Whilst not agreeing with the death penalty... Man did what he had to in his own home to protect himself....

Unfortunately the bloke bled to death.... But In his line of work he probably knew it wouldnt be a workers comp claim...

First Class result!

If we had more incidents like this resulting in more dead burglars I am sure the number of burglaries would drop. All judges ever do is give burglars a slap on the wrist and tell them not to do it again.

A great result but why do we have to know that he lives in a detached house? Does it matter?

A perculiarly British trait.

Re: A good result
 

No probs with this at all :thumbsup: you break into someones home, you lose your rights and if you happen to lose your life tough s*$t.

Re: A good result
 

A lawyer was interviewed on the radio and his comment was that this will mean that burglars will feel the need to arm themselves, where before they haven't, just so they can fell protected:blink:

No. If you don't want to risk being injured/killed when a home owner is protecting their possessions and family, don't go out ****ing burgling:frown:

Finally the tide is turning towards the *real* victims of crime:thumbup:

Re: A good result
 

good morning miss, what you am doin' here?

Re: A good result
 

Been out, had a few sherbets, come back and feel sociable:thumbup:

Bout time the crims got a kicking metaphorically speaking.....and the good guy is finally getting a win:thumbsup:

Who was that poor fella who got sent to prison for shooting a burglar some years back? matin someone or other. Jeez I felt sorry for that guy:( wonder wot he's doing now cos he seemed a broken man when that happened?

Re: A good result
 

Martin someone shot and killed one and wounded another. The mistake he made was informing the police. Had he buried them on his not insubstanial block of land, no one would have missed them.

And cheers by the way.

Re: A good result
 

Ahhh that was it. Wonder wot happened to him poor fella?:(

Re: A good result
 

Sad to say he was a bit ninepence himself. The miscreants were travelling folk who had bothered him before. Their usual M.O. of picking on the weak.

Re: A good result
 

yeh I remember that, the barstewards.

I was shocked to see he lived in a shithole and seem to remember only part of the stairs were in place, basically inside what looked like a posh des res was infact derelict:(

Re: A good result
 

It's all coming back to you now isn't it. :lol:

I think they let him out after a couple of years. Public outcry and all that.
