Yes, I'm assuming that most people wouldn't intentionally kill a child burglar who was trying to get away so nolonger a danger to them and theirs, and I'm also assuming that most people wouldn't actually hand over all their worldly goods while expressing sympathy with the burglar. Unless anyone wants to out themselves as actually espousing either of those positions then I think my assumptions are sound.
Sadly as someone who has no children I will never be given the superpowers that come with having sex without contraception. I'll be an easy target for the rest of my life.

Are you trolling now? I obviously meant its not clear every person in thread supports 78 year old man. Drop your weapon lass!
That was a quick investigation. Friday evening I guess.

Yeah and I am not convinced most men would go batshit to protect their kids. It's hard to get them to even get out of bed without screaming at them to look after their kids IME

The logic is too perfect. Don’t even try taking it on. Aristotle would leg it if you hit him with logic like that.

Nah, I think most people have either said directly that they support him or didn't say it because even for the softest bastard here it doesn't need saying.

Sadly, there are no real winners in all this. A young man is dead, and an old man and his wife, approaching the last years of their lives, end their days probably scarred and terrified by what has occurred in their own home. The old man, in particular, will probably live out his time consumed with some guilt and remorse that he ended another's man's life, even though the circumstances surrounding it all was just Fate playing a bad deal on him and the victim. Pretty sad all round.
Yes, well said. Also to add that he may spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder as well. They may even have to move.
I was thinking that earlier. If the dead twat is from a scumbag family they'll likely want revenge.
Shakes fist at the liberal left for not pandering to what you and Tommy Robinson imagine are universally held working class prejudices by immediately tweeting to juxtapose the quick arrest of the pensioner against the decades of inaction against Muslim grooming gangs
Contrary to what's been claimed here, no-one I know has mentioned their outrage at the arrest of this pensioner, and most would regard any cynical attempt to link this case to so-called "muslim grooming gangs" with the contempt it deserves, because not every member of the working class is as susceptible to bigotry as you seem to be and seem to believe everyone else is.
And the idea that TR is regarded as the voice of reason beyond you and a handful of other twats who wank away over his every utterance is a joke, but I'm sure he's very grateful for your tireless work on his behalf.

Yeah, I was thinking that. It was pretty much the inevitable outcome, but I thought they'd go through the motions a bit longer. Might be wrong, but afaik they haven't caught the 2nd perp yet have they (potential witness?)? Almost as if the OB have uncovered the burglar's history of preying on the elderly and thought 'fuck him'.

No, it wasn't quick, it should have been over the second they saw how old the bloke was!
Good, though. Glad they made the decision and got it out quickly. Hope the other burglar's caught soon and the old bloke (hadn't seen the photo before - it's awesome) has a lot of support after what happened to him. Doesn't sound like just going home will be that easy for him, given the dead bloke's really fucking dodgy family and the other bloke not being found, but moving wouldn't be easy either because it never is, but especially when your 78 and your wife's got dementia.
One upside of the publicity could be that the couple do actually get some help if they want to move or not.

I presumed the investigation went like this:
Was the screwdriver brought by the burglar or not.
It doesn't match any screwdriver set in said house.
Double-check. Nope.
Defensive wounds ? Yes.
Definitely not self inflicted. Expert says no.
Case closed.
On the plus side they’re now minus one member.

I don't know, judging by some comments some people dream of the day they can corner an intruder in their house and stab the shit out of them.
