Tony Martin - murderer.

It'll be twenty years ago in a couple of days since the absolutely horrible Tony Martin shot a child alleged burglar in the back as the kid did a runner.

There's quite an educational article about Martin in today's Daily Mail.

After being rightly found guilty of murder, which it undoubtedly was, the browhaha from the general public that claimed that the little to rag that Martin murdered deserved what the kid got and so the charge was reduced to one of manslaughter and his sentence was reduced.

Should the little sod have been "on the Rob"? Of course not, but he was offering no threat to Murdering Martin especially as he was legging it.

Now Martin has given an interview about how he sees life and the values that he continues to live by.

It's worth reading to see inside the mind of a truly horrible person.

Tony Martin was 100% in the right and should have been rewarded rather than prosecuted.

Yes he should been given a medal

He had no lights in his house he was being invaded and just shot a little toe rag.

Also on appeal murder charge was reduced to Manslaughter.

Should have been freed then and there.

Re: Tony Martin - murderer.

A very complex man. I wouldn't want to befriend him - that's for sure.

He does say in the interview that he was afraid and he shot blindly. I don't think he aimed for the victims back. We must remember he had been harassed beyond endurance.

I don't know about him being a horrible person Todger.

I neither applaud him or support him. He has Aspergers and what seems to me to be a sad life.

Re: Tony Martin - murderer.

I fail to see how someone who is running away is a threat. At most Murdering Martin might have shot into the air - but to shoot in the back?

Nah.

It seems that it's just me but I don't think that's right or excusable.

Re: Tony Martin - murderer.

Most people regret he didn’t shoot the other one as well.
In the event that one lived to continue his career of thieving ,drug dealing and general anti social activities .
