You catch a burglar in your property, you shoot him and he is neutralized. But looks like he's still alive. Is it legal to leave him a couple of hours to die or you have to call the police immediately after shooting him?
Pic unrelated.

Is it a nigger?
>>135587657
Nope

You are never under any legal obligation to call the police.

Cool so I own his corpse now?
>>135587506
isnt it death by negligence and not in self defence?
I would probably assume self defense simply means neutralising the threat, once he is bleeding out and incapacitated the threat is gone so leaving them to die might be a manslaughter charge.
It probably just depends on the how deep the police and coroner would dig into it after finding a dead burglar in your home.
Couldn't you just say after shooting the intruder, that you
went into shock for 2hours and couldn't move ?
hence unable to call for help?
Then just let the intruder bleed-out

Unload the clip all over his body, mostly the chest and act like you panicked.You'll be so high on adrenaline the 911 operator and cops will most likely believe you.

Are you legally required to report anything about it to the police?
You should stick your finger in his butt and take his temperature.

You went into shock so its not uncommon not to for 20 minutes especially if one of your ears started ringinging from firing the gun.

In terms of legality I'm not sure, but as a matter of good practice I would suggest reporting it to the police. Unless you're on a ranch 100 miles from anywhere, then you just do one of the following:
>feed to pigs
>dissolve in cleaning chemical and flush him down the toilet
>put on a spike in the middle of a field as a scareburglar
>throw him in the nearest ditch and fill it in with your tractor. Dig a new ditch next to it to cover your tracks

I'd have got him ten
