On another note - what kind of loser do you have to be - to be armed to the teeth - and yet still fail to kill anyone (although there's still someone badly injured in hospital)
Maybe we should be thankful that it's f-wits like this working for Islamic State.

They only hit with the rifle, because when they tried to shoot him, the rifle jammed.Originally posted by WordIsBond View PostThey beat the guy unconscious when all they had to do was disarm him and tie him up. If it happened here, he'd sue them, and they'd spend some time in Tony Martin's old cell.

Think any jury would convict them?Originally posted by WordIsBond View PostThey beat the guy unconscious when all they had to do was disarm him and tie him up. If it happened here, he'd sue them, and they'd spend some time in Tony Martin's old cell.
Also when shooting someone don't state you aimed at them and shot them
when they were running away from you. State you were shooting in the air to scare them and you accidentally hit them.
Do the first and it's unreasonable force as per Tony Martin, do the second and you will be in trouble for how you keep a gun and ammunition.
