So the guy who broke into a home, armed with a knife, is the victim?

Someone comes at you or a family member- you have the choice of a gun of a knife. I know what I would pick.

I'd tell the attacker about my constitutional rights, then calmly take him to the ground ensuring he doesn't hurt his head or bruise a knee.

Then we'd talk about God, forgiveness, even the environment.

If it was a female burglar I would have her perform a pregnancy test to ensure her fetus is fully protected.

Guess you are like Hanzel & Gretel and need the breadcrumb trail.

Why would anyone charge the home owner? Kind of divine justice here

It might come down to that whole "Force of a reasonable man" thing, where the
home owner might be accused of using more than the minimum force...'cuz his
wounds where only minor?

This was a drug robbery.

Man, if you are in knife fight, I don't think you count wounds until one is down. Same with a gun fight. But I don't think I would have left the attacker wounded. The home owner has left himself open to a law suit.

Reality & Legality are not the same thing much of the time...
