So, in Brittan you are not allowed to fight back if someone breaks into your house and tries to kill you.

A 78 year old guy taking on two home invaders and coming out ahead? Give him a medal and pay him bounty!

Removing the right to self defense is the ultimate goal of removing gun rights.

Ok, ok, ok...let me get this straight. Two...two, not one, break into a 78 year old
man’s house. One has a screw driver to threaten the old man...somehow, the old man seems to have gotten hold of the screw driver and stabbed the punk,

The punk dies and the old man get’s arrested for murder.....mmmm .

I like it a little better here in the USA... two punks break into an old man’s house, and BAM, BAM....two punks assume room temp and everyone applauds the home owner.

It would appear so. The people are required to die first, and ask questions later.
Is it my imagination, or is the UK turning into a shithole country?

More stupidity from a country working overtime to kill itself. From a world power to a Muslim country full of girlie people.

“Removing the right to self defense is the ultimate goal of removing gun rights.”...

Coming to the U.S. in the near future unless we gun owners stand up and fight. It may come to hand to hand combat as in this case.

“two punks assume room temp and everyone applauds the home owner.”.......

As the gubmint confiscates the home owners guns for violating the two punks civil rights. Just wait!

It's unlikely a home invader in my home would suffer a stab wound. However, severe dog bites and one or more bullet wounds would be highly likely.

This is what happens when a country lacks a constitution.

When I was station in England, we were brief not resist a burglar in your home. Base Legal office, stated help them carry your TV out so they do not hurt their back and sue you.

There is another story where a burglar fell through a roof of a warehouse, the burglar sue the warehouse owner for unsafe conditions. The guy is in a wheelchair now, but is set for life from the lawsuit. The government supply the burglar money to hire a lawyer for the lawsuit.

Was going to retire in England because of family there, but decided to return the Great USA because of stories like those and the taxes. England is a welfare state...

Awhile back I was reading an article about self-defense in Britain. The only item you are legally permitted to carry is a whistle (seriously). Even pepper spray is forbidden.

The police are helping the criminal carry out the crime, and persecuting the innocent man who was defending himself. The police need to spend the rest of their lives in prison, but won’t.

Is the old man White? The criminals non-White? that would explain it, since the UK has scheduled Whites for elimination, and their property to be given to the “new arrivals.”

It’s a shame the second burglar survived. With both dead, a shovel could have fixed the legal problem created by the screwdriver.
