Bellend Sebastian Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 i hope no-one thinks that i was being serious about the themed suicides in my other posts though I thought it was quite a good idea Comrade chairman! You must be working too hard - maybe it is the hair folicle cancer you have contracted from the city centre free wifi? In my mind, definitely. Tirelessly, and for the good of humanity, like Florence Nightingale or Louis Pasteur
Finnegan Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 I very often agree with John Because you're both evil, fascist, money-worshiping fvcks. I mean, I love you guys and would hate this place without you... but you're still evil, fascist, money-worshiping fvcks.
Webbo Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Because you're both evil, fascist, money-worshiping fvcks. That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
acooling08 Posted 25 June 2011 Posted 25 June 2011 Even the stabbed guys' dad has said that a homeowner should be able to defend is property. The thug got what he deserved. Hopefully it will deter the other 3 from burglary again.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 There is a big difference between 1) waking up to find someone in your house, being threatened and killing someone in defending yourself and your family, and 2) Hearing someone trying to open a door or window into your house, and instead of shouting at them to leave and calling the police, grabbing a knife while under no immediate threat, opening said door and chasing them down and stabbing them to death. I have no idea which sort of incident this will end up being found to be, however my point is there is a wide range of events which can be described as has been reported here. Yes, you are quite right, Jon. Circumstances do vary. If I felt threatened, or a member of my family looked to be under threat, then I would use anything that came to hand, on the intruder.
Head Honcho Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 I think multiple stabs are out of order. That's just gratuitous. The unwritten rule is that you are allowed one free stab then the burglar has to exit the building.
Head Honcho Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 The surprising thing about this is that it happened in Salford and he was stabbed! I thought everyone in Salford had a gun
Bellend Sebastian Posted 29 June 2011 Posted 29 June 2011 Well there you go: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13957587 So it looks like you might be able to cheerily stab people breaking into your house now after all

I mean, I love you guys and would hate this place without you... but you're still evil, fascist, money-worshiping fvcks. I don't worship money, I just prefer having worked hard for it not to have to give a huge chunk of it to the state to waste on well meaning but ultimately pointless policies.
ozleicester Posted 29 June 2011 Posted 29 June 2011 Well there you go: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13957587 So it looks like you might be able to cheerily stab people breaking into your house now after all hahahahahaha, oh dear "He told the BBC people were entitled to use "whatever force necessary" to protect themselves and their homes." Anyone know where i can pick up some weapons of mass destruction?... just to protect all my material goods
Bellend Sebastian Posted 29 June 2011 Posted 29 June 2011 Presumably this means that burglars will be countering this new hazard by being excitingly well armed when they go about their burgling. I feel so much safer now
Webbo Posted 29 June 2011 Posted 29 June 2011 When somebody breaks into your home that is an act of violence in itself.All this means is that you don't have to wait until the burglar/s pulls a knife on you before you can defend yourself. It means that the police don't need to waste time prosecuting people who never asked to be burgled in the first place.
Zingari Posted 29 June 2011 Posted 29 June 2011 Presumably this means that burglars will be countering this new hazard by being excitingly well armed when they go about their burgling. I feel so much safer now Good point , but presumably if you wake up in the middle of the night and someone is in your house, and your doors and windows were securely fastened , I think it would be safe to assume that any burglar would be tooled up with at least some sort of crowbar anyway
acooling08 Posted 1 July 2011 Posted 1 July 2011 Is it becos 'e is black? Was the burgular black? Doesn't surprise me But in all seriousness, it doesn't matter what ethnicity he was, he deserved what he got.
Daggers Posted 1 July 2011 Posted 1 July 2011 I very often agree with John Unt talk like a foreigner you do too.
mammalian Posted 2 July 2011 Posted 2 July 2011 After an incident at uni involving a knife and my arm (long story, 15 cans of fosters....), I don't think I could ever stab someone Horrific! I'd condone the use of a blunt weapon though on any intruder!
Zingari Posted 23 July 2011 Posted 23 July 2011 Among the other news this won't get much of an airing but there is to be no prosecution of Peter Flanagan http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-14248097 A man who fatally stabbed a burglar at his home in Salford will not be prosecuted, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has said. Peter Flanagan, 59, who was confronted by machete-wielding intruders, "did what he believed necessary" to defend his home in Pendlebury, the CPS ruled. John Bennell, 27, of Hyde, died following the stabbing on 22 June.

davieG Posted 23 July 2011 Posted 23 July 2011 If you go into someone's house with a machete you should expect someone to come at you with whatever they can lay their hands on. If it was me I'd have scarpered with the missus pronto, but then I must be coward, it's a brave man who faces someone with a machete armed with just a knife and I'm more than happy to see he came out victorious and innocent in the eyes of the law and the machete wielding thug is no more.
Zingari Posted 23 July 2011 Posted 23 July 2011 If you go into someone's house with a machete you should expect someone to come at you with whatever they can lay their hands on. I'd go further If you just go into someone's house you should expect someone to come at you with whatever they can lay their hands because at the time the householder has no idea what weapon the intruder has to hand edit; just to clarify by "just going into someone's house" , I mean in a breaking and entering / burglary situation , not guests or the man who reads the electric meter etc
Guest MattP Posted 23 July 2011 Posted 23 July 2011 As someone who has caught people breaking into his house it's a relief to see this as any of us could end up in prison. If its never happened to you before you can't even describe the feeling, it happens in a flash and you will resort to absolutely anything to protect your family. I've never committed an act of violence in my life but I felt my family was 0.01% of danger from someone who has broken into my house to steal all the things I work hard for doing him serious harm would cause me no distress whatsoever. Well there you go: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13957587 So it looks like you might be able to cheerily stab people breaking into your house now after all As you should be able to if somebody breaks into your house without permission. Presumably this means that burglars will be countering this new hazard by being excitingly well armed when they go about their burgling. I feel so much safer now Yeah because when you are woken up at 3am by someone breaking in you dont expect them to be tooled up.
