This was probably posted two years ago; I thought it would be interesting to see how things have progressed steadily downhill in England since 2000. I see that police are now calling for a ban on fake guns in Britain, since that's all they have left to ban. The British government has conveniently created not just a few victim rich areas, but have made the whole damn island just that!

Here in the Free Republic of Texas an intruder in your home is consider a grave threat and can be "disposed" of in an appropriate fashion. If he is outside of your house you may not dispose of him unless he is a mortal threat (coming at you with a knife gun etc). If he is running away do not dispose of him are you will go to jail.

I have friends in several EU countries and they all say the exact same thing - that crime is totally out of control and that walking on any city street has become life-threatening.

Don't worry. I'll only get worried, when they ban fingerguns and start requiring surgeries.:^0

TRUTH is eternal, Forty-five. Great post!

One of the pillars of philosophy of my favorite Frenchmen, Antoine de Saint-Exupery (The Little Prince) is that of mans perception is contradictory to the truth. Counter intuitive is the current name of this human, and tragic, ability to see things not as they are.

And so the British Fabian Socialists see criminals as victims and victims, if they refuse to act the part, criminals.

Almost any of Dick Francis's crime novels bear out what Steyn says about the British police -- they're useless.

I remember advice that the county sheriff gave my granddad back in the 1950's (as related by my father):

Granddad: Bill, what am I supposed to do if someone breaks into the store?

Sheriff: Shoot 'im, but if you shoot 'im make sure you kill 'im or he'll sue ya'. If he's in the yard and ya' shoot 'im, make sure ya' drag 'im back inside so ya' can say that he was in the store when ya' shot 'im.

I went to Sheriff Bill's funeral 6 years ago. I miss that guy.

In Britain, criminals, police, and magistrates are united in regarding any resistance by the victim as bad form.

I would never live under laws like that. It would be time to find another country to live in.

Britian is a self-inflicted wound. Power may be with the so called Crown, but the Crown has no power. The Parliament is made up of elected individuals. These people could be deposed of through elections if the people gave a tinkers damned about their own personal safety and rights. The power is always in the hands of the people. The people have risen up and brought down countless goverments through the ballot box as well as by the gun. These people simply need to find and elect leaders who will lead and not so-called leaders like the left imposes upon you. We will eventually do the same thing here. The left is slowly gaining their footholds through the school system. People in the USA are getting lazier and lazier. It is easier to be the victim than to work and earn your way. Vote buying will continue. The left will slowly prevail. I pray it is not for another 40 or 50 years, but I fear it will be sooner. Let us elect a leftist Congress and President, and watch these same massive changes happen here. It will happen when the dems are in total control again. They will not allow theselves not to be out of power again.
