Thread: Home invasion

as a victim in NZ you are allowed to use "reasonable and proportionate force" in self defense. "Proportionate" is balanced against the level of threat or violence perceived by the victim. The perp admits he's lying on the floor holding a knife and intends to kill the farmer if he gets the chance. Surprised it was only a finger that cut. Hopefully the court/judge has a brain and some morals.
Original reporting by Stuff was truly awful, and flat out wrong (libelous) . They should be on trial as well. Media behaviour wont change unless there are consequences.

When you fly the Donald Trump supporters flag on your farm the chance of anything positive towards you from this media would be less than minimal.
