Not feasible af all. He had brought his mobile phone and as such his movements to the farm could and would get traced. Only way to clean his DNA from the house would be to burn it down really well. And maybe feasible to bury bodies and a car on a farm, but pure fantasy to imagine you'd get away with that once someone comes looking.

Farmer Brown would ironically be in less trouble if he'd let this 140kg gang member get up with the knife and then shot him. But when people are frightened and out of their depth they do stupid things instead. I guess the shottie was unloaded.

victims in this type of situation should be able to fight back without consequence to themselves . We and the crims all know when left to the courts the guy is just going to be out on the streets again in short order , or at home , with no real consequence to his actions .
I am not saying that we can all start torturing anyone who crosses the gate and chopping off body parts , but the last thing I would want to be worried about in that situation would be trying to decide if I can legally defend myself without facing a trial myself on charges for something that was instigated by the criminal breaking in , on my own property in my own house in defence of myself/family and possessions .
Or in a high stress situation like that you may not get the chance to think with all the conflicting emotions and threats upon you or your families person and may just react without thought , which would be understandable and possibly not within the exact wording of the law , which in itself is vague at best .
The victim is legally on the back foot from the get go .
That is not how it should be .
Why should the rights of the criminal come first as they appear to nowadays ? The crim is the one in the wrong , not the victim . If the victim is able to turn the tide on the crim it always seems to be the victim also ends up on charges as mentioned earlier . That is wrong . I guess you could use the excuse of being abused as a child to get off like all these retards seem to do ....
Again , as I mentioned before , I wonder if the farmer would have still faced firearm charges if he was licensed ? Even though a trigger was not pulled ...

I for one believe my home is my castle , as the old adage goes , and would be prepared to do whatever it takes to defend it and those within it's walls .

This is what pisses me off big time.
If someone invades my father's house and attacks him, I will be removing A LOT MORE than just a finger.

Any home invading crims today should be aware that they will be mistaken for Ducks !
