British Court Terrorizes Law Abiding Citizen (Worse Than Al-Qaeda Would, Probably)
A British court, clearly fascist and anti-freedom, has kept a harmless elderly man in jail because he is a threat to burglars.
So the guy who shot two home-invaders in the middle of the night is kept in jail because he defended his property from criminal terrorists who selected him because he was an old man who lived alone and now the British court won't release him? ...and yet the folks who attacked and criminally terrorized the old man were released in 2001. All disarmed law-abiding Brits should pay attention to this case. The law-abiding British citizen doesn't mean jack to the British government anymore. Brits are criminal-fodder (the new type of cannon fodder) and criminal terrorists have just been given the green light to rob the elderly at will because then the British terrorist courts will put the elderly in jail instead of the criminal! British cowards! How could you possibly allow this happen? Since the rest of Europe is ten times more afraid of the ideals and heroism the old man who the corrupt British court incarcerated for defending his property possesses, no wonder Europe is weak in the knees in the war on terrorism and cowardly in response to Saddam. The only folks Europe declares war on is the law-abiding--especially the elderly. JK |

I think it is time for Amnesty International to step in and rescue this elderly man from British government terrorism. This is the type of thing that is supposed to happen in 4th world countries, not Britain. I wonder if some corrupt British government communist-socialist wants the elderly guy in jail so he can die there and then his property can then be stolen.
Yep, sounds like an Amnesty International case to me. Anyone know if the guy who defended his property and is now in prison for exercising his right to be alive is Jewish? That would also feed into what is currently happening in Europe too. JK |

I believe there has been a lot of controversy about this case in the UK over the last couple of years.
The way British law works is that it is very difficult to get time off your prison sentence if you refuse to admit your guilt for a crime of which you have been found guilty. This is why Tony Martin has not been released on parole : he maintains that he did nothing wrong and the law disagrees. |

JK, most people think its disgusting that the guy is kept in jail. I for one think that if someone enters your home illegally you should have the right to kill that person. After all, how do you know his/her intentions? should I wait to be killed or see my wife/children raped and murdered before I slot the cnut? I dont think so.
A while backa guy was locked up for 5 years because he stabbed a burglar to death. Anyone breaks into my house is going to get killed. I'd rather do 5 years for manslaughter than get murdered or see my femfolk raped. SO THERE! |

It is sick and shameful, that is what it is. All brits should be ashamed because of this and I am calling you all cowards for even allowing that old man to be forced to go to jail. Only a cowardly commie sends old harmless men to jail. But the commies had plans for him. "Let's send his old ass to jail for defending his home", the Brit commies say. "That will teach him." (communist reeducation center for the elderly who think they are still free in Britain.) JK |

In all honesty I want to find something truly irrational in JK's post - all this talk of British Government Terrorism, pshaw!

But it's blindingly obvious to me that this particular guy shouldn't be in jail. If you're going to break into someone's home anything that happens to you is your own damn fault. That "thread to burglars" comment from the parole board makes me want to spit! ![]() David |

In the UK, you may only use reasonable force, regardless of whether the person was trepassing or stealing or whatever.
In this particular case, the burglar was shot in the back. This made it very hard for the defence to argue that Martin feared for his life and the level of force used was justified. |

If you let a bunch of commie bullies have their way with old people and no one says anything about it, what good is thinking you have a right to defend your property while you are safe at home? A population that refuses to defend its elderly is a spineless population. JK |

Looking at it from the other side.
Does anybody else remeber the case of a young Brit staggering home drunk one night in the US (Florida??). He made the mistake of trying to go into the wrong house. The owner, instead of pausing to find out what was going on, opened the door and shot him dead on his doorstep. The shooter was not charged (or maybe acquitted) because the poor sod was technically trespassing. |

Drooper is right - the law is concerned with "reasonable force" and considers that shooting someone in the back as they are running away, unarmed, is not reasonable force.
Not that I expect you to get that point at all. Your military doesn't appear to be able to differentiate between who to shoot and who not to shoot, so the finer points of this case are most likely a mystery to you. |

There are so many factual errors in this childish rant (not to mention the link he posted) I have given up counting them....

If someone forces their way into your home, your sovereign territory, you can gun them down and feed them to pit bulls--it is your home! It is your home. Is some commie bureaucrat who lives in a guarded, gated community with 24/7 professional protection going to give a damn about you? Hell no. You have to make the courts responsive to you, not the criminal. In the United States if some elderly person gets robbed and people see it happen, a mob of people descend upon the criminals and kick the **** out of them. If they have weapons the police gun them down in a flurry of bullets (or the citizens--depends who gets there first). The point is that stealing from people, especially old people who don't have much as it is and can't earn like they could when they were young, is terrorism, and I think it is time for the terrorists to get the justice they deserve instead of the old people who are victims of crime. The old man is not a criminal and committed no crime. He is probably a World War II hero and that is why they are terrorizing him. He is the last of the real British males. JK |

The old man didn't see them in the dark trying to run away. Since that is the case, I wouldn't even care if the old man shot them point blank range in the back of the head with a 12 gauge shotgun. They should not have been in his house in the middle of the night. But no matter what you say Lilly, the old man is still in jail and it is shameful because cowardly Brits allowed it to happen. JK |

No wonder British males are so afraid of Saddam and his weaklings. It is easier to bully British elderly.

Attack me for saying the truth, coward. Admit what I say is true. You are a typical leftist because you cower while I stand proudly. You make idiotic leftist comments like "have you had your medication", while at the same time you remain idle while your elderly and law-abiding are led away in shackles so they can be terrorized by the self-hating European state socialist system. Attack the messenger--it is all you cowardly brits can do. Saddam and Al Qaeda send in liters of Ricin into your country and you are all ready to surrender. Cowards. JK |

Not debating the issue at hand makes one appear as pointless as JK, and as incapable of rebuttal and debate, which is nice if you're just into flaming, but not productive, or condusive to the further understanding of ideas.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/718129.stm JK - the man was known to have a history of offences with firearms; the firearm he used was illegal; he shot a 16year old in the back; he was of a vigilante mindset. All of the above are reasons why I do not believe Tony Martin to be a helpless old man. And the fact remains that in order to be eligible for parole, you need to express remorse at your behaviour and be judged unlikely to reoffend. Given that Mr Martin refuses to do so, I fail to see how parole can be granted. On another note, I find it utterly repellent and disgusting that one of the burglars is attempting to sue Mr Martin. Lets hope that the judge in that case sees some common sense. |

That commies thing is just JK's way, hon
![]() JK - please explain the link between supporting this man's application for parole and wanting to bomb Sadaam. Thanks Edited to add: Also, in the same vein, explain how reluctance to bomb Iraq without any evidence of WMD/Links to Osama/Whatever the excuse is this week is linked to shackling the British pensioner. (btw, we don't consider 55 to be elderly; are you from California?) |
