Maybe the answer would be to bannish the burglars to the naughty step until they realise the severity of their crime and promise not to rob any other innocent people.
So you're standing there eye to eye with the burglar thinking that you must follow the due process of law. Mmm, me thinks that perhaps you will have more important things on your mind like, for instance, how you could protect yourself/family in the quickest most no nonsense means available to you.
So to clarify, a masked man (or men) breaks into your home at say 2.45am, it's dark, he is threatening you with say a baseball bat, you are scared witless. Hang on, you have a gun because you have a licence for it for whatever reason, you have a decision to make, shall I shoot this bugger or...
Be grateful I didn't have their childhood? Are you saying that it is ok for under privileged kids to rob? I dont think a kid has to be rich to have morals. Maybe I am wrong?
Does anybody else just feel so utterly angered by this or does anyone actually have any sympathy for the burglars.
This country is really, really crap sometimes.
