Now come on man, that's bs. IMO if a punk kid breaks into other peoples houses and gets whacked with a sword, he's got what he deserves.
Lets change the scenario a little. Lets say it was your house. Now your house has been robbed just a couple of days ago, and then during the night you hear someone stuffing around. What do you do? Think 'aah, it's just a punk kid who's probably down on his luck' or 'wtf, is some punk kid tring to steal my stuff AGAIN?!'
And what if you didn't wake up, what if this thief made it away with your tv and keyboard. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't feel so great towards him then.
