a) because that same car was in the driveway, (and that's the entire argument) that the guy should not enter his house even though its his property

or

b) by entering his house, thereby heightening the chances of a confrontation that he should not do that either. If this is wrong I would believe both instances to be incorrect by using his "logic" because what is being said is that no one should ever deal with a potential problem without police presence. Which is assinine.

I need to know if people truly believe that if someone pulls up to their house, enters it after grabbing security, that they somehow are then responsible for making things worse.

Its pretty clear. Somehow I doubt I will get an answer, though,because common sense seems to be on my side of thinking. Or I am completely out of touch with Canadian/ human values. Which I dont believe for a second.

No funny/smiley faces needed here.
I guess I should have worded it differently. I am unsure why anyone thinks it would matter in a legal sense that he parked his car in the driveway and went into his house. These 2 things are not illegal and not relevant in my opinion.

The only things that matter are:

a) did he hit the guy with a hatchet causing the damage
b) was it in self defense, or in defense of his family
c) was it reasonable force given the situation?
