“A license to kill or a leg up for law enforcement — the verdict may still be out, but the Knesset approved into law Tuesday evening the legislation known as the ‘Shai Dromi Bill’ … aimed at giving property owners more freedom to use fatal force against intruders who break into their homes, businesses or farms. The legislation, named for the Negev farmer who in January 2007 shot at a group of people who broke into his farm … Dromi was charged with manslaughter, a decision that caused a public uproar. In the ensuing year, bumper-stickers blossomed on cars nationwide bearing the phrase ‘We are all Shai Dromi,’ expressing lack of public faith in the police’s ability to stop property crime, particularly in rural areas.” (06/24/08)
