... so he steals their getaway van and they're so shocked that they end up leaving with nothing.

Police reaction: "You stole their car — way to go, dude. That's awesome."

probable police reaction uk: arrested, charged with twoc and fined, including victim surcharge
But you have to realise that the Can't Prosecute Service have so many problems charging real offenders in this country that a guy like this would be a dream come true! Sadly.
I love the reaction from the American cops and the homeowner's initiative!!!! Bet he got a round of applause too!
I like that!!
I love that, you'd never get that from the police here.
With a hunting rifle. And got away with it. Over here you'd get life for that. Our criminal system sucks. The victim gets treated worse than the actual scumbags who commit the crimes. It's about time the system got overhauled, especially for intruders, we should be allowed to use as much force to protect our house as WE deem fit.
why in the head? Surely a shot to the leg would of stopped him moving...
Nice to know that gullibility is alive and well. In America you can only use a gun if your life is in immediate danger. You cannot simply shoot someone who is leaving your home.
It certainly did. That's what we should be allowed to do to people who break into our homes.
Criminals should IMO lose all their "human" rights once they illegally cross a persons threshold. After that they should be fair game. And hunted as such.
Actually I heard this story as well, albeit a slightly differing version, which may change the legality. It goes like this.
A guy woke up in the middle of the night to noises coming from downstairs. He picks up his gun and goes downstairs to confront a robber in his living room.
He tells the robber to stand still and put his hands up which he does. The man then goes towards the telephone, picks it up and starts dialling the police.
As he is halfway through dialling, the robber becomes threatening. He tells the guy "If you call the police, I will get put away. But I will be out again in time, and I will come and kill both you and your family on a dark night to make you all pay for putting me away".
The man puts down the phone and shoots the robber and kills him.
He then calls police and tells them what has happened. After an investigation by police it is subsequently found that the robber had indeed used extreme violence in past cases, and the charges against the man were dropped.
That i can believe. The other scenario was just ridiculous.
Agreed.
It seems that the criminal has more rights than the victim in Broken Britain. Perhaps that's why we are the crime capital of Western Europe.
Perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel though: it is said that it has long been the case that whatever happens in America happens over here some years later. I do hope so.
Good job for him it wasn't here, otherwise he'd have been charged with stealing their van. He'd have been thrown into a cell overnight, no doubt.
What twit(with an 'a') of a government thought up the CPS then?
No he wouldn't. He may get a telling off for driving the vehicle without insurance, but if he didn't cause any other damage, I doubt he would have been charged with anything.
Hmm, unfortunatley, in states such as Texas and Florida, you can.
Does anyone know if that would lead to me being arrested here? It doesnt seem that unreasonable to me. Especially if he was threatening me.
Good one, at least no violence was used and I bet they felt silly:D
