Give the defender probation or a suspended sentence, but not jail time, after what he and his family have been through. That the offender, who is known to have committed this and numerous other crimes, was allowed to go free is a further travesty.

I have seen similar stories in the British news of individuals jailed for defending themselves, and others from Australia. The concepts of private property and the right to self defense are disappearing. Their world has indeed gone mad.
