The CPS have decided not to press charges against Peter Flanagan who stabbed to death one of the machete wielding burglars who broke into his home last month, what a nightmare this must have been for him, its about time you can protect yourself in your own home without fear of being arrested and/or prosecuted for fighting back against these lowlife
 
thing is though wallop,he was arrested,only now have the C.P.S. decided no charges. i agree completely wi the findings, but he should never have been held in the first place.;)

The bloke was arrested because he told the police he had stabbed the man.. arrest and questioning has to be the right procedure.. nobody wants to end up with situations were a person can simply use the excuse that someone is in thier home and so they have the right to kill them.. I'ts not as clear cut as this sometimes.

You are right, Mancie. If someone finds a burglar in their house, then of course they should be able to deal with it in whatever way is deemed necessary (including assault and even killing) if that is shown to be a reasonable response to the situation.

But what about the situation where the burglar holds up his hands and makes it clear he will leave the house peacefully without further ado. Are we saying the householder has carte blanche to treat the burglar as he likes, including killing him in cold blood, because he knows the law will exonerate him?

I don't think so!

Sounds fair enough to me, he should not be there. There is no justice handed out by the courts unless you think a few hours community service is good enough.

Definitely...If someone appears on my property without my say so, or with criminal intentions, well it is up to me, how I want to remove them. It is all about the situation, and I have no fear of inflicting justice:uzi:
 
While I don't agree with guns, there is a fair point to be made. If somebody breaks into my home, I will defend it with whatever I can grab.
If you invade somebody's home, you should lose all rights.
But of course thanks to the bleeding hearts and The European Human Rights, a intruder has more than me.
Beggars belief really, glad to see Mr Flanagan has no case to answer to.

Seems like a good idea to me, if anybody breaks into somebodies home then all bets are off, they shouldn't have been there in the first place
 
Damn sure the thought of a possible prosecution wouldn't stop me from doing what I thought needed doing if some armed scumbag lowlife violated the sanctity of my home or threatened my family.

As to calling Plod, yeah right ! When I'd finished ..... probably !
 
These two scumbags went into a shop ARMED with guns,and came off second best thats their hard luck .And to compound it all the guy they tried to rob was seventy two serves them right in my opinion , picked on the wrong mon this time.

Spot on john, its about time people of this country were able to stand up to the scumbags without fear of retribution from the law which is supposed to protect the law abiding amongst us, but seems to be favouring the criminals.Its also about time the do-gooders woke up and smelt the coffee.
 
Mmmm. Trial by forum. Who needs all the evidence eh.
Of all the shops in the world to rob, they pick a florist.
Albeit a florist owned by a jamaican. Mmmmm, wonder if they were after money or something herbal.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
