Re: 78 Year old Pensioner Arrested for killing burglar
Well, if he was a pensioner, then he would have worried about being overpowered by one man, let alone two.

Of course he should not be charged with murder, or anything, for that matter. Everybody should be able to use whatever force necessary to defend their homes in an intruder situation. If that was made clear, maybe there would be fewer burglaries.

One of the burglars came off worse than what they tried to do to that old man when they were threatening him with a screw driver. I have no sympathy for the dead *******.
That's right, Mick. You often only get one chance to use force against burglars, and he took it. Well done him.
