The Tony Martin case was heavily publised as he was the victim of numerous robberies and defending his property. I think he got a raw deal. If the thieving scumbags continue to get preferentual treatment to the victim they are robbing,then the world has gone mad.
As said before ,its all highly emotive,but I dread the day should we become like the US and be allowed to use guns to defend ourselves.There are too many guns already in the wrong hands.
I come from a generation when the death penalty was in force, and I rue the day it was done away with. I also know I am in a minority with my opinion,but I really believe in an eye for an eye.I also believe it was a good deterrent,and nobody will change my mind on that.

If he was face to face with the burgular and felt in danger of his life, Then yes he can shoot him but not when the fella was running away, Nobody should be allowed the right to be judge and jury and take a man's life no matter what the crime, Thats what we have laws for, I know a lot of them are not fair but we have to follow them or face the punishment.
