You have Castle Doctrine Win!
As of last Monday, Castle Doctrine is law in the State of Ohio.
As can be expected, some people are frightened for the criminals
A homeowner who injures, maims or even kills an intruder is on the right side of the law, starting today in Ohio.
The so-called “castle doctrine” law assumes the owner was acting in self-defense and shifts the burden to police and prosecutors to prove otherwise.
Until today, people who attacked intruders had to prove they were acting in self-defense.
About 20 states have similar laws with all types of variations. Some states do not limit the self-defense presumption to the person’s home but apply it to the workplace or even on the street, if the person is threatened.
In fact, Ohio’s provision extends to inside vehicles. And, as it is elsewhere, Ohio’s castle doctrine — so named for the popular premise that ‘one’s home is one’s castle’ — is steeped in controversy.
Castle Doctrine is only controversial to anti-civil rights bigots. They fear that poor-widdle misunderstood Jackie Lawbreaker might make a poor victim selection decision and get his dumb ass killed, thereby taking away one more potential voter for the Gun Control Party.
The rest of the article consists of the uber-biased Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter not “dealing” so “plainly” as she accuses the writers of the Doctrine law of helping drug dealers stay out of prison as well as bringing up the “shoot first, ask questions later” wild west bullshit scenario.
