Feel sorry for the guy facing charges in self defense. I don't really approve of the concept of disproportionate force.

No need to feel sorry! DA took his side -- the gentleman faced no charges.

Of course, the family of one of the deceased would beg to differ: https://americangg.net/dead-criminals-family-complains/

So I guess next time someone invades your home, make sure you have a variety of weapons available so you can pick the one that most closely resembles what the intruders are visibly carrying, even if you're outnumbered three to one. 😂

Don't worry, I have a flail and a few flintlocks :)

I should probably get some actual firearms. Gotta find something that can't penetrate walls too much (SWAT weapons?)

At close range, a knife is as dangerous as a gun. One guy with a knife and two guys with brass knuckles is deadlier than a gun.

They had the disproportionate force and they still lost.

Home invaders are cowards any way you cut it. Bet you the moment these ham lovers came upon the slightest bit of resistance, let alone a guy with a long gun, any tough guy attitudes they had went right out the window. Odds are the knife and brass knuckles served merely as talismans for them to feel safe while they robbed on the ham's behalf -- hell, they might've even been given the weapons by the ham to encourage them.
