That was pretty entertaining I bet he was wondering what hit him

Good story.. Too many rights and protection for offenders today and not enough backing for the victims.

Absolutely.

I am firmly of the opinion that if someone comes into your home like this then you should be able to do whatever you like to stop them (including beating them to death). Unfortunately the law protects those who themselves break the law in the worst possible manner.

Good news!

POW!
RIGHT IN THE KISSER!

I look forward to a few years time reading about the pensioner again after reading this:

...we are pleased he won't be troubling us for a few years," he added.

would be better if he'd killed him

Will Lucky · 1 Jul 2009 at 10:09

Any bets on him being done for assault? I wouldn't be surprised if it happened :rolleyes:

Haha winner, well done chap

stupid idiot who broke into there home got what he deseved, seems there is an ounce of common sense left in the world, lets hope that continues.

What kind of pathetic little **** can't handle a 72 year old pensioner, despite being armed with a knife? :confused:

He got what was coming to him, and I hope he gets more in prison.

Sure, I've got £5 that says he won't be done for assault.

I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

This happened last year and the case is now closed. He wasn't done for assault, and the ****** who broke into his house has been jailed. Email in trust; I look forward to receiving £5.

*Grins*

Got to say the attacker doesn't look like typical scum. :confused:

Steve2000 · 1 Jul 2009 at 10:42

Why on earth would you throw a knife at someone?

Good on the bloke though for lifting his lips.
