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...

Seriously?
I have a buddy whose nutso ex had her boyfriend beat her up and then filed charges blaming him. After a weekend in jail, he was finally released when he proved - via GPS tracking and security footage from a gas station - that he wasn’t even in the STATE at the time.
Did she get charged with anything? Nope. Even when she did it again. And then AGAIN. (The third time, my friend didn’t have to spend a weekend in jail, and the nutjob was told that she might be charged if she make one more false report.)
That’s the FAR more common scenario.
Make should be made...
What about the guys who beat up their wives and then call the police on her saying they need protection
the police come running to arrest her even though shes the one with all the bruises...
Yup.
A woman can destroy a man by crying “rape.” Even if he wasn’t in the same state at the time, it’s still painful, expensive, and life wrecking to go through.
PS Not casting aspersions on real rape victims, who can have a very tough time getting justice. Helped two friends through that nightmare, too.
That happens, but the opposite is far more common...
Give us some actual statistics to back up your "Bizaro World" claim. I'm raising the BS flag.
Your attitude is partly why so few women report rapes or abuse from their husbands..
Sickening.
Except that once you've decided criminals are the ones that need protecting, you've eliminated the disincentive for people to listen to what you want. "Yeah, I buried this guy in my back yard. But you know what that makes me?....A criminal!! -- now you have to do what I say!"
You’ve got no evidence to back up your claims; otherwise you wouldn’t play the Alinsky tactics.
I’ve actually dealt with genuine instances of spousal abuse where a man assaulted the woman; I’ve also seen women lie through their teeth and claim they’ve been abused in order to get revenge over a real or imagined offense. Your bizarre claims are a slap in the face to actual victims and you should be ashamed of yourself.
The shame is all yours
In spite of all the insanity I’ve seen in the world so far, it still baffles me how these people can find the rationality for such things. How does one justify this to himself, much less to other people?
