Todays Good News - Law Abiding Householder 1 Dead Burglar 0

I find it perfectly justifiable - the scrote should not have broken into someone else's house, in doing so he took it upon himself to face whatever threats, hazards and dangers lay within. He drew the short straw and was killed. I really don't give a monkeys about level of threat and proportionate force the crims break in and as such are a threat to the householder and/or his family, if they leave the property in a body bag it was their own fault.

I was outraged that Tony Martin was jailed, it was a shame he was only able to wound burglar number two who has since continued his life of crime and caused his victims untold misery whilst costing the the taxpayer hundreds of thousands. People like Messrs Martin and Roberts should be given an OBE for services to crime reduction.

In a similar vein I'm always bouyed up to hear of joyriders crashing and killing themselves. The earlier they meet their deaths the greater the chances of innocent road users and pedestrians not suffering the same fate.

I am with dedworth totally on this one it must be a first

My plan would be this,Any person breaking into someones house looses their human rights thats the deal.

Don't fancy that then don't break in and scare the **** out of people who don't know wtf is going on and defend their family and property often having been woke up by the intruder and not having chance to reason what's happening.

Tony martin is a hero in my book and most of the population I would bet

I would like to bet if this happened to any politician and their family was put at risk then no one would ever be jailed for defending their property.

Thanks Les - footie aside I'm glad we've got some common ground

Hmm ... without knowing the FULL circumstances, I [think] I'm inclined to say with both Dedworth and Les - particularly in the case of Tony Martin.
