Another reason the British people are a shadow of their former selves.

The Brits have lost it....
They are waaaaay past the tipping point...

Pass the popcorn...

At least the intruder has free health care.

Paid for by all the hardworking homeowners.

Here in the States, the Castle Doctrine would preclude that from happening, since you have no duty to retreat from your home before defending yourself.

You do in Massachusetts.

First they came for their guns.

What’s next? A mandate for softer sidewalk and glass that is not so sharp?

he was disturbed rifling through through the flat.


DISTURBED????I think we can figure out who the media favors in this one. Disturbed...a couple of .357 wadcutters would really disturb...now I am disturbed.

“Whatever happened to Brits like this [Sir Winston Churchill]”

I’ll tell you. Heroic Britons such as Sir Winston passed on to their well-deserved reward secure in the belief that they had done their duty for a great people.

Their reward included not having to witness this sordid pathetic aftermath. That sad burden is left to the rest of us.

Another reason the British people are a shadow of their former selves.

This is where we are being led by the feckless do-gooder touchy-feely highly-emotional unthinking handwringing liberal types.

I can trace my great great grandparents back to England. I am so thankful, they had the timing and good sense to get out while the getting was good.

There once was a bloke you don't pester
Whose flat was high up in Manchester
A burglar stopped by
Then proved he can't fly
By landing quite hard on his keister.

Thrown out the window
He screams as he is falling
He made a bad choice

You do [have to retreat from your home before defending yourself] in Massachusetts.

Well, Massachusetts only momentarily detached itself from The King's Rule back in the day. It's right back to being a monarchy (the Kennedys and the Kerrys), taxing the crap out of anything that doesn't move and confiscating guns... ;-)

I lived in Puerto Rico for several years in the 60’s. One of the guys I worked with had a sixth floor apartment in a high-rise.

reports came that a cat burglar was scaling the exterior walls, entering the apartment from the small balconies on each.

My friend bought a can of axle grease and coated the lip of the balcony.

He came in one morning stating that there was a beautiful set of hand and fingers smears indicating the burglar’s hands slipped from the balcony. He had a polaroid photo.

"You've got to give em a sportin chance. lol"

LOL!! My statement to the police: "Officer, I was sleeping peacefully when a loud BANG awoke me. I got up and much to my surprise what did I see, there below my third floor window lay a chap. He must have tripped over the cat, going head first over the window still, into my wife's thorny rose garden and petunias."
