Walking into strangers house

[RZ1]

Just seen the video of a cretin walking into a random persons house just to post it online and get views, absolutely gob smacked that someone would do this



What are the laws around this, if someone walked in while you happened to be cooking and you had a rolling pin in your hand, would you be allowed to hit them with it in self defence?

You wouldn't do this in America

An 18-year-old man is due to appear in court following widely shared social media footage showing him walking into someone's home without permission.

Seems to have worked to be fair.

I'm not big and hard and you could beat me in a fight.

However I once came home and the front door was wide open, stupidly I went into the kitchen, picked up a big knife and proceeded to go all 'hard man' around the house and open all the cupboards.

As I got to the last one, I suddenly thought 'st' this is the last one, what if there is someone in there?

Of course there wasn't, the door blew open I guess.

Morale of the story, you come into my house, you might meet Mr Silly Billy and one of use is going to get hurt.

Im sure the response may have been slightly different had it not been a nice looking area. I doubt he would have walked into a travellers home on a travellers site

This sort of behaviour is in the category of peeping tom level.

Throw the book at the little tt.

Issue is, idiots view this stuff when scrolling and suddenly its a phenomena.

I've done it.

At a bit of a house party, went outside to use the phone.
Obviously had a few beverages.
Row of terraced houses and I couldn't remember which house I'd just come out of.
So I tried a front door and walked straight into a living room where a couple were on the sofa watching TV.
They just laughed and said you want next door.

Haven’t watched the video, but do people really leave their doors open so that anyone can just walk in, even if they’re home?

[steveo3002]

i dont live in the bronx , but we keep our doors locked at all times , dont think its the day n age where randoms can wander in if they choose

[vixen1700]

This little tt has been posted all over the place over the last seven days or so doing different stuff like walking into people's houses, stealing dogs, asking people if they want to die.

Switch off the internet and he goes away.

We can all report the videos to YT citing the fact that the cretin is benefiting from criminal activity to demonetise him. He's been jumping into peoples cars claiming the car is his Uber.

As soon as I saw the headlines a week or so ago before I had even looked at the story I knew he would be a promising footballer type.

Not really the same thing is it?

I was able to pocket dial 999 on an old mobile en route to midnight mass one year, the police who had kicked in my front door were waiting for us in my house, apparently the operator heard " oh shi....." as I hung up and feared the worst...

All I can see is he is black - is that what you meant?

Yes. Only lock mine if I'm away overnight. Otherwise it stays unlocked

I'd bet he'd be the first person to come over all "ooo im the victim" if somebody did batter him to a pulp for walking into their house.
