He was lying in wait
To defenestrate.

Police, who received a 999 call, found him unconscious on the ground outside the smart Victorian appartment block in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester. I must agree here. Smart apartment.

Another reason the British people are a shadow of their former selves.

If the perp is thrown out of the window as a result of a tackle, the homeowner wouldn’t be at fault. (Oh yeah, this is the nanny state Britain, not the US).

In the UK, self defense has been outlawed. It doesn't look good for the homeowner. Here in the States, the Castle Doctrine would preclude that from happening, since you have no duty to retreat from your home before defending yourself.

Instead of defenestrated, he should have been penetrated.......

Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall,
Which more than made up for a lousy summer.

How in the world can they have an army when the citizens are neutered? The pool gets pretty shallow to chose from.

This is pitiful.
To: 1rudeboy
Maybe this was a “smart” address when it was built, but it looks rather seedy to me.

No, sorry. That’s the extent of my poetic talent! :-)

The perp was looking for valuable gems and artwork, I presume.

Greater Manchester Police I was getting concerned until I read that. Then the thought "Oh, in England" washed over me and the world looked like it should once more.

England has moved a lot farther toward socialist totalitarianism than we have, so I’m not surprised that the homeowner was arrested. They might just as well pass a law that allows all downtrodden, poor, victim, have-nots to take whatever they bloody-well please from property owners.

If the householder chases the intruders as they run off, and the burglar gets injured, the occupant could face charges. Now THERE'S logic for you?

Bringing us to shoot, shovel, and shut up.
After all, presumably no thief actually tells someone, “I’m off to go rob 1234 Oak Street Apt B today.”
