"That's what they did when Vicky Horgan and her sister were shot and bleeding to death in Highmoor Cross, declining even to enter the village, never mind the house. And that's what they did when Julia Pemberton called 999 at 7.10 one evening, racing round in response, arriving at 7.50 and then waiting until 1.20 in the morning before deciding it was safe to enter. It was: Mrs Pemberton and her son had both been dead for some hours."
That's just frickin' great: disarm the law abiding citizenry to make sure that criminals can go about their business without fear that some irate homeowner will blow their damn brains out or that a fearful battered woman might be able to defend her life and then set up a police force that is either powerless to act to too damn afraid for their own miserable lives. Whatever happened to "Protect and Serve"?
Sounds like Columbine HS response.
