Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

So sorry to have had this incident happen Mr. D! What a horrible thing for anyone to have to have gone through but especially someone this old. At this age, the elderly should be served with honor, dignity, and respect but nowadays many (esp. the younger generation) see them like potential targets or "throw-away objects!"

I know many of you are against the freedom we have with our guns but does my heart good when this happens and the thief/rapist gets their head blown off. I'm sure it makes our "scumbags" think a bit before they go into a house or apartment.

I know where you are coming from, it might act as a deterent from actually committing the crime, but if the scumbag thought Granny had a gun under her pillow, wouldn't the scumbag just take a gun as well?

After all if you are asleep having a gun would make no difference, you wouldn't have time to use it.

Although it has increased gun crime is still relatively rare in this country. If Granny was allowed to keep a gun it would just mean more of the criminals would carry them too.

That said, I'm sure we'd all like to take a pot shot at the cowardly piece of **** who broke into this elderly woman's house.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Yeah, you're right Rindy about the criminal then needin a gun. That's why I said it does my heart good when it works out right. There are many times when bad things happen in those situations like kids or spouse being accidentally shot. I guess I was noting a "perfect (said VERY tongue-in-cheek) world!"

Over here, it seems many break-ins are done when either the house is empty and these thiefs are just looking for a quick steel. Rarely have a weapon. The rapist type seem mostly to be armed with knives. I remeber one up in Maryland where the had a serial rapist. The stay at home Moms (who were being targeted) were prepared. One shot the ****** with a crossbow! Again, warms the heart eh?

Tough go in General today eh Rind?

I cant begin to imagine what she must be going through, I hope she continues to be ok and I hope the police bother to try and catch him!

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

I just hope they manage to find them and put them away. Its awful this picking on a woman who's 88. I hope shes ok mr d.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

mrd i,m speechless, and sickened hope they catch the bast*** soon, only thing i fear is if its a smackhead or summat similar they will probably give the turd rehab or something utterly stupid,i hope not.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Hope she's feeling a bit better now. My mum's 88 and lives with us and we still worry about what might happen to her while we're out at work during the day.

Let's be honest though, we're all wishing terrible punishments on this piece of scum, but it won't happen. If he's caught he'll get a community service order or maybe a light prison sentence (with early release, of course). Perhaps, Greg Pope would like to come on here and explain why his government are so weak and spineless on the law and order issue?...but don't hold your breath!

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Hope your fiancee's gran is ok under the circumstances & hope they get this evil scumbag & serve him some proper justice:mad: Mr D.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

What a truly awful thing to happen to your fiance's gran. The fact that she has been targeted 4 times this year probably mean that your suspicions are correct MrD. I hope they catch the git who did this, but I worry about the pathetic punishments that these people receive. :mad:

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

The one thing the perps hate is the thought that their potential victim might be armed. Countless crimes are prevented every year because people defend themselves in a variety of ways. I take to heart the advice of Annie Oakley, who thought all women should sleep with a loaded gun next to their bed. I carry concealed, too. Never leave home without my Mr. Sparky.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Thanks again for you warm comments.:)

She is still a bit shook up, but getting over the ordeal the best she can.

Its on the front page of the telegraph today.

Will hopefully make others awaire of the possible threat and to be a bit more vigalent, especially if you are elderley and alone.

Hopefully the DNA results will be done soon and the scum can be aprehended, but we all know that the punishment will be mild.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Hi there i hope you catch the scum bag and call the police and if they do get him they want to cut is hands off then he would not do it again and i think thats if you do the DNA you will catch him .

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

its damm disgusting is this we really arn't safe in our own homes with these scumbags lurking......do give nan all our best wishes for a speedy recovery ...god bless her .
