I support the idea that only when you know that yours or your family's life is in danger, should you be allowed to take another human being's life. However, no matter how the Hussain's felt towards those burglars, it was up to the law to decide their fate. Yes, the law may get it wrong, but thats why we have elections, so that we can choose the right government to make the right laws. This was a 'revenge attack', just as Tony Martin, the farmer who shot his intruders in the back as they were escaping was; this is because at this point they no longer pose a threat and it is a crime to attack someone without it being self-defence. The Hussain's live in the UK, and therefore have made the conscious decision to abide by the UK's laws. In this light it is obvious that they should be punished if they hit the burglar so hard it split the cricket bat. Emotions, no matter how justified, can't replace the law, otherwise there would be anarchy as 'what is justified' can be very subjective to opinion. However, in the instance of one's or one's family's lives being at risk, the use of force (that may include killing) may be necessary. There is a new law in the UK that accepts this. But, the law doesn't permit you to make the decision that someone deserves to die for the wrong they have committed against you.

Btw, this was my view from another argument, but it was very old so i deecided to create a new one.

Yes, of course. One should have the right to go to the extreme if there is no other option available and you die if you don't take any step. Every country has laws for self defense. The human rights act also has such laws.

Side: Yes they should.

Of course, in a free society, citizens are entitled to protect and defend their own home and property without exorbitant government intrusion.

Side: Yes they should.
