They had a trial over this? Absurd and immoral.

Th UK is a sick, sick country.
You cannot defend yourself either in your home or from their crazy Libel laws.
London is a “Turd World” toilet, in my last unpleasant visit there.

when the home invader was only armed with brass knuckles. I invite any prosecutor to allow me to strike them just once in the face while "only armed with brass knuckles". Their successor may decide whether to charge me with reckless homicide or voluntary manslaughter.

Don’t bring brass knuckles to a sword fight...

It would seem the UK laws exist to protect the criminals.

"Dont bring brass knuckles to a sword fight..." The weapons designers of WWI prepared one for either contingency :-)

Mr. Fullard was expected to have his own brass knuckles so he could fight fair! It would be funny as a movie plot but in real life it is insane.

They had a trial over this? Absurd and immoral. Agreed... but at least this time, the person who stood his ground was acquitted. I've gotta say, that was not what I expected to read.

It was two young thugs against one middle-aged homeowner. A sword made the fight barely equal. This is the most disgusting part:
Under British law the two home invaders were given a slap on the wrist. They received suspended sentences and 100 hours of community service work. Severs had to have his ear reattached.

The best part was AFTER the Samurai Delicatessen skit, when Chevy Chase on “Weekend Update” went off!!!
“Just moments ago a drug crazed and incoherent John Belushi injured character actor Buck Henry by wildly flailing a samurai sword” or some such.
Buck wore a bandage on his forehead for the rest of the show.

Nanny states want YOU to be dependent upon the government for everything, including domestic defense of ones own property.
If people can do things on their own, then what NEED is there for the government and what use are those who make up the government?

Tried to rape his wife? He’s lucky the guy only cut off his ear.

"The home invader had threatened to rape his wife and kill his teenage children." "Prosecutors said that it was disproportionate to attack the thug with a battlefield weapon when the home invader was only armed with brass knuckles."
The invaders (more than one), invaded his home... his HOME, threatened to RAPE his WIFE, and KILL his CHILDREN, and defending them with a ornamental sword is "over the top". This man that defended his family was charged with a crime, and tried in court like a criminal. I think I despise the UK criminal justice system more than I despise these thugs that attacked this mans family.

They had to hold a TRIAL?? A once great nation destroyed by the radical left. We can witness the results of disarming a people.

I am shocked ... SHOCKED that there are no references or gif's regarding the HIGHLANDER on this thread. I'd post but I'm html challenged.... I think the appropriate response to the intruder would be In the end ... THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.... before hacking the guys head clean off his torso, with a single swipe of the Cold Steel Katana.
