Asa Bear Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Is it any wonder people feel compelled to take the law into their own hands with idiots like this on the bar. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2198621/It-takes-huge-courage-burgle-somebodys-house-What-judge-told-intruder-raided-homes-letting-walk-free-court.html A bit more information on the Leicestershire burglary & shooting. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9522512/Shot-burglar-was-in-couples-bedroom-wearing-mask.html Edited September 5, 2012 by Logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) mmm thats more facts than out so far if thats how it happened and the cabinet was in the bedroom then sounds a straight up self defence case job done. 2 very lucky bunglers lucky to be alive Edited September 5, 2012 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storme37 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 was he shot in the bedroom one wonders because thats very close range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 oh come on... confronted in the bedroom and then a gun discharged... the gun cannot have been properly secured for that to happen OR was readied when the initial sound of glass was heard. Either case would point to pre-meditation and, rightly or wrongly, that will land the victims probably in deeper poo than the scrotes!

jgguinness Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 As you say, more facts released. So the guy was a license, so was a wrong'un anyway was masked and in their bedroom. Fire away I say!! Jesus, I have three young children and a wife, I would defend them all the way if robbers were in my home!

storme37 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 so if the 1st burglar was shot in the bed room (how he walked away lord knows) where was the other shot one wonders. surely if they were shot close range they would not have got out the building!!!! not saying the guy was wrong to shoot just saying i think theres more to this to come so i reserve judgement for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant hit rabbits 123 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) One was injured in that hand. Hardly fatal. Who's to say either of them caught the full pattern? The new facts are quite interesting, and despell some of the doubt. Edited September 5, 2012 by cant hit rabbits 123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's to say either of them caught the full pattern? indeed so i will wait for more info before i say in my opinion it was right or wrong. in principle i agree householders should have the right of defence.

Either case would point to pre-meditation and, rightly or wrongly, that will land the victims probably in deeper poo than the scrotes! depends if he was woken on their entry got the gun from a cabinet in the bedroom and waited in there then he may be ok if it was used in self defence. Whichever it will be an interesting case if it was properly secured prior to the break in, as certainly public opinion will be very much on their side.

Either case would point to pre-meditation and, rightly or wrongly, that will land the victims probably in deeper poo than the scrotes! i think then this is the point that the law should be changed. if the speculated act of 'readying the gun' on hearing breaking glass, in the middle of the night means its 'premeditated' -i think this is wrong. just imagine he didnt do this, was confronted by the masked intruder in his bedroom, and forced to open to safe anyway and being put through god knows what sort of ordeal and possibly turning guns over to scum of the earth (been a few like this recently) .

He should serve the prison sentence for the scrote he let go. Edited September 5, 2012 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parapilot Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 He must of heard them break in, got the gun out and waited. Surly if he shot him, he be dead unless it's been discharged when the thief tried to grab the gun and forced him to fire. Hence the hand injury. Be interesting to hear the facts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storme37 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 if he was shot in the hand i doubt the shooter was trying to kill him maybe he caught part of a warning shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
