It's just a shame we get it worse than the criminals if we try and defend ourselves or property....

best to subdue him with a broken knee or two, maybe an arm as well, call the cops and ask them to take their time sending themselves and an ambulance...as the idiot fell over a stump when you were chasing him.....and is of no real threat at present....

Thats basically what I was told to do by the cops after my cabin was broken in to...if I caught them..they are frustrated with the coarts as well...
