One less thief.

If I were the officer involved with this there would be a lot of paper work going missing.
Fair play to the home owner.

The alternative is what happened up here in quiet old Yorkshire a few weeks back:
Home owner catches another bloke in his house at night,
wrestling match follows,
homeowner manages to restrain burgular until police arrive.
Police take burgular away,
Police release burgular with caution. --- Yup, your great justice system at work there.

Hope the householders don't face any proper charges.

What I find difficult to comprehend is that the Police have arrested the people in the house and are treating the death as murder!

Murder FFS! For defending your home from thugs wearing balaclavas? Only in this country... My only hope is that there is more to this than meets the eye from that story.

tony martin thing again-reasonable force vs excessive force-you need to kill them with the first blow when their facing you.

passed the scene on the way to work.
if somebody came into my home where me and my partner are sleeping I wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing.

Talk about "Honour amongst thieves"

"The other three suspected burglars are believed to have dragged his body out of the house as the householder rang 999 for help.

Police were called to the scene and discovered the injured man at the base of a tree on nearby Hospital Road."


Didn't they realise the hospital on Hospital Road shut years ago?

Who knows exactly what happened? Certainly we don't. It'll all come out in the wash eh?

And then stick a weapon in their hand.

Cry a bit when the police turn up, at the senseless waste of it all.

Too right he got what he deserved. He made the choice to break into the house and paid the ultimate price. Maybe it should happen a few more times. It will save the taxpayer money for jail costs and also act as a deterrent to other thieving scum. I work with a Philllipino guy who says that back home he has a gun and is quite within his rights to shoot someone breaking and entering into his house.

I liked the part where they dragged the body before dumping him....

All we are seeing at the minute is media speculation. God knows what really happened!
