Businessman jailed for attacking intruder - who goes free
A millionaire businessman has been jailed for attacking a man who held his family hostage in their own home - while the criminal went free.
No doubt resident bleeding hearts will be on their soapboxes applauding this cretinous fool of a judge, but in my book the bloke shouldnt have been anywhere near a courtroom, if you break into someones house you should face whatever the HOUSEHOLDER deems necessary, if that is to bash the granny out of you whilst you're trying to escape, tough.
taken from todays telegraph on line, this makes me sick

The court heard Hussain and his brother Tokeer, who both live in Desborough Road, chased intruder Walid Salem, leaving him with a permanent brain injury after he was hit with a cricket bat so hard that it broke into three pieces.
Salem was the only intruder caught after the incident on 3 September 2008, but his injuries meant he was not fit to plead after being charged with false imprisonment.
Salem was given a two-year supervision order at a court hearing in September this year.

That's funny Prick, on the Winter thread I didn't notice you saying, 'If they hadn't wrongly put the fireworks in the metal container they wouldn't have exploded and the firefighters wouldn't have died'.

what happened to being able to defend your property?

DFE: I think when two of you at least are whacking someone on the ground half way up the street you're no longer defending your property.

DFE: you said 'defend your property'. When you've got the criminal out of your place you're not on your property any longer. There were enough of them - why didn't they7 hold him till the police turned up?

DFE - the law says that you can use reasonable force to defend your property or prevent a crime. You clearly think that 'reasonable' is an unacceptable limitation. So if you ever drive up my street at 31mph, I'll pull you from your car and smash you to a vegetable (won't take long, I guess). Is that OK?

I find it ironic that some on here, who are quick to say that Martin Winter was guilty of manslaughter because he failed to follow the the law on firework storage to the letter, fail to extend the same principle to two guys who chased a burglar down the street and smashed a cricket bat to bits round his head, clearly in contravention of the legal principle of reasonableness in self-defence and at a point where they were no longer at risk and were not preventing the commission of a crime.
Double standards there, I think.
