The controversy generated around charging a man for injuring an armed intruder who broke into his home in Lindsay, Ont., has ricocheted loudly and raised important questions that every citizen would wish to have answered clearly. The homeowner, Jeremy McDonald, was physically present when the alleged intruder, Michael Breen, damaged a screen and window in a forced illegal entry in the early hours of Aug. 18, and was allegedly carrying a crossbow, a potentially deadly weapon. He has been charged with related offences.
