Criminal charges against the homeowner will be forthcoming.

Folks won't believe me, but England now has KNIFE control. I'm serious.

It's so bad that they even advertise this special "night table --the legs can be rapidly detatched and are baseball bats --the laying surface becomes a shield with straps.

What hath civilization wrought when one cannot rob a man and smash him with a brick without the fear of getting popped with a pellet...?

The UK has truly gone insane. Or their lawmakers anyway. The victim goes to jail while the crook is free to invade more homes.

Insane.

The Brits need to take the same approach as ranchers in our west are with wolves.

Shoot and shovel and shutup.

This homeowner will likely face charges, the home invader will not.

but an investigator who arrived later charged the home invader since he threatened Holmes. Even though the man had broken into the home, Holmes could have been charged for the shooting if the burglar had not threatened him.

As if breaking into someones home isn't threatening.

Britons need to invest in a .22 LR pistol with a suppressor, a large rug, and a shovel. Shoot, shovel, shut up.

If a dozen YOBs disappeared every night, it wouldn't be long until they stop committing crimes.

Thief to Bobby: I want to report that homeowner over 'ere for shooting me with an airgun.

Bobby: Well why in the world would 'e do that?

Thief: I don't know unless 'e didn't want me to steal 'is motorbike.

Bobby: Well, did you provoke 'im in any way while stealing his motorbike?

Thief: Well come to think of it I did throw a brick at 'im to make 'im stop shooting me.

Bobby: Well now, don't you think that might 'ave provoked the bloke just a li'ile?

Thief: Yes, come to think about it now I guess it might 'ave provoked 'im a li'ile. But I still want 'im arrested.

Bobby: On what grounds?

Thief: We....well, 'e coulda put me eye out 'e could of, isn't that enough?

What model was the airgun? I know in Britain they are limited to 12 foot-pounds energy at most on their air-arms.
