[tedbrandt]

I couldnt, wouldnt do what he did but i like the idea of a big bad tough guy out there to protect me.

If you listen closely you can hear the girl bleeding out after he shoots her, the "running water" sound.

I think I saw this on an episode of Forensic Files... The use of extensive force is terrible but it's not what irks me; what does is worrying about bothering the police on Thanksgiving. What is his thought process?

Uh, and killing them both isn't use of extensive force?

Yes, these kids kept breaking into his home and he had every right to defend himself, even with weapons *if necessary*. But it wasn't.

I stand firmly that anyone trying to get into your own property should be..... shot!

Maimed preferably.

I wish I didnt live in the UK.

That's just my sexy self.. firing a REAL live firearm.

BUT.... there again, the slight matter... people here do not seem to resort to firearms in the UK.

Except for idiots who don't eat bacon and eggs for breakfast?

Delicious!!!

Daaah?

Though remember the Tony Martin case in the UK? The farmer begged the police to stop the pikeys burgling him but nothing ever happened. So he waited in the darkened house, aiming to fire the gun above the heads of the intruders coming back but accidentally killed one as he came through the window.

There was a huge court case, with most of the public on his side and the PC Establishment doing all they could to back jailing him for life for premeditated murder - which he was sentenced to but was released after a few years anyway due to public fury. After all, hadn't the Bulger killers been released after a few years, and they raped and killed a 4 year-old.

Nobody in power learned any lessons barring appeasing the public. The area's police chief merely said Martin should instead have 'shouted for help'. In the middle of nowhere.

This helps me believe householders need wide ranging immunities. An Englishman's home is his castle.

I only heard of this story a year ago. I did feel bad for his invasion of privacy. I understand these kids did wrong. Regardless of both sides, the law states that you are not to kill someone that isn't armed. He could have held those kids until the police arrived. Dude wanted them dead and moved his truck to lure them in. The dumb asstold cops he did a kill shot to finish her up, respectfully..what he did was against the law and it everything else goes out the window. No prosecutor would take this case, two people breaking in the house, clearly, they weren't guests. This man held more respect in the community. So they obviously took on the case knowing persons would see and hear this man planning this.
