Hello folks,
http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/01/20/man-faces-jail-after-protecting-home-from-masked-attackers/
Basically, this Canadian, Ian Thomson, is being charged after he fired his S&W at three men who were attacking his home with fire bombs. No shots hit assailants, but video shows man's property being struck several times. Mr. Thomson's house is clearly damaged in video and he claims one of his dogs was singed by flames. Canadian authorities charged the man with several offenses after he volunteered his security footage. Authorities stated they want to discourage "vigilantism." According to the man, flames left him but no choice to flee the house, in his underwear with his S&W, directly into his still armed assailants. What kind of country gives masked arsonists more consideration than a apparently innocent man? Hope this hasnt been posted here already...
Hope I'm not rehashing this story, but here goes:
