I know some of our "blue" states would do this too.

But damn.

Seriously WTF?!?

Glad I live in Indiana where I am allowed to protect my family from wanted felons and non-felons who act in felonious ways.



Ontario resident charged after armed, wanted felon breaks into his home
By Mark Jeftovic - August 21, 2025
Canadians are learning the hard what that the legal system is rigged in favour of the criminals and law abiding taxpayers do not even have the right to defend themselves against lawlessness.
The most recent episode happened in Linsday, Ontario (about 60 minutes east of Toronto) when a man was woken up at 3am to be confronted with an armed intruder breaking into his apartment.
A struggle ensued, and the home invader got a lesson in “FAFO”: he had to be airlifted to a Toronto hospital.

The intruder was armed, and already wanted on separate charges related to completely different offences. He was charged with four separate crimes.
But Kawartha Lake Police also charged the tenant with assault causing bodily harm, pushing back on the public backlash in their statement:
“it is important to understand that these rights are not unlimited in Canada. The law requires that any defensive action be proportionate to the threat faced”
Which begs the question: when Canadians find themselves in the nightmare position of facing armed, violent criminals inside their own homes, will their actions be considered “reasonable” if they manage to survive it?
(It has since been disclosed that the tenant used a knife to defend himself).
Since the Trudeau liberals came to power in 2015, Canadians have been constantly reminded that the system is rigged in favour of criminals:
  • Justin Trudeau said on camera that “Defending yourself with a gun is not a right that Canadians have”
  • Toronto Police Services once advised homeowners to leave their key fobs near their front doors, in the hope that theives would simply steal your cars rather than invade your homes.
  • A Quebec police department admonished citizens with doorbell cameras capturing images of porch pirates that posting those images online was a violation of the thieves rights.
Add that a never-ending list of repeat offenders, being arrested, charged re-released and committing more crimes (we covered how murders go free and sex offenders are given leniency in a previous article)
Canadians are getting the message loud and clear: the crooks have more rights than we do…
Canadians are getting the message loud and clear:
Criminals and repeat offenders have more rights than we do.

We’re on our own.
 
Yep. No more pistols to be bought. People getting thrown in jail for social media posts. Now you can't even defend yourself. You can have rifles, but you better not use them.
Go ahead, ignore me. The future is here.

The UK is pretty much the same way too.
