A good day for the right of self defence.

769829 2009-04-30 23:05:00 Makes me just think of police shootings which end in death. If this untrained takeaway owner under extreme pressure was able to first fire a warning shot and then a shot to the leg then maybe he needs to be recruited as a police firearms trainer. sam m (517)
769830 2009-05-01 00:01:00 The law needs changing so the police can say straight away there will be no charges laid and that the guy is a hero. prefect (6291)
769831 2009-05-01 01:08:00 If there had been any common sense they would never have even contemplated charging him. It had me right riled up when I first heard about it. mikebartnz (21)
769832 2009-05-01 02:03:00 Its time the cops stopped telling everyone not to fight back, That stance has not worked, Criminal scum exploit it to do as they please (who would have thought?) And the scum have merely esculated their behavior to the point of executing shop owners.

To charge people for defending themselves, Their families and their property is disgusting.

The public should be advised to bat attack any piece of scum that is trespassing.That'll **** em.

769833 2009-05-01 20:43:00 Yes, it's the same with stopping Police chases. Kind of absurd to let the crims get away if they speed.
Sure, there's a public safety issue, but there's also the issue of letting these human parasites get away to continue the same offences over and over again.

Mind you, with so much attention to being PC these days, it's a wonder the cops aren't told to withdraw if the crims use foul language.
