Sorry .... couldn't help myself ! Especially for @Mustafa II

Can't say I blame him for what he did though.

Murderer or manslaugterer… that isn’t actually a word is it ?

The legal system tried to crucify Tony Martin, but they let a known violent crook off scot free because "He thought it was a burglar prowling in the grounds" (actually it was a policeman watching the place). He later went on to kill a perfectly innocent kid in a road rage incident.
The law is an ass sometimes.

I was never a fan of his out-of-date beer and microwaved meals but RIP.

I might be wrong but I think that's exaxctly the point @GT49er is making. One rule for a fearful farmer and another for a known gangster.

Was Kevin Kenny's younger brother ?

Bit difficult to argue self defence when you shoot someone in the back.

Not if they are attacking you with a spinning kick or they are an Ankylosaurus

With an illegally held firearm didn't help his case either.

Having been burgled whilst we were sleeping upstairs some years ago I must admit that I had thoughts of 'what if I had woken up and found them'. Very dark thoughts which is not like me at all. But I had nightmares for years afterwards until I moved home.

And had you woken up and the scrotes scarpered, do you think you would still shoot them in the back?

Odd comment! Was there a suggestion these two scrotes where into martial arts?

Never even shot a gun let alone owned one. Luckily it's only a 'what if' in my case
But I certainly don't think I would have said help yourself.
I'm just saying that unless you are or have been put in the situation that Tony Martin was in who knows what you would do?
Having an uninvited stranger in your home, your private space is horrendous. You definitely feel threatened. Basic human instinct takes over, fight or flight

Let's not let facts get in the way of a tearful send of for a Great British Hero.

I was expecting someone would post an RIP thread for this bloke, while hoping it would be someone I have on ignore so I wouldn't have to see it.

Oh well. Never mind.
