No, I understand these cases are common lore, but it's this bullshit
which is ruining everything that was balanced by the Constitution.  By
propagating such ideas, it continues the idea that we're all victims
to our own system of law, but we are the tacit *creators* of it by our
own negligence, and frankly, pessimism.

This is a system of, by and for the People -- those are the words of
the Constitution of the United States which is the highest law of the
land.  People need to fight this "enabler" creep, that allows it to
continually be co-opted by fear-story, like the one that was being
propagated earlier.  We're not victims here.  The story of a burglar
suing a homeowner is either urban myth and a hoax, or a gross default
somewhere in the judicial system.  It should not be considered case
history or "de facto" law and left at that.

(re: must vs. should) Legally, you are right, but I was speaking from
the point of view of a judge, rather than a lawyer.  Like the sheriff
says:  "I make the law around here!"  lol.
