Ontario man charged for defending home against intruder

Ontario police charge a man for defending his home against an intruder. We’ve got to help!

We need to strengthen our rights to self-defence. And we need to help Jeremy.

I just got off the phone with Jeremy McDonald, a dad from Lindsay, Ontario. A man broke into his house at 3 a.m. when Jeremy was sleeping. There was an altercation and police arrived on the scene. Turns out, the intruder was a violent, serial criminal known to police.

But police charged Jeremy, the homeowner, with aggravated assault and other offences! For defending his own home!

This is outrageous. I made three promises to Jeremy:

1. We’ll report on this story every step of the way.

2. We’ll set up a petition at Castle Law Now Dot com — calling for the strengthening of the law that a man’s home is his castle.

3. We’ll crowdfund his legal bills, so he doesn’t have to go into debt to defend himself.

Canada is in the middle of a crime wave. It’s bad enough that serial criminals are marauding around our neighbourhoods. But it’s outrageous that a man who protects his own home is charged as a criminal by the same police who didn’t protect him.

We need to strengthen our rights to self-defence. And we need to help Jeremy. If you agree with me, please go to Castle Law Now Dot com, sign the petition, and help us crowdfund Jeremy’s lawyer.
