    He had form, too - not as much as the scum he shot, but he is hardly a shining example. He was banned from having a gun after a previous incident.

    Booby trapping your house and shooting someone dead in the back is hardly the act of a hero, although I accept that the Police let him down and the kid was hardly a loss to society.
    Take a look at his mugshot and decide for yourselves whether he is a really bad man or not.

      If you don't want to get shot, don't break into someone's home.

        Are you sure about that?

            Yeah! People should be judged on whether they look like nice people, not on the facts! Too right!

              He doesn't look like a dangerous loon to you then? Country folk do seem to like killing things though, so you maybe you're onto something. Only a short hop from killing foxes to shooting burglars.

                  You're reacting in exactly the way the media wants you to. You might like to look at the other 5,473 photos of the guy that the journos sifted through in order to find the most 'evil looking' one.

                      Clearly that is a load of rubbish, but then again they are both vermin.
