They had a trial over this? Absurd and immoral.
Th UK is a sick, sick country.
You cannot defend yourself either in your home or from their crazy Libel laws.
London is a “Turd World” toilet, in my last unpleasant visit there.
I invite any prosecutor to allow me to strike them just once in the face while "only armed with brass knuckles". Their successor may decide whether to charge me with reckless homicide or voluntary manslaughter.
Don’t bring brass knuckles to a sword fight...
It would seem the UK laws exist to protect the criminals.
Under British law the two home invaders were given a slap on the wrist. They received suspended sentences and 100 hours of community service work. Severs had to have his ear reattached.
Nanny states want YOU to be dependent upon the government for everything, including domestic defense of ones own property.
If people can do things on their own, then what NEED is there for the government and what use are those who make up the government?
Tried to rape his wife? He’s lucky the guy only cut off his ear.
"Prosecutors said that it was disproportionate to attack the thug with a “battlefield weapon” when the home invader was only armed with brass knuckles."
The invaders (more than one), invaded his home... his HOME, threatened to RAPE his WIFE, and KILL his CHILDREN, and defending them with a ornamental sword is "over the top". This man that defended his family was charged with a crime, and tried in court like a criminal. I think I despise the UK criminal justice system more than I despise these thugs that attacked this mans family.
They had to hold a TRIAL?? A once great nation destroyed by the radical left. We can witness the results of disarming a people.
He really should have used a Cold Steel katana!
Chop! Chop!

Peter, is that you?
"Excuse me, but do you have any weapon more dangerous than those brass knuckles? If you have a firearm, what caliber? I would feel awkward shooting you with a .45 if you only have a 9mm. We must be fair, you know, Marquess of Queensberry rules you know."
No, thank you. I'll stick with the sword - and aim for the throat next time.
I love how the state has disarmed the British home, but still feels free to grouse in court if their arsenal of defensive weapons lacks something of exactly the approved degree of lethality.
This is so stupid. A legal system that works backwards...this gent who protected his family and property was guilty until proven innocent.
