I sure hope that there is more to this...but as it stands in the article, i am just dumbfounded by the world that we live in today....

Crossing London off my list of places to live.....

I read just yesterday (BBC news online) than London now has a higher murder rate than NYC.

Rather surprising for a country with such stringent gun ownership laws.

Yeah, London never was on my list.

This is the same thing they are going for here, don't protect yourself or your property, call the police. Yeah right, by the time you get a response it's to late.

They want a world of victims who are helpless in every part of their lives and cry for help to their democratic socialist government who will fix all their problems.

It's not even shocking to me anymore. Always knew that Europe wasn't a place for me anyway.

The articles is not very clear, someone is not good at writing.

Is the old guy being arrested for defending himself??

Yes. The old guy is being arrested for stabbing the intruder in the chest. Intruder then died from wound after leaving the house.

I sure hope that the article left out some important information...because if the above is true, then that is a fukked up system in London!

This is what is going on in England, some of this is many years old. Place is nuts.

Same is true here. Unless it was impossible or improbable for you to escape safely you're supposed to flee your own home and call the police instead of engaging the burglar. That one has never made sense to me.

On top of this, if the intruder/ attacker turns to flee, you can’t keep going after him because your life is no longer in danger like some how you can instantly turn everything off with everything that comes with a life and death struggle. Not too long ago I read a similar article about a girl in Germany who a guy was trying to rape and she used pepper spray on him, which from what was said in the article is banned in Germany, and the police arrested her. There are some really sad things going on in the world. It seems a lot of people’s only answer is ban something, like the links posted above to ban knifes, and it effects all walks of life. Some jerk off shoots somebody, ban guns, oops, now jerk off stabs somebody, ban knifes, jerk off drives across some place he shouldn’t, ban off roading. Pepper spray, what could you possibly need pepper spray for?

Which, depending on the circumstances, "impossible or improbable" seems like a pretty vague term.

Knives control now!

Well, technically speaking, the London incident may have involved a screwdriver. The intruder apparently was attacking the homeowner with screwdriver...and it is not clear if the intruder’s chest wounds were from knife OR screwdriver.

So, it is my personal opinion that we NEED TO BAN SCREWDRIVERS!!!

Well if that works, why not just ban intruders?

Now, you’re just getting ridiculous!
