The manslaughter of a violent but unarmed intruder.

I've got a kitchen knife in my bedroom right now. I peeled an apple with it 2 days ago and was too lazy to take it back into the kitchen.

My guess is that the kitchen knife was suspected of being in the kitchen. Issue there might be if the defendant leaves the scene, goes to the kitchen, returns with a knife then that suggests it isn't immediate self defense and there is premeditation. Why didn't he leave the house altogether or get a baseball bat or less lethal weapon etc. whack him over the head with a frying pan for example.

I'm on the fence about this case, on one hand he defended his mother and home and only stabbed the intruder once in doing so making it very hard to say he intentionally wanted to murder him, on the other hand he seems and acts like an absolute scumbag and the smirking at the cameras didn't do him any favours

You're using that phrase a lot, almost as if you've just learned it and really want someone to comment on it.

Well here goes - what, specifically is the industry you're referring to in the "Welfare Industrial Complex"? Surely you've not just taken the "Military Industrial Complex" and inserted welfare to make your bias sound more legitimate, right?

I don't really know how you arrive at having social welfare being an obstacle to enterprise and employment. They co exist peacefully as far as I am aware.

You know what makes all that possible though, enterprise and that? Being civilized. People are funnily enough not very civil when they are treated poorly.

I would be far more in favour of mire harsher penalties for anti social behavior though. I definitely think we are a soft touch in that regard.
