage.

Not that the typical Canadian male would mind. They're too busy with each other anyway.

 

[Mack The Finger]

The man's life was at risk; therefore, his response was proportional.

I am not defending the criminal but understand why the State would charge the homeowner.

I don't know about now but they would do the same thing in PA.

All they are really doing is putting him under the power of the court.

Of course the charges will be dropped as they figure things out...at least in PA they would.

IN PA the Castle Doctrine would apply and deadly force would be legal in a break in involving home car or hotel room

So, he's guilty until proven innocent (been there, done that).

Sorry, I did not read the original link, but if I were to guess, the homeowner was probably charged because he did not use force deadly enough to stop the burglar, which would be bad but not as bad, but instead, he got the burglar on the ground and helpless but kept beating him anyway. I think this is probably what happened (but can't be sure).

Indeed we are. However, in this particular case, I can see why he got punished. When someone is already not a threat, you cannot keep beating him.

That would be true in America as well thats why a gun solves that problem
