Do You Know Anybody That Has Killed Another Person?
Discussion
I guess the question of whether he could or couldn't handle himself would have bearing on whether something is deemed reasonable force?
So - for example, a 'handy' bloke, who could reasonably expect to have been able to over power and restrain said intruder 'manually' as it were vs. a little old lady who panicked and picked up a nearby heavy thing....

Yes
My brother killed his boss of a part-time job at the young age of 17. My father brought him up to be violent - not me. He served 12 years but refused to give the ' Angela's names who put him up to it as part of his initiation to the club. How much his family has suffered -although we were not responsible !! My brother died 2 years ago, but it still haunts me as he never said sorry or asked for forgiveness. Next time you feel angry or violent, think what it could do to the rest of your family.

Does almost killing them help? My Dad drives trains for Cross Country, and on a level crossing near Oxford a woman parked her car on the train tracks to try and kill herself. He hit her Golf doing about 90mph... she was lucky to survive as she was edging her bets by having parked right in the middle of the two tracks. Then straight after the court hearing to see who was guilty, first thing she did was go straight to the nearest train station to try to kill herself. It hasn't really changed my view on him, mainly because he's my Dad but partly because with the amount of time he's been working on the railway (he started at age 14 in 1986) something like this is bound to happen at some point.

I would say it'd be a little unfair to change your opinion of him, unless he took his railway job with the goal of eventually maiming/killing (and that seems a little unlikely)Hmm when I was a kid my Dads boss was murdered by her husband, but I never met him. He was a rocket scientist which I thought proved there was a thin line between genius and insanity.
A lad in my year, who I wasn't close friends with but had hung out with on plenty of occasions over the years, killed his Dad. Apparently he had taken miaow miaow and was paranoid that his parents were impostors.
Both are in the same mental health hospital I believe.

I was friendly with the receptionist in my office in a high-rise building in the San Francisco Financial District. One night he met a man in a bar and the next morning he woke up in his bloody bed (i.e. a bed that was all bloody) with the man dead.

He definitely didnt want to hurt anyone (probably one of the most peaceful people I've ever met, but I suppose some there's some slight bias). I'm not blaming him for anything, when a head case parks her car in front of your 185 ton train doing 125mph there's nothing you can do... If anything I actually respect him more now than I did before, with the way he's put up with it. Although an interesting fact he told me was that he once hit a stag and it did more damage the the MK3... Edited by ducktail_2.7 on Monday 15th May 21:21
