Burglaries down, Stabbings up

[wim121]

Yet another person charged and bailed, just for defending themselves. Ridiculous!

Another MANCHESTER home owner

Either the southerners are rolling over and letting the thugs get away with it or they are very good at disposing of unwanted waste

The North is full of thieves and scallies. Down here in the South if I forget to lock the front door with £500 in cash on the kitchen table someone will come in, put the money away in a drawer and then shut the door for me just in case a Northerner might walk by.

Could have been an attempt to force owners of expensive cars parked up front to give car keys.

It's actually easier to get the keys at 1am-3am on a week day morning when the occupants are likely to be asleep.

Lots of people leave car keys in the hall in the open and women leave their handbags there also.

Burgling someone on a Friday/Saturday evening or night is stupid as their is likely to be someone around.

Stabbing is a little messy though, you'd have pay to have it cleaned up.
I'd use a baseball bat.

PS What's with the family of the scrote leaving flowers outside? I'd have them chucked away.

The other half would go bonkers if the Italian wallpaper got stained.

As I was cricket batting the corpse she would be thinking about 100 quid a roll wall paper.

The law states you are allowed to use reasonable force.

Unless you are over 70 the police and CPS have to confirm this.

What "the law" doesn't know about , It can't get uppity about"

No need to charge with murder before the check is complete though?

Where does it say he has been charged with anything?

[AtW]

Where does it say he has been charged with anything?

You are correct: "A man who was arrested on suspicion of murder"

I suppose they have to do that if they have someone stabbed in a house with the other person saying he did it.

I think an axe to the head of the burglar is a reasonable amount of force for self-defence..... Metal baseball bat would do the job as well.
