I am advocating to do what I need to do to neutralize a home intruder. If they happen to end up dead, I don’t want to be blamed for it. Self defense is not an exact science and I think making homeowner considering the wellbeing of the intruder is ridiculous.

If they ACCIDENTALLY end up dead because you punched them too hard, that's one thing. If you knowingly use lethal force against someone who isn't an active threat, you deserve what you get.

Armed person within your property at night is the definition of active threat.
