Defending yourself from someone who broke into your house is justified, a judge in Canada decided, but stabbing him 13 times, killing him, is not. The Manitoba judge sentenced Dakota Pratt, 28, to five years in prison Thursday; Pratt had been convicted of manslaughter by a jury in April, CBC News reports. Pratt woke up in the early-morning hours with the feeling he was being stabbed, and found Vincent Bunn, who was holding a knife, in his room. Pratt chased and struggled with Bunn throughout the house and out onto the deck. Pratt "knew he was in a struggle for his own life," the judge wrote. There, Bunn was stabbed; the last stab, to Bunn's heart, was fatal, court records show. |

| Another sickening example of someone who has been attacked, then turned from being the actual Victim, into the Perpetrator, and the actual Perpetrator turned into the poor, poor Victim. Disgusting..... |

Apparently it is better if the victim is killed than the criminal intruder.
It would have been OK if he only stabbed him five times?
When under attack, I doubt that the victim was counting. You are supposed to continue shooting (stabbing) until the threat has been neutralized. |

| You can only hope that this idiot judge someday finds himself in that situation. |
