Where. Is. The. Line?

I’m not sure I can agree. Why did they not simply wait to get the facts before filing charges?
This guy has had to deal with the fallout of being charged/arraigned/etc. and probably had to retain a barrister. The news said that they dropped the charges due to a conviction being practically impossible. Reading the details, it sounds like there was a strong defense for the resident to claim that most of the cuts were from the home invader cutting himself up on the window he broke in through…
So the charges were not dropped because it’s ok to defend yourself, the charges were dropped because they can’t prove that this guy sliced up the home invader.

This case doesn’t do anything to show where the line is.

Alright, so if someone breaks in to your home with a crossbow, what is the limit on your self defense?

Are you saying that if someone breaks into your home with apparent intent to cause harm that you can’t defend your person with whatever means necessary? I think that if someone breaks in brandishing a weapon that it should be open season.
This isn’t a case of a homeowner beating up a drunk that accidentally broke into a house thinking it was their own and fell asleep on the couch.

I feel like this should be overridden by the guarantee to freedom of expression
