A 78-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a suspected burglar was stabbed and later died.
Police were called to a house in Hither Green, southeast London, at 12.45am to reports of a break-in in progress. The occupant had found two males inside his home. There were initial reports the homeowner was forced into the kitchen by one of the suspects armed with a screwdriver while the other went upstairs. Police said that, during a struggle, a 38-year-old man found inside the property sustained a stab injury to his upper body. He was discovered collapsed nearby and taken to hospital but died soon after 3.30am. Police initially arrested the 78-year-old on suspicion of grievous bodily harm but they have since rearrested him on suspicion of murder. View Quote |

I guess they’ll be banning screw drivers next.
I don’t even know what to say, are you suppose to curl up in a ball and die if someone breaks into your house trying to kill you? Are there no self defense laws in England-land? |

Apparently the queens subjects aren't allowed to defend themselves? Because that's not murder.

Totally amazing. A country with such a brutal history of killing across the world just to plant their flag won't even let it's own citizens defend their life. Those fuckers should pack up their shit and move. Again.

That's how it works in the UK:
1) You get arrested 2) You get taken to the police station 3) You are advised of your rights 4) You get questioned at the police station 5) After being questioned you are either charged with a crime or released Arrested is not the same as being charged with murder. Same happens in many places here in the States: you are arrested and questioned, and a determination is made: was the homicide justified or not? |

That used to be self-defense. It's probably a hate crime. Some recent arrival simply trying to make a living, killed by a nationalist who voted for brexit.

Holy fuck that country has gone straight past the PC gutter and into the insane assylum.
I will never go back there as long as I live. |

View Quote As self defense goes (or rather how it's been explained to me) it's basically the story in this thread but instead of the homeowner walking free, he would've caught a murder charge because he out-armed the invaders (because its unfair for the criminal or some shit). If he had used a bat though he probably would've walked away.....maybe....if he survived |

Buddy of mine and I were playing gold and a Brit joined us on the back nine. Topic of "squatting" came up and my friend explained how he would handle the situation if he came home from vacation to find someone "living" in his home
Brit was so startled and shaken that be left the course. |

Self defense and defense of others is no crime but when it becomes one what’s the incentive to remain lawful?
I can easily see where a gov could consider SD and DOO to infringe on their power. |

Tyranny is alive and well, and also very well armed in the UK.

In before there are pictures of the old man's kitchen knife block posted on Twitter being called an arsenal.

Wait..it said he was arrested, released and then rearrested again for murder.
Something isn't passing the stink test here. What did they learn after the initial arrest? |

View Quote View Quote In the UK, if there is a murder, it is only reported if there is also a conviction or if someone is charged for the crime. If it is a crime where no one was charged (could not find the guy who did the killing or dont know who it is) then I dont think it is added to their stats. I read this in a long article written by some kind of lawyer, not sure if it is true or not. Some of our UK people can chime in. |
