Several years a go there was a big controversial dispute here in my country. Briefly the facts: One guy, airplanes pilot, ex military, now flying civil planes. Rather an unknown figure on the market, he used to be known somehow because, at a certain moment in time, a famous designer woman step into his life and become a couple. More or less happy, this is not the problem, despite she was not even close to mother Theresa's purity .. So, they live in a property, big enough. Unguarded by bodyguards, while they actually have no connection with the "underground". But the guy have somewhere in the house a rifle. Legally. One night they weak up somehow with the feeling there is a burglar in the house. The guy get up and in his way to check the house, he meet the burglar. This one got scared and start to run, yet the way in and out of the house require reaching the roof and a jump from there to an surrounding wall .. Mean time the home owner reach to his rifle, go to a balcony, spot the burglar and tell him to stop. Which burglar didn't do. So the home owner shoot him. Lethally. Head shoot, short distance, with a hunting rifle. Now, I am curios about you - do you want a gun or rifle or even a crossbow to be there, in your house, to be available if you discover a burglar? And you'll use it, even with the risk you'll kill the guy?

In normal conditions, I wouldn't shoot a man from behind. But the burglar isn't a "good citizen". It is an outlaw and I'm sure he wouldn't make a step back if he was to shoot me or any member of my family behind our back. It doesn't matter that he was running, this doesn't change the fact that he was trying to rob the house. What do you think the robber would have done if, instead of a man, he had run into a little girl or a helpless old lady? Would he have still run away? Or he would have hit (kill or rape ) the girl/old lady and he would have continued to rob the house? I would shoot an intruder any time. I never blamed Adrian Iovan for killing the burglar. His action must be a lesson for other burglars but, unfortunately, they are too desperate for the money and they risk their lives for this.

Me neither. I was ready to go and support him if he or a group or somebody would have ask. The problem is they KNOW they didn't risk their lives because law actually is very protective ..

I wonder if we, those who agree with what Adrian Iovan did, are only a minority. Aren't there too many "burglars" out there? Aren't those who make the laws some kind of thieves themselves?
