I can't even think of what this world is coming to.

Rule of law rests upon an underlying moral code or else it will go seriously awry. Law separate from morality becomes incoherent.

When will the people of the UK stop putting up with this crap?

[AngryJawa]

This isn't about the UK justice system or yobs. This is about this guy's sense of style.

Sweet fluffy Lord!

Thank you founding fathers of 1776

Unfortunately, we are moving in the same direction. If you do not make yourself completely dependent on the police and the system you will be viewed as a threat to that very system and dealt with accordingly.

"Granddad Gurmail Singh was beaten to death with a hammer as he tried to defend his shop from four teenage hoodies stealing cigarettes and chocolate last month. "

Yeah, let's blame the Granddad for trying to protect his livelihood; he should have offered to hold the door open for the kids as they stole his goods < /saracasm>

Personally, I'm a big fan of the 9mm solution; 2 to the head, and 1 to the chest.

If this just happened once, it could be a fluke. But you read story after story about this kind of thing happening in England. I think it first came to my attention when that guy was thrown into jail for murder after defending his home from robbers who had broken in several times before and had beaten him up.

Protecting yourself, your family, your house, is just not allowed. And the police have no interest in protecting you either.

I would say "unbelievable" but the Daily Mail runs these stories every week with no apparent shortage.

Ultimately, Britain is a democracy and this craziness is a result of those they've elected into power.

[GeronL]

These stories have been common as posted from the UK papers.

It is basically against the law to interfere with criminals in their course of their duties.

A once great country torn asunder by political correctness.

The spokesman said: 'On no account should any attempt at aggression be made as this could easily escalate into violence.'

Granddad Gurmail Singh was beaten to death with a hammer as he tried to defend his shop from four teenage hoodies stealing cigarettes and chocolate last month.

Sure stand by and let the hoodies take all of your possessions. When the police finally get there they can take your statement and try finding the yoots responsible in a week or two.

The Brits need to come back to reality before it is too late. Armed defense of your person and your property is a natural God given right. .

If a few hoodies lose their lives once in a while whilst trying to take another man’s property unlawfully perhaps their parents will try a bit harder to keep them home at night and perhaps the yoots will think a second time before committing unlawful acts.

What an awful story made worse by the hooligans killing his grandfather

[a fool in paradise]

Sussex police said Mr Miah should not have tried to apprehend the youths and should have 'observed from a safe distance' before dialling 999.

Oddly enough, this is the same tactic British police use themselves!

Remember that when you are citing quotations from the original article, the HTML code for pub hooligans in the UK is < blokequote >...

[SWAMPSNIPER]

You would expect to read stuff like this in Alice in Wonderland!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

This is not uncommon in the UK and Europe. You see, the restaurant owner is also guilty of having more property than the thieves. He could even be held more responsible since his supply of beer “lured” these punks into breaking in. Five years in irons ought to teach him...

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Seems too many value criminal rights over victims rights.

Its a trend coming to the US....note the recent push to end the Death Penalty in many US states....all in the guise of a few innocents being wrongly convicted (instead of fixing the justice system....liberals instead reward criminals)

[arthurus]

Criminals in Britain are a “protected minority.”
