A millionaire businessman who fought back against a knife-wielding burglar was jailed for two-and-a-half years yesterday. But his attacker has been spared prison.
Munir Hussain, 53, and his family were tied up and told to lie on the floor by career criminal Waled Salem, who burst into his home with two other masked men.
Mr Hussain escaped and attacked Salem with a metal pole and a cricket bat. But yesterday it was the businessman who was starting a prison sentence for his 'very violent revenge'.
Jailing him, Judge John Reddihough said some members of the public would think that 56-year-old Salem 'deserved what happened to him' and that Mr Hussain 'should not have been prosecuted'.
But had he spared Mr Hussain jail, the judge said, the 'rule of law' would collapse.

In a just world, the “judge” would see some time in a prison cell.

The Lord works in mysterious ways, perhaps the judge will get his home invaded by the savage he set free.
Life imitates art: (from the movie “Liar, Liar”)
Greta: Mr. Reede, several years ago a friend of mine had a burglar on her roof, a burglar. He fell through the kitchen skylight, landed on a cutting board, on a butcher’s knife, cutting his leg. The burglar sued my friend, he sued my friend. And because of guys like you *he won*. My friend had to pay the burglar $6,000. Is that justice?
Fletcher: No!
[Greta looks pleased, but then Fletcher continues]
Fletcher: I’d have got him ten.
[Greta stalks off, appalled]
Yet more proof that the entire world has lost its freakin’ mind.....
“Revenge”? That is one hell of a dysfunctional way to see it. The UK is truly messed up!
Ungland...
Britain needs a shakeup from top to bottom, the type than no longer come fully through the system. These types of decisions will further the rise of the BNP.
In a just world, the “judge” would see some time in a prison cell.In a just world, the judge would meet the business end of that cricket bat.
Your friend should’ve shot the bastard and tossed out in some alley somewhere.
It’s just the UK, not a civilized country. These things go on all the time there.
America would already be where the UK is except we put our foot down. President Nixon ran on “law and order” and all those movies, “Dirty Harry” 1971, etc. were an expression of our outrage at criminals who had more rights than their victims:
Harry Callahan: I know what you’re thinking. “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
Sounds a little different when you read the story. He didn’t attack the perp in his house but he and his brother chased him down and then beat him while he lay on the ground. Also, the reason the perp “got off” was because the brain damage from the beating made him unable to enter a plea at trial.
Let’s see, Mr. Hussain was jailed for protecting his home and family against 3 men who broke into his home. He ATTACKED the man who broke into his home. According to the judge, the rule of law must prevail about attacking a house breaker...and the crook goes free. Am I missing something here? The crook did have a knife and was using it...There’s something haywire here.
This judge is worthless as a human being.
Every once in a while, a violent Muslim is on the side of civilization.
Thank you, Mr. Hussain, for taking this subhuman thug permanently out of action, and good luck with your appeal.
Always make sure there are no witnesses, if someone commits a crime against you make sure they cannot appear in court.....
