I can't even begin to understand this line of "thought."

Farm tenant arrested after burglars shot was 'plagued by break-ins'
The man is believed to have grabbed a legally owned gun after they were disturbed by the break-in early yesterday.
He is understood to have fired at the intruders who then fled the isolated house at Melton Mowbray, Leics, before calling the police.
Yesterday the businessman and his wife were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. Four men, understood to be the suspected burglars, were also arrested.

In 2009, the millionaire businessman Munir Hussain fought back with a metal pole and a cricket bat against a knife-wielding burglar who tied up his family at their home in Buckinghamshire. Hussain was jailed for two and a half years, despite his attacker being spared prison.
WTF is wrong with these people?
-
They are "subjects". The privilege of violence is reserved to the Crown.
-
Don't be silly, that's what the "Bobby's" are for....ya know, to handle such break-ins, over and over, and over, and over again.
Pathetic.
Can't even smack em' with a cricket bat.

Boggles the mind, doesn't it??

I was looking to verify the Munir Hussain story when I found this on Wikipedia. It has enough detail that I'll take it as true.
There were 3 robbers and the family was tied up. One managed to free themselves and the resistance began. From the entry:
Awais Hussain[6]: These men were wearing balaclavas and holding 12in knives to our necks. They punched me and my father repeatedly in the head and face and pushed us all to the floor. My father tried to reason with them, saying, "Take everything we have - just don't hurt us". But the men were sneering and shouting, "We're gonna f*****g kill you". My sister and mother were crying hysterically. We all thought we were going to die.

It looks like a bad guy wasn't treated with kid gloves after the tables were turned.

A welfare state where the law abiding citizens are completely defensless
Democrat Heaven.

Sometimes I consider the phrase Live Free or Die.
When I do I consider not being free as being a slave..like the plantations of the early US.
And some times I question whether dieing is a price to high to pay to avoid that type of slavery.
When I read the two stories of this thread, I find my answer.
I would die fighting a society where I was not free to defend myself and others....let alone to not live in chains.

It's something I've understood since 3rd grade.
I was fortunate enough to attend school just before the liberals "improved" education, we studied NH history in elementary school

I was going to ask why the "Crown" is so contrary to people defending themselves but realized I don't care because the people, while subjects, still elect their representatives. So this is the government they deserve.

The Crown hasn't changed it's thinking since 1776! Just the names have changed...They fear their population and with good reason. Look what happened here in Lexington and Concord... Pretty soon, butter knives will be outlawed while Prince Harry's hairy ass is photoed with another hottie in Vegas!
It's England...who cares!

Exactly where my mind went after a few minutes of thought ;)
