You CAN Beat Up A Burgler!

The below burgler got beat up by a home owner and is in a coma.
Tough hit I say!


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ghts-laws.html

Judge says homeowners CAN beat up burglars because new 'householder defence' does not break human rights laws
Householder defence' was introduced to 'toughen up' self defence laws
Was challenged by father of man in coma after being tackled as 'intruder'
However, High Court ruled no human rights breach in attacking burglars using force which is considered to be 'grossly disproportionate' remains illegal
Judges have backed ‘bash a burglar’ laws that give householders the right to use force to tackle intruders.

In a landmark ruling, the High Court said allowing people to use ‘disproportionate’ levels of violence to protect themselves and their families from housebreakers did not breach human rights laws.

I had printed a plastic sign, which I have on my back door:

"Dear Burglar...name somebody who will think to look for you beneath my floorboards!?"

Aaaaawwwww come on Doc.
Have a heart.
I mean, don't you think he has suffered enough?
The poor man has been in a coma for two years with no prospect of him coming out of it.

'Denby Collins, 39, was restrained in a headlock by several terrified members of the household in Gillingham, Kent, in December 2013 and when police arrived to arrest him on suspicion of burglary he was unconscious.
Mr Collins was taken to hospital but has remained in a coma ever since and doctors say he has little prospect of getting better.'

Shouldn't we ask Oscar Pistorius his opinion on the subject before we condemn this buglar?

Serves the blighter right - if hadn't gone thieving in the first place he wouldn't be in that predicament. About time the HR act came out in the favour of victims of crime instead of the perpetrators.

Hi

A good sign to have on the front door.

Come in here at night and you will still be here in the morning.
