Even Ontario Premier Doug Ford got into the act, declaring that 'something is broken' in the system when one is punished for self-defense.
Police in Ontario, Canada, said they charged a homeowner after he fought with an alleged intruder earlier this week.
Kawartha Lakes Police Service said officers responded around 3:20 a.m. Monday to an apartment on Kent Street in Lindsay for a report of an altercation between two males. Lindsay is about 2.5 hours northeast of Toronto.
'I know if someone breaks into my house or someone else's, you're going to fight for your life,' Ford added. 'This guy has a weapon. You're going to use any force you possibly can to protect your family. I'm telling you, I know everyone would.'
Arriving officers learned that the resident woke up to find an intruder inside his apartment, police said, adding that the intruder received "serious life-threatening injuries" because of the altercation.
The intruder was taken to Ross Memorial Hospital and later airlifted to a Toronto hospital, police said, adding that there is no risk to public safety.
