Strike one for the good guys. I didn't like the last sentence though.
They PROBABLY won't be charged (the couple). How could they even bring up the subject of the couple maybe being at fault? These dudes smashed through the front door and were inside the home and it ended up on the front lawn, and the dude got killed with his own weapon, the married couple didn't even have a gun so kudo's to them I say and one less riff raff to deal with.

"...Investigators say the couple were just defending their family and probably won't be charged."

Thank God they live in America! Had they been on British soil, things would have gone a lot differently at the end of the confrontation. They would have been arrested and charged with murder and with intent to inflict bodily harm...and they would have lost, gone to jail and payed a staggeringly large award to the two gentlemen who broke into their home and assaulted them! You see, in England, only the government has the right to use force; they have a monopoly on its use and Heaven help anyone who tries to defend himself or another. That's why crime in England is soaring while crime on the rest of the Continent and in America, is going down. God save the Queen! She ain't no human bean.

Obviously the husband didn't realize that he was endangering himself by picking up that evil gun. He should have dropped it and called the police. Who the hell does he think he is protecting himself and his wife like that? Stupid redneck Amerikan.

Here's a challenge; show me an example of this. Show me an example of someone who killed in self defense and was convicted in Britain. Oh, and killing someone after the situation is under control is no longer self defense.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. I'd thought you liberal RHP-know nothings would have figured out long ago that I don't make this stuff up:

I'd hope that people of every political persuasion would agree that it's reasonable force in self-defence.

It would behoove them to do so unless they like the idea of being killed themselves. Myself, I have to admit liberal leanings but not when it comes to defending my household and wife and children. I'm sorry if that upsets anyone but you can take that one to the bank. If that makes me a frothing at the mouth right winger so be it. If some SOB breaks down MY door and comes in swinging, I have no compunction but to fight back. My own parents got attacked that way and if I had been there I maybe could have made a difference but I was 3000 miles away at the time. They killed my dad in that robbery. You bet your boopie I would fight back.

Welcome aboard!

Edit: I replied in a smart-ass way before you edited that part in about the robbery. Sorry about your dad. That's awful.

Yeah, well don't take that to mean I want more bushconomics for the next 4 years. 4 buck gas is enough.

I heard about the farmer protecting his house after repeated breakins.
That for sure wouldn't happen here, that is indeed liberalism gone wild.
Lets see, a guy comes up to me with a gun, and all I can use to defend myself is a briefcase, Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, don't forget about your keys, that is a devastating weapon. I guess that makes it safe for the criminals in the UK, eh, poor guys, can't have the frothing at the mouth right wingers protecting themselves from an honorable profession.
Must make it easy for the professional hitmen...

I'm sorry for your loss, sonhouse. :'(

I fantasize about tripping thugs and then stomping on their heads till they go splat all over the concrete for a reason. I hate that trash.

Evidently, that's not the case in Britain.
