What should you do if there is an intruder in your home?

**Squeak the Rat** · 20th September 2006, 08:35

A couple of recent threads have got me thinking. If there's some one in your house or stealing your bike etc, what do you do? You can't count on the cops turning up, and even though most peoples initial response is to smash the fecker you'll just end up getting charged unless you are smart or lucky or both.

So here are the options:

Call the cops. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha fuck thats funny.
Shoot / bash / stab / smash the bastard. Then decide if you like playing the mummy or the daddy with your new cell mate Bubba.
Engage in a fair bout of fistycuffs because you don't want to be done for murder or GBH. Then watch the world fade to black as you get your head kicked in.
Cower in fear unarmed and hope he goes away to terrorise another family.

As far as I can work out, option 4 is the one the cops think we should do. Sad.

And if they are amped up on P & carrying a knife and they decide to accept your challenge then you have lost the element of surprise and you will probably be visiting the hospital very shortly.

Probably the best insurance is to get the name of a really good defense lawyer....

Never make a threat in such circumstances that you are not able and willing to carry through with. Without hesitation or trepidation.

Offer to have Bubba board with you, and let him deal with it??

depends on how you threaten, hold a gun to his knee...my personal fav would be to capture him, then justice is up to you...no one is going to know, you dont tell ppl when your going to invade a house do you?
I have heard of people doing this...

Kinda like that story up in auckland of the guy who was working at the gun shop while someone tried to rob the place. He shot the bastard... It makes you wonder what people are thinking while they walk into a store that sells rifles, pistols, knives and ammo with the intention of robbing it.
