Ireland has joined England in considering damages for criminals who are killed while committing violent crimes. There is a history of criminals having more rights than victims in the UK. It is a fact that Criminals have more rights than their victims in England. England has had its share of problems regarding criminals coming into homes and also plying their trade on the street. But, it is easy to see who the law sides with.
A British burglar called police when the victim in the home he broke into shot him with an air rifle. We received an email from England from a victim of a home burglary not long ago. She said, “My husband is also on trial at the moment. He was charged with murder after a man burst into our house, intent on causing harm. We are hoping that he will be acquitted next week.” He was acquitted after the trial which should have taken place in the first place.
Two residents of England were recently sentenced to prison for beating a burglar senseless with a cricket bat that broke in two as they defended their home from a thug who broke into their home and put the family living there at risk. The burglar got probation. The sentences were later overturned.
An English farmer was sentenced to prison for defending his home against a burglar. And, the Yorkshire Ripper has applied for pension benefits that he believes he is entitled to while being in prison.
An Englishman who almost sliced off the ear of a home invader with an ornamental samurai sword has been acquitted of all charges after a trial. He was found not guilty of unlawful wounding. The home invader had threatened to rape his wife and kill his teenage children. He used...

Oh, now I see why Obamao is going to visit Ireland.
They share his ‘values’.
We should forget about Libya and nuke the UK into the pages of history.
Put them out of misery.
The UK and criminals. Ya have to love them.
Shoot em and bury them in the backyard.
Sheer madness.
Funny thing is, I know about 6 Immigrants from the UK who have taken the US citizenship oath, and all of them are still labor party folks. Not one Conservative among them. they left England because of the changes there, yet they bring the cause of that change here. Dare I say,they all voted for BO. Where will they move next?
You shot the crook?
Yes!
Are you mad?
What? He broke into my house!
So?
So? What do you mean so? I have kids and things.
As if that matters.
What do you mean?
Criminals have a right to work too.
A what?
They have a right to ply their trade without interference from us.
Are you kidding?
When is your trial?
My trial?
You will probably get some prison time and have to pay compensation.
That is nuts. A Farce.
Well this is the Land of Eng, after all. It is a farcical territory.
This already happens here...
A guy beats his wife...
the police are not interested...
One day she attempts to protect herself...
He calls the cops...
they come running to “protect” poor innocent victim him..
Is this why Obama wants to travel to Ireland to discover his roots?
Ireland ping!
Even if they have a backyard, it's not really big enough to bury anything.
Besides, most European countries require "home owners" to apply for permission if they want to cut down a tree on their own "property." Imagine how much trouble they would be in if they were to dig an unauthorized grave!
Generally, I’ve seen the opposite. In fact, I’ve seen the courts drag innocent men over the coals because of their wives making false accusations.
Same here, just with HOAs.
I have never heard of such a case.
I have
Generally, Ive seen what I said...
Now hold on just one minute! You mean to tell me there is a burglar that has an “estate?”
C’mon you Brits. You have to make a stand soon or it really will be to late.
"An English farmer was sentenced to prison for defending his home..."
I assume this is referring to the Tony Martin case. It happened back in 1999, but is always mentioned as if it happened last week. A jury convicted him of murder. They could have acquitted him on self-defence grounds, or found him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
The Myleene Klass incident was back in January 2010, not last week. The police denied issuing any warning about a knife. The story was given to the press by Myleene Klass' publicist. I think it was a publicity-generating exercise, nothing more.
