"Guglielmi says the undergraduate student told the man he found in his garage to leave and the man accosted him. That's when Guglielmi says the student defended himself, cutting off the man's hand and causing a severe laceration to his upper body."
lol
lol
Sweet! One down.. uh... a LOT to go... 
Do you think, when he cut off the guy's hand, he said, "I am your father"
Damn. I hate thieves, but I bet that kid feels like crap. Too bad the guy died really, I think it would have been more appropriate had he lived with one or both hands removed.
At the very end of the article it says the DA or whatever is contemplating whether to press charges against the student. What kinda crap can they put on him for what he did? It's not like that story posted here a couple weeks ago where the guy chased after the robbers and eventually shot one of them, he was actually defending himself within his home from a robber. I guess maybe that whole deal with you're supposed to protect yourself with the same force that the robber has, aka if he's got a gun you can have a gun but if he doesn't then you can't use one or something idk.
LaFlavor,
Nice quote from Hiro Protagonist. Snow crash is a classic, you read it? Neal Stephenson will be considered classic literature 20 years from now. His work amazes me.

That student is my hero for the day!
No one wants to use deadly force but everyone should be prepared to do so.
Sadly, depending upon your state's position on self-defense, you may end up becoming a victim after the fact...

Sweet. I bet the genius robber thought the student was carrying a toy, LOL.
Damn liberal city cops and attorneys. The student should be getting an award as a good, law abiding student, not waiting to hear if he is going to be charged with a crime for defending himself.
It's fairly obvious that the thief was approaching him, not running away when he got his hand cut off. Now if he had gotten his buttocks hacked off maybe there would be something to investigate.

check out their swords... cause that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the article.

Yeah, it's been a few years. I need to read some of his other stuff. Was the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline.
Read the Maryland link and you'll see that the "topic of self-defense is not explicitly covered by statute" in MD.
'Duty-To-Retreat' criteria means that he could be charged if a prosecutor believes that a "reasonable person in the same situation" would have been able to escape ther attacker. If a judge/jury believes so, he could be screwed!
Hopefully, they'll consider garage as part of his "home". There are further criteria that could clear or screw him but overall, it's just another state with no clear-cut rules of law for CITIZENS to protect themselves against CRIMINALS.
This is all :bs:
