You are telling me the facts from your own point of view. I think you believe what you say. I think you believe you can shoot someone burglarizing your home and not be put on trial for it. I think you believe you could have legally shot the men attacking the soldier and not have been put through a trial.

I think you will be in for a rude awakening the moment you try.

Our police would probably have fired 72 rounds and hit everything but the perps...

I’ll stick with my own research and interpretations over anonymous internet board posters. Thanks, anyway.

Not my POV, but the actual facts of UK law. I am British and unlike most here actually know the laws (as of 2008, first hand).

A Manchester man recently stabbed to death a burglar. Result?. Nothing. Justifiable death due to self-defence.

In 2008, I was confronted by a junkie with a knife and a screwdriver. I punched him, disabled him and held him until police arrived. For that I got stabbed in the hand. Result?. Commended by the police and court, and the junkie got 44 months. 6 weeks out of jail last year, he attempted to murder someone and is now back in prison for the next decade.

If you dont believe me about the UK, ask other British freepers like Vanders or Winniesboy, perhaps when you see we all say the same thing, perhaps you’ll grasp I am correct. Not because I am infalliable, but because what I am saying is the actual truth. We ARE British, we live here, so we know whats the law and whats the myth.
