If I were on the jury i'd side with the old man, protecting his family against the scum of society.
Lock the little brats up and throw away the key! Couldnt care less if one of them got a few jabs with letter opener, shoulda stuck him a few more times to make sure he wont do it again! If they get away with it, they wont learn and will probably go on to do it again and possibly kill someone in the process.

If my son was being kicked to **** by 5 chavs, I would have stabbed them all and if an axe or chainsaw was handy I would have used that instead.

Or being in such a fluster you completely forgot it was in your hand? A jury wouldn't convict on that basis in a million years.

With respect, I spent 2 months on a CID course in 2001. I don't ever remember being taught anything about 'pre-mediated self-defence'.
This case has little or nothing to do with the son.
The man was attacked by a violent gang of people. He most probably was thinking his life was in danger. Thus killing all of the attackers would have been warranted and legal.
Take notice of the *attackers*, as if they were running away it would not be warranted.
Maybe read through your notes again?
To be honest if he had a gun and shot all of them it would be exactly the same im my opinion.

I'd argue that's pre-meditating a GBH.
Because there's no differentiation, it's all just self defence if it's reasonable.
no court in this land will accept stabbing someone as reasonable for vandalising a van.
More on topic, going back into the house and getting the knife is bad news. He will go down for that, unfortunately
I know that, it was just the first example that sprang to mind...wasn't saying that stabbing somebody was reasonable force for stopping vandalism!!!
Then someone could argue that they only keep it to frighten attackers, or to defend from other people who are armed.
A stupid argument but it's what nearly all who do so will argue with.
Personally I do agree with being able to arm yourself to defend from attackers, but that's just me.
In New Labours Britain i think it's a certainty that this guy is going to jail.
Here is an similar incident that happened where i live.
