A burglar was shot dead by the owner of the house being broken into. Do you think the owner’s action was justified?
选项
答案
Ever since the incident that a burglar was shot dead by the owner of the house being broken into was reported in the newspapers, there has been much controversy about it. After weighing all the pros and cons, I find that I agree that the owner’s action was justified. I support my point of view with three arguments: self-defense, the sanctity of property and the need to deter criminals. First, everyone has the right of self-defense. When a burglar breaks into somebody else’s house, he is a potential threat to the lives of the people who live there. Therefore, the house owner has the right to defend himself and his family with any weapon he can lay his hands on. If that weapon happens to be a gun, the burglar only has himself to blame. Second, it is a principle of law that private property is inviolable. A person’s home is probably the most precious thing he has, and usually contains most of the things that the house owner considers valuable. He has the right to protect the things he has worked hard to accumulate, especially against a thief. Third, there is far too much crime nowadays, and many people think that the courts are too lenient with burglars when they are caught. By shooting the burglar dead, the house owner did a great service for society. In fact, his action sent a warning to other burglars that if they break into other people’s houses, they are risking their lives. All in all, I think that the house owner’s action was a good one in three aspects. He benefited himself, by preventing the burglar harming him. He benefited the rule of law by asserting the right of a person to safeguard his own property. And, last but not least, he benefited society by deterring would-be burglars.
