A pensioner found a burglar with his testicles impaled on a broken window in her bathroom.
When the man screamed he was dying, Joyce Edwards replied: "Good."
The 80-year-old had been woken by noises from the bathroom of her home in Crowthorne, Berkshire.
When she went to check, she saw the man dangling on shards of glass in his groin, says The Sun.
She said: "He cried out to me, "I'm dying, please help me". But I was so cross I shouted back "Good" and ran out of the house."
The pensioner alerted neighbours who called police and an ambulance. It's believed the man may have lost four pints of blood.
He was treated in hospital, but medics refused to say whether he had lost either of his testicles.
A 35-year-old man from Finchampstead, Berkshire, was later arrested and charged.

Maybe they have a point. Inflicting this particular kind of injury with a gun on a fully clothed person is a difficult shot.
Reminds me of an old joke with the punchline 'Swing 'em!'
To: kcar
Given this is the UK, I'll predict she'll be arrested for saying "Good" and he'll be able to sue her successfully. He'll put the ball back in her court. The ball may still be in her court, or bathroom anyway...

He should know better than to hang out around some grannies window!It's very possible he isn't hanging anywhere now.

Because the English had all their guns confisticated several years ago, and violent crime has shot up exponentially. Criminals figured out all the nice people turned their guns in to the police just as the English government asked them to, and were therefore easy pickings. Robbery in all its permutations has shot up exponentially, including violent home invasions, car smash-and-grabs and muggings. Its been in the news a lot, and FR has threads in the past on the British crime explosion.

Don't laugh, she most likely will be sued, and lose.

Have they said what the homeowner was charged with??
To: bedolido
A 35-year-old man from Finchampstead, Berkshire, was later arrested and charged. Does this have anything to do with the story?

"Hey, how's it hangin'?"
To: Duckdog
it takes balls to sue... he would be nuts to do it now. Even if he's egg'd on by friends, a court trial would mean testi-monials.
I know... dumb... but I gotta be me.

Some people actually opt for that kind of pain. Yeesh.Are you talking about piercings, or is there something else I'm too pure and innocent to know about?

"He cried out to me, "I'm dying, please help me". But I was so cross I shouted back "Good" and ran out of the house. I wouldn't want to be an 80-year-old child of God, whose a short time away from meeting my Maker, having recently told another child of God that I was happy about his dying.
