What would you do if you came home and found yourself face-to-face with a burglar? Would you fight back or run away? A husband and wife in Taiwan’s capital recently returned home only to…

I feel bad for the family of the thief, but not the thief himself. Yes,
losing a loved one is terrible and I’m sure we can all hopefully agree that
there was atleast one person on this earth that loved him and will miss
him. So I do feel bad for the pain they are feeling. But this is all the
thief’s fault. You shouldn’t be breaking into other people’s homes, taking
the stuff they worked hard for, and then attacking them just because you
got corned like a rat. When you do something you aren’t suppose to be
doing, bad things always happen. Murphy’s law to a t. 

Le Enderman says:

Pronounced braindead?! He’s already braindead for attempting to steal
property that wasn’t his. Went wrong? The thief is dead. This burglary
couldn’t have gone any better. There’s one less thief in the world thanks
to this man. 

a guy whos angry says:

he broke into someone’s house.
that right there is cause enough too kill the dude.

what is the home owner supposed too do? point and tell him too get out?
what if the robber had a gun or a knife?
if someone breaks into your house, right there, it should be fair game.

an asian marine vs a u.s marine? Who would win?

Saturn Venus says:

Considering the home owner killed the burglar, this is a burglary gone
RIGHT, not “wrong,” Tomo. It’s wrong that the home owner was convicted.
Taiwan has shit laws. In the US, you can shoot and kill a burglar, and you
won’t go to jail because you’re protected by the Castle Doctrine.

accidentally strangled an intruder to death…? really…? ー ー;
bitch please… do you know how long it takes to die from strangulation…?
several minutes; not 20 seconds like you see in movies… you can’t choke a
person for that long accidentally…

Atlanta Light says:

I fully back with the homeowners’ actions and the thief is at fault
completely.

FirePhoenix says:

Don’t care, a puppy was almost killed so I don’t care about these pieces of
shits being killed by other pieces of shits.

Mr Slam says:

Why is there always a debate when the thief dies? He shouldn’t have been in
the fucking house. Sad day for this “victims” family, fuck em’.

Zoink foo says:

Just pull out the shotgun and blow that fucker. Don’t break into my house
and steal my shit.

The law in Taiwon is silly, c’mon this man is defending himself, his wife,
and his property.

SeanTheOriginal says:

Bullshit, the homeowner committed no crime.
If you break into someone’s house, you DESERVE to die. Period.

Minn Lin says:

castle law, thief played Russian roulette and lost

TheUnknown8999 says:

You serious? Charged with manslaughter? So what was he suppose to do? Just
let the intruder walk out? The Justice System is so messed up. :/

HarryDoesEverything says:

This is fucking stupid.The thief deserved that.

Gehrig Lambert says:

Unnecessary force and violence? His family is just upset and angry that
their son was a dumbass who can’t even rob a houses correctly, and needed
someone to blame. How pathetic. 

jennifer D says:

Hah this is justice? Fuckin joke.

Im A Fanboy says:

fUCK THIEFS 

Sam V says:

poor guy he didn’t deserve to die like that the marine should have done the
right thing and shoot him in the head with a shotgun then throw his body in
the sewers 🙂 #restinpeaceasshole

EriktheGamer ERIK says:

If I had a wife 8 months pregnant any robber in our house will definitely
get a bullet to the face 

ghostkilla96 says:

Why is this man being charged with anything? Are there no self defense laws
in Taiwan?

Hinz Zimmler says:

Alright. Some Kung Fu action. Good that the thief is dead. Why not kill
all of them?

lazy muffin says:

I swear if this marine gets charged for man slaughter imma flip the fuck
out.

Tom CMF says:

Wtf hey they feel bad wtf he could have shoot him he has the right to do
that teach your son a lesson by not stealing.

J.D. Saldivar says:

You play????….You PAY!!!!!!!!!!…….

Shay Kay says:

He did what anyone would do.He should be set free.

Pita bread says:

You reap what you sow 

HireDeLune says:

Loss of life?

More like helping the gene pool.

Themaninthedark says:

Wait what he deserved the death for stealing the man should be let go the
family can shut their mouths about their lost the man acted in self defense
the guy tryed to hit him 

Mr. Delaparra says:

That’s why I live in Texas 

D Toe says:

Why the hell is that guy in cuffs?

rawrawrbaby j. says:

I don’t think what he did was wrong.the robber wanted to hurt him but
failed… What the owner did was just self defense + protecting his prego
wife.nothing wrong there. 

Tom Riddle says:

The marine was just protecting his pregnant wife. That thief however, was
just a waste of space who got what he deserved.

Trevor philips says:

good on the marine one less scum bag 

hiddenfog180 says:

My hats off to the ex-marine. 

ramusxxgm says:

The family of the “victim”. Haha guess the thieves should just be allowed
to rape and steal as much as they want. Hell no he fuckin deserved it. 

KB123 says:

Just release the man. He was only protecting his family and belongings. Its
not his fault he was trained to use that chokehold. It’s not hard to give
justice in this case.

cjishere97 says:

He should have the right to take his life if he entered his home without
his permission

ehp squirrel says:
