attempted burglary? Landells rd

[20stonegnome]

Was sent out to the back garden about 10pm by the missus to investigate 'noises'.Confronted youth wearing white baseball cap hiding by the fence,after general shouting and bluster on my part he climbed into next doors garden then over their back gate to freedom in Crystal Palace Rd. Seems a rather tame tale but what pisses me off totally is the fact that he told me to calm down...........in my own garden ,the c**t.

It could have been.. Good for you for giving him what for.. the last line of your post really made me giggle!

In my place (not the UK)its bang bang bye bye for that yob, sorry to hear of that 20,

laws are too lax here

Here they get a harsh ticking off from their parents........

... if they're unlucky.

More'n likely the parents will blame the victims for looking rich, the police for accusing little Johnny wrongly, the witnesses for telling lies, and then make up a story that he couldn't have done it because he was home all night.

Ah yes those were the days. One bullet in the robber before he put one in you and then one in the ground so that when/if the cops turned up you could say you fired a warning shot.

Remind me why I don?t want to live in Jo?burg again.

Are you suggesting that we shouldn't be able to shoot people for trespassing? Your type make me wanna puke, I'm literally angry with rage just thinking about you bleeding-heart liberals! Broken Britain etc etc

[Brendan]

As someone who has experienced it firsthand DPF I am suggesting that bang, bang bye, bye big talk about it is all one thing but when it comes down to the fact it is a whole new world of unpleasantness and no amount of macho posturing makes it any easier to deal with.

[Huguenot]

Chuckle. I don't think we're quite thinking this through.

I think that some people are convinced that legalisation means the homeowners will have the guns and the burglars won't.

[Brendan]

That?s kinda what I?m saying. If you live in a country where you can?t carry a gun, you get to live in a country where the other buggers don?t have guns too.

Kind of like the one-man* one-vote thing. Sometimes I think I'd quite like to be the one man with the vote.

*person/adult human being etc etc
