Yep, let's put an honest, hard-working tax payer just defending his property and his family in prison thus forcing his family into hardship whilst we let two utter mongers continue their spree of armed robbery.
Our society is badly, badly broken.

That's not quite what happened though, is it.
The gentleman did not 'defend his property and his family' - he took the law into his own hands and committed a crime, and has been punished under the law, as have the two burglars.
Now you can argue that there is a serious moral injustice in the circumstances, but as I point out regularly and frequently on here when situations like this are debated, the law is neither formed nor enforced from an emotional point of view, it cannot be if it is to function properly.
Therefore, each individual has been punished according to legal process, and that is how it should be.
The arguments about the moral 'rightness' of the decisions can, and will, go on for a long time, but the law has been applied correctly as it stands.
