Britain gives green light to violent criminal home invaders/burglars

[midnight rambler]

Apparently in Britain one can only use force to defend one's self in very rare and extraordinary circumstances.

I read that earlier today, what a fucked up beyond belief country.

On a side note thanks for calling me back prick. :)

It's coming to America as well, just you wait.

Meanwhile.. in Norway the gov is now actually discussing a ban on semi-automatic weapons.

Here is a similar case from Britain where a farmer killed a burglar and got jailed..

"Anthony Edward "Tony" Martin (born 1944)[1] is a farmer from Norfolk, England, who in 1999 killed one burglar and wounded another who had both entered his home. He was convicted of murder, replaced with manslaughter on appeal, and as a result became a cause célèbre, and polarised opinion in the United Kingdom."


so - if you find yourself in this situation - you don't call the police and you dispose of the burglars' bodies yourself.

wouldn't have been my first choice, but ...
