You can stab a burglar in America.

You can if you are in danger in that soggy little island too.

And you should be allowed to here too.

You are if you are in danger.

If you do you'll be prosecuted and msot likely found guilty. Ask Tony
Martin.

I seem to recall, from the news reports, that in TM's case the guy who
was shot was running away, therefore TM was no longer in danger. There
is a subtle difference here, which makes a big difference, in the
actions that you are allowed to take.

But if you are in danger can be subjective. I might be attacking you,
you fend me off, then I'm walking away from you. How do you know I'm not
about to grab a rock and chuck it at you? To be safe, you should disable
me completely.

Belgrano?
