Dr Johan Burger discussed use of deadly force in self-defense

The case of the Glenvista couple south of Johannesburg who reportedly shot and killed 2 armed robbers in the early hours of this morning has once again thrown the spotlight on home robberies in the county. But what do we know about home robberies in South Africa? Much of what we do know comes from data collected by the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the National Victims of Crime Surveys (NVCS), undertaken by Statistics South Africa.
Dr Johan Burger is senior researcher with the Institute for Security Studies.

If someone comes at me or threatens me ..there is no compromise either I kill them or they kill me

This is so stupid. Self defense is not attempted murder when your facing a deadly threat.
