OK Britain might be a disarmed society but you still really don't want to go aggravating Irish builders.

This should bring a smile to the Irish list.

So what did they sentence him to for defending his daughter?

The man with the knuckleduster screamed 'He's fighting back the b******, kill the b******, he's fighting back.'"

Wow. Real tough guys.

When those guys get out of prison, he should arrange for them each to win a free, all-expenses-paid vacation to a Third World country.

And then have all loose ends tied up.

He managed to wrestle a gun from one of the masked raiders and chased them from his luxury home in Uxbridge, West London, in November 2006,

This can't be true. We all know that guns are ILLEGAL in England. Criminals certainly wouldn't be breaking the law now would they.

British people having replica guns shouldn't rob people who haven't.

Obviously, he was mistaken. There aren’t any violent crimes in the UK, and especially no guns. They’ve outlawed both, you see.

"A millionaire..."

"...would rather die like a man than a dog".

Me thinks the two have a relation.

Bully for him.

"I grabbed the gun and bashed it across the knuckle-duster guy. Next thing is they took off and I chased them down the stairs."

Why didn't he just shoot and kill them?

Everytime that I read about social dysfunction in England, I am remined of the movie “A Clockwork Orange”. The film was decades ahead of its time and much closer to the reality there now.

I don’t think even the wussy Brits will give this guy any trouble for defending himself in this case. Sad, pathetic that I have to even write that sentence.

The lady that was killed the day previously (Kam Fum Chung) is exactly the reason why they should allow as many guns as possible in the UK. From her picture, she looked like a middle aged smallish Chinese woman.

This is exactly the kind of woman that could benefit from having a firearm and be trained in it’s use. She was no match for these brutes, but with a firearm the odds are now evened up.

Of course he could have benefitted also, but even so he’s a big guy who can defend himself. Even against people stabbing him. The weakest members of society are the ones that benefit most from the right to bear arms.

Too bad he only chased them with the gun. But if he had shot them over there, he would have served time.
