“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

He infringed first (taking your right to own private property), justifying your act to violate his civil rights right back in an effort to protect your own rights. Those who intentionally violate the rights of others forfeit their own rights.
As for the right to housing...NO, you do not have the right to have a roof over your head. If you have a roof over your head, and you didn't pay for it, it's not because you're entitled to one, it's because another individual, either through an act of charity or due to the force of law, paid for that roof for you. You have the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, meaning you have the right to buy housing, but you do not have the right to have it if you can't buy it.
I said it was a stretch. But IMO an intruder leaves ALL their rights at the point of entry. I'm sure some would argue otherwise, in fact it has been and does happen. I just heard today some state REQUIRES you leave your home if someone breaks in instead of defending it. The perp gets rights but not the property owner.
