Of course it's Canada: Thug breaks into apartment, cops charge tenant for defending himself

LINDSAY, CANADA (CTV News), August 19, 2025

CTV Did not do us the honor of a video report, so here is the text, read by the dulcet tones of an AI bot. And, no, the video is not AI slop. I put this together myself.

The video is introduced with the CTV National News, circa 1981 (Harvey Kirck and Lloyd Robertson), followed by the report itself. The video concludes with Santa Rosa, Florida county sheriff Bob Johnson encouraging homeowners to shoot intruders. That's how we do things down here in Florida.

Here is the text of the original CTV report:

A man is facing charges after he allegedly assaulted an intruder inside his Lindsay home early Monday morning, police say.

The incident happened at an apartment on Kent Street shortly after 3 a.m.

Police say that the suspect was asleep when he awoke to find an intruder inside his apartment.

Investigators say an altercation ensued and the intruder sustained serious life-threatening injuries as a result.

Police say that the resident, a 44-year-old Lindsay man, was charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon following an investigation.

The intruder, a 41-year-old Lindsay man, was charged with four offences, including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and break-and-enter.

Police say that the intruder was already wanted at the time of his arrest for unrelated offences.

“When released from hospital he will be held in custody pending a bail hearing,” a news release issued by the Kawartha Lakes Police Service states.
