Well it took them awhile to release Tony Martin but hey, they didn’t bring any charges against the 78 year old guy who stabbed and killed that burglar. Maybe folks are coming to their senses.

If you read about the Tony Martin case it sounds like something out of the onion or babylon bee.

Run hide and tell. It sounds like something you tell your toddler.

The 0:09 puncher had more risk and physical involvement, I grant that.

The last fellow used good physics and did not present a threatening body mass as the perp approached.

Ain't that the truth. But wait, it gets worse. Awhile back I was reading about self-defense in Britain. The only legal item a person can carry is a whistle. Even pepper spray is not allowed.

I guess you could carry an umbrella without attracting too much attention. But if you use it to defend yourself, you'd better have an attorney on retainer. After all, you might bruise some poor Islamist's wrist.

That’s what I was thinking. He set himself up for the hit and timed it perfectly. Well done!

“Muaz Tarafdar”

Another good Irish name besmirched by one bad apple.

"...Tarafdar had a "£10 a day crack cocaine habit"...

That's not a habit; it's a mild interest!
