Can you believe those imbiciles. This is so ridiculous. That man was only defending himself.

[Caipirabob]

Why haven't we (Americans), either?

I guess I feel pretty comfortable about it here in Florida. There are some areas where there might be trouble if one had to defend themselves but generally if you're in fear of your life down here in your own home, you can defend yourself.

You can also carry in your car without a license and so on.

Carry permits can be obtained after applying and paying an expensive registration fee.

But here in Jeb's state, I haven't really felt all that under assault.

But you're right, the British are fighting Socialists/Commies before fascists.

[Kozak]

Read this book.



A brilliant view of the collapse of English society.
After reading it I'm surprised that this poor guy wasn't slammed even harder by the system...

[Barset]

Anglo-Saxon law cannot withstand what the Left has loosed on the West.

[Fiddlstix]

Can you believe those imbeciles. This is so ridiculous. That man was only defending himself.

No, I cannot.....
As I said, "The inmates are running the asylum".
It is insanity

Coming to a theatre near you!
Popcorn?

[Edmund Burke]

Can't he appeal directly to the monarch for a pardon?

[Frank_2001]

The days when British monarchs could step in and cause a few "heads to roll" ended about four centuries ago, I'm afraid....

[alaskanfan]

We just want to register firearms to keep them out of the hands of criminals, it's never been about confiscation.

Lib rant bump

[WolfsView]

They might as well go ahead and make all property public and go completly commie if they are not going to protect and aloow one to protect his own property. Brings to mind a line from a song
"Rally round the family, with a pocket full of shells."

Ivan how could it get this bad across the pond?

[Axenolith]

When he gets released he needs to cart his ass over here, we need all the Tony Martins we can get...

[Axenolith]

Note to Brits:

1) Make sure you kill them.
2) Do a good job of disposing of the body or bodies.

That he has shown no remorse led the Orwellian Parole Board to refuse him freedom on the grounds that he poses a "threat to burglars."

They didn't actually use those words, I think those words were used by someone else do describe the decision.

[pariah]

"We will still," he explained patiently, "take a note of any burglaries reported for statistical purposes." They just won’t investigate them.

Well, gee. That's reassuring.

[TheDivineRightOfLifesScum]

I have to second that. The authorities over here seem downright pathological in their desire to go for people who defend themselves against crime. I personally think they have no moral capacity in them to oppose crime, and coming down like a ton of bricks on the victim is their way of compensating for that shortcoming.

Disdain for the victim is widespread here and elsewhere, I even bumped into a liberal nutjob on this forum who on another thread about Martin said that he had it coming and deserved what he got. Other then that, he did not make a whole lot of sense, I doubt if he could have defended his position rationally. Absolutely nuts.

[The Raven]

In a blind panic the 55 year-old Martin took his gun out of the cupboard, crept down the stairs and fired three shots blindly into the dark, intending only to frighten them away.

Yeah, right! And he was two for two !!

[FreedomPoster]

When self-defense is pretty much explicitly outlawed by the government, its time to start shooting the b*$(&%ds. Probably past time.

[widgysoft]

The crap system we have here is a direct result of our socialist govt. The British National Party looks more appealing every day.

Mr Tony Blair is one of the worst PM's we've ever had.
