Find answers to your legal question.





This burglar who fell 30 feet out of a window.Does anyone care whether he lives or dies?

I see that the householder was questioned by Police. (which indicates that he was English and White)

Hi there Texasjewboy,
Well said. I like your style!

If the burglar lives he will sue the homeowner for his injuries. Even if the homeowner had nothing to do with the fall, the burglar will claim the window was not properly secured. At least that's how it usually works in the US. Lousy system.

Edit: I just realized I did not mention if I would care. Interpret as you will.

Yes we should care. then when he gets better put his a s in jail.


Duirmuid
No I don't care.
I care more about the householder and I hope the burglar dies asap. If the householder "fell" out of the window
what sentence would the burglar have been given I wonder.


person
im sure his family would care...

If you use heroin you risk overdosing and dying; if you drink to excess you risk dying of liver failure; if you drive too fast on a crowded motorway you risk potential death in a pile-up. If you break and enter houses you risk possibly life-threatening injury in unfamiliar surroundings.

The man was involved in his lifestyle choice and must take his lumps as they come.

People have survived 1200-feet falls when parachutes failed to open. If he's such a wooss that he can't absorb the impact of a measly 30-feet fall then he's in the wrong line of work and deserves to die through the sheer stupidity of not finding another line of work sooner.

Should he/his family have the right to sue the homeowner? No. Every effect has a cause, and this cause was his own action. I hope he snuffs it.

actually yes his familly would

if he wasn't a theiving herbert in the first place he wouldn't have fallen out of the window..

it depends on the specific case, lot of variables only people who were there konw about...

race has nothing to do with it, anyone would do the same, moreso if you were defending your family etc.

for me, someone breaks into my house un invited. they enter at their own risk, most people would be the same. as for people who rob people who are vunerable (e.g. the old etc), they need a cricket bat taken to their knee's.

that may sound harsh, but say it was an elderly relative of yours.

as for the burglar , i'd hope they were ok in time.. and he/she went to prison for a while. A friend who works in a prison as a wardener said the inmates / staff don't take kindly to people who rob pensioners.

I sure as hell don't care. The S.O.B. better be glad he didn't get into my house or I'd have shot him dead right then and there! There's always the chance he might survive the fall, you know?

Hopefully he dies!
Stop the scum!

I find it wrong to wish ill upon anyone. But, yes the "sympathy-factor" is lessened. But I would still pray that he recovers and learns a lesson.

If you're going to do something to an intruder, make sure that they land INSIDE your house. Not outside.


bill
I agree with you if you mean the householder was questioned because the burglar was English and white

about as much as I care about terrorist lowlife Shamil Basayev getting blown away last year

The victim might want him dead, but his family and self and every open-minded person might want him alive.

A burglar still even a bad person has the right to live. He may deserve to get into prison but I just don't think that people must don't care if he is dead. For those people who doesn't care if he dies or not, let us remember the time when jesus saved a woman accused with adultery by asking the people who want to stone her to death if they haven't done any sin in their life then they shall be the first ones to stone the woman. It would be very rare to see a human without even a single sin. It also doesn't follow that a burglar is man very evil and full of sin are driven by greed. Other burglars steal because they are driven by love. They do that because they want to provide for their families and it may hurt them a lot seeing their child starve and don't eat for days. They may have done and chosen a very wrong act, still they are humans and have the right to live.

I cared for the first 29.5 feet, but after that, well the last 1/2 foot was up to him!


Daniel/Laura Black.
If somebody is amurderer, they deserve to die.

if somebody steals, they deserve to be stolen from.

i care, and im sure his family does.

but it was his own fault.

If someone broke into my house they'd die because I'd kill them.

It depends on the burglar. Some are really such worthless scum and some may have gotten a bad deal in life. The scum I don't care about.

I dont really want to anyone killed unless they Harm others. People get screwed up some times and they follow the wrong path in life.. I think he should just be punished somehow for his crime if he survives the fall..
