[deadshot138]

Milwaukee firefighter, brother charged with beating accused burglar

The district attorney's office has now charged the man who was beaten with burglary – and he has a history of breaking into homes.

Two men have been charged with beating up a burglar who broke into their home and stood over them while they slept. This seems like woke DA bullshit. The burglar, who has been charged with felony burglary, has a rap sheet a mile long with other burglary convictions.

That being said

They did chase him out of the house, beat him with a bat, and drag him back into the house to beat him further but, FAFO, right guys?

Good for them for beating the shit out of that scumbag.

 

[gondo]

It's the dragging him back to beat him further that'll cost them. It's excessive but honestly I'd probably do something similar.

stood over them while they slept.

They were sleeping together?

They did chase him out of the house, beat him with a bat, and drag him back into the house to beat him further but, FAFO, right guys?

In a righteous state they could have shot him dead in the home and been fine. However, even in those states I think you catch charges for chasing, beating, dragging, and further beating.

I'm glad they did it but I guess each state draws a line somewhere and they crossed theirs.

Lucky they weren't in canada

Eh, not sure what you're on about. You definitely do not have a right to chase down someone who is fleeing to drag them somewhere and beat then until you're satisfied.

 

[Sweater of AV]

FAFO, right guys?

Writing fuck around, find out like a 13 year old girl is worse than anything in the news story.

The guy was just released last month for a previous burglary sentence. Maybe he should have been locked up longer and wouldn't have gotten his ass beat. If the courts don't protect citizens and they can't protect themselves, what kind of shit society do we live in?

It's more 40 year old chuds that use that term but I'm not surprised you don't know what you're talking about

My thoughts are that is someone is willing breach your property and self defense, you are right to breach their life.

If local law enforcement didn’t prevent it from happening, you should be allowed to stop it from happening again

Well, now you have the the complete circular argument that of what came first, the offender or the victim.

These idiots will argue for the offender, every time, likely because they are offenders, who knows. I jest..

But it all circles back to perhaps the most underrated aspect of the political landscape, the courts and local and state prosecutors and AGs.

So this just sounds like that vigilante justice is ok so long as its viewed through a certain lense. You know we share criticism of the incompetence of the law enforcement, and I can also levy criticism against the Justice system, but that's not what you're talking about.

They DID protect themselves, they beat his @ss and he ran away.

Then they chased him, captured him, brought him to a secured location, and essentially tortured him. Yeah that's totally a crime.

Right on, canshot. I guess you're a "chud."

And they call this the land of the free SMDH

How is it protecting yourself when you drag someone back into your home and beating them with a bat?

he broke into their home. They kidnapped and assaulted him with a deadly weapon.

Sounds like everyone’s an asshole to me

Technically anyone who picks a side in this is arguing for the offender bc all parties involved broke the law.

Legally the law is pretty clear and logical- you have a right to defend yourself, others and your property with as much force necessary.

Where do you draw the line on an instance like this? If they hauled him back into their house to beat him 30 seconds after running is that ok? What about if they found him 30 minutes later, still ok?

If someone takes a swing at me at a bar and I knock’em flat, stomp their shit in and shove a broom stick up their ass and tell them to sweep the floor- at what point is it no longer self defense?

 

[Morning Star]

Beating them up is the least you can do.

 

[oldshadow]

Not sure about all the law there but they could get off in a lot of states well good ones anyway

They legally could chase him down to bring him back to hold him for the police. Citizens arrest. If he was fighting them to get away they could use force to hold him.

It really depends on what they told the cops and the story they are giving now.

However that's all a moot point in thhe shit state they are in.

In good states deadly force is allowed just for breaking in as long as you shoot them in the house or getting in the house.

They got in trouble because they made the crook crawl on his knees back to the home so they can beat him some more. I think the beating must be bad because media didn't release the crook's photos. They released the two brother's mugshots.

Edit: I found some pics of the criminal. He is in a bad state. Honestly I think they could have killed him in the house and not get in trouble for this.
