What Would You Do? If you Caught A Burglar in Your Home

That's not logical in the slightest.
What the hell is wrong with you?

Err, sarcasm. I know it can be hard to pick up through text. Anyway like I said nobody can truly know what they would do in those circumstances. I thought I needed to damage the intruder in order to escape. In fairness I wasn't going to just stay there in my bed, waiting for the gardaí to arrive. We live in a time now where Domino's pizza gets to your house before the police do. So if I feel like I need to take precautions to protect myself then I bloody well will.

Considering you could have potentially injured your neighbours last time round do you think that's really a good idea? It's people like you that make me glad we don't have the same gunlaws as the US.

In all fairness, you hear two voices downstairs in the middle of the night, you're not really going to assume that it's your neighbours coming home after a night out, seriously. I've never used this expression before but fúcking facepalm.

It's not like my neighbours announced themselves to me when they entered. I didn't know it was them all I knew was that I had intruders in my house. That's not something that happens often. I live completely alone now so I'm going to keep whatever weapons I want to keep on hand in order to ensure I feel safe in my own bed, tyvm. And if I happen to injure, stab or fatally wound someone who intrudes on my own personal space, then so be it. Because the alternative is not acceptable to me.

Yeah I am serious. I'd rather let some scumbag just rob my stuff and leave than stick a knife in him and then find myself doing time inside with his mates. Aside, it'd be twice as bad if I ended up hurting an innocent person on top of all that just because I was paranoid (as Ms.Facerape up there clearly is).

They can take whatever material possessions they want. But how am I to know what they're there for? I'm not going to wait around to find out what they'd do if they discovered me alone in my bed.

How is wanting to protect yourself being paranoid? It makes me feel better, what's the big deal? Don't know why it should bother you personally to be honest. It wasn't you I temporarily blinded with deodorant. And unless you're a midnight rapist/burglar you'll never have to feel my little 5'2" 112lbs wrath. :rolleyes:

yeah, just walk me through that one. How exactly do you figure that?

This is the dumbest thing i've read today.

That said, this thread looks like it could go places.

Dublin_Gunner · 29-03-2010 03:50PM

I'm assuming this would most likely happen in the middle of the night, waking me from my slumber, so...

If it was a female burglar, she'd get the Dublin_Gunner rod-of-justice.

If its a male, I'd scare him off with the Dublin_Gunner rod-of-justice. Then maybe fap. I always wake up with a boner.

What word do I keep using? Sarcasm? I thought I only used it once... That's not really relative to the current discussion though, so moving onward.

Okay. I lived in an apartment but the apartment had a privately accessed hallway and staircase. As soon as intruders walked up the stairs they were effectively blocking my escape. So in order to get out of there I'd have to pass them. And in order to get passed them I'd probably have to try and hurt them.

It's not my fault that I saw this as the only way I could ensure my safety. Everyones mind works differently in different situations. Just because what I thought or did makes no sense to you doesn't mean it didn't to me. I think perhaps you should wait until you experience something similar yourself before you judge me.

And insult me? It's an observation I have made.

Both barrels of No.7 shot in the groin.

Son Of A Vidic · 29-03-2010 06:29PM

I'd give him two options (1) I'd rip his head off or (2) My German Shepperd's could tear him apart. If he was undecided on which one to choose, I'd combine both options for him.

Bugnug · 29-03-2010 06:35PM

I see alot of guys on here with very macho attitudes to this problem. I am 6"2, 14 stone rugby player who has done door work in NZ, Aus and Ireland. If somebody broke in to my house I would lock myself and my pregnant wife in our bedroom, call the police and wait for the burglar to leave. There are so many dangerous people out there with waepons who are prepared to use them its, not worth taking them on. I know a few big tough guys who have found themselves in this situation and they were the first to admit that they **** themselves.

we'llallhavetea_old · 29-03-2010 08:14PM

i live on my own with my daughter, so i've thought about what i'd do if i heard someone breaking in downstairs loads of times.

i would jam the bedroom door shut with the wardrobe and bed n stuff, then ring the guards. then ring my dad. he has a handgun.

if i woke up with someone standing over me, i would just tell them to take whatever they want, but to please leave me and my child alone.

this is all wishful thinkin, i'd probably lie pasted to the bed with fear in a cold sweat.

Fago! · 29-03-2010 08:19PM

^^^^ That's the safe thing to do. Just try to stay out of the way. You never know what weapons they have or how mental they are. They could be so ruthless as to hurt your child to get what they want, and your kids life is at least 6980000000 times more important then your dvd player or whatever.

I'd hide and let them be.

What if he's a gay? He might enjoy it.:pac:

I like the idea I read in the thread of throwing a duvet on top of them and drop kicking them down the stairs. I've re-thought my plan of action and as they walk up the stairs, throw my duvet at them and jump down and karate kick them, good plan.:cool:

:P

yeah im 6'2 and 16 stone and would brick it to find someone in my house which is exactly the reason I would fight like my life depended on it.Being macho wouldn't come into it,i'd more see what ever violent actions on my part as a necessity. But to answer the question i'd probably try my best to decapitate the person with whatever came closest to hand,be it chairs, fists of hover attachments. and if i were to kill someone i would feel zero guilt. simple rule: don't enter someone elses house without their permission and you don't have to worry about being harmed.it's a simple, basic rule
