 Well, that does kinda elevate simple burglary into a capital crime.

 
If you don't want to be shot to death while breaking into someone's home to
steal from them, there's a 100% effective way of guaranteeing that never
happens to you: don't break into people's homes and steal from them.

 
That has a smidgen of resonance with "let them eat cake".

Fuck around and find out.

Again, this is the UK. You are in danger only if the home invader also
uses language that makes you feel bad.
