Holy crap. Detectives are still interviewing a John Hopkins University student who fatally lacerated the upper body of a man breaking into his off-campus residence overnight. The suspect also suffered a nearly-severed hand, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The house is home to four undergrads who had already had a Sony PlayStation and two laptops stolen earlier on Monday.
And when one of the students heard noises at about 1am, he went to downstairs to investigate armed with the sword. He saw that the side door to their garage had been pried open, and inside, was lunged at by the suspect.

The poor guy didn't deserve to die, but Police have confirmed he has priors for breaking and entering.

So it was self defense? He'll just get done for owning the sword

If someone broke into my house and started stealing stuff, I'd arm myself with my Samurai!

same, i'd shoot 'em with an air rifle. Killing him is a bit harsh, but i'd be pissed if I got continually robbed.
 
The lesson here is, if you don't want to get stabbed then don't break into somebody's home. :roll:
 
I read about this a while ago! I think it's pretty crazy, but it was self defense.
 
It's not self defence if the guy wasn't threatenened for his life. The guy broke in to rob him, not kill him. Thus, hurting him (and in term, killing him) is not justified as self defence.

Yeah.. Well around here you would get shot.. Every other household has a gun...
 
Once a person breaks into someone's home, they can legally be killed.
(as long as the homeowner feels they are in danger)

This isn't a secret.
 
Here's my 2 cents; If someone breaks into your house, then by all means, you have every right to attack them with whatever weapons at your disposal. If you end up killing them, oh well, they shouldn't of broken in.
