So... if I read Ned's recent comments on the board

....liberals are allowing criminals to run rampant and liberals stabbed our troops in the back in Vietnam and are doing so again.

That's only a Jew short of Hitler's election manifesto.

Put an end to popups!

quote:
A skip is also a name for a large receptacle for rubbish, but, unlike a dumpster, is completely open-topped, and is used primarily for construction debris, such as from a building's demolition or renovation. Skips are emptied by covering the skip, then transporting it to a rubbish tip (landfill) for emptying.


They are also useful for setting fire to, and stealing stuff that other people have thrown into them.

I saw a great picture of two of these yobs in the Metro today but I cant track it down. Would have been perfect for chavscum

Actually, the best hit man weapon around is a competition grade single shot pellet pistol, loaded with a bronze .177 hunting dart. Extremely accurate (< 1 inch shot group at 50 ft) within 50 ft, relatively quiet, easy to silence, the dart is long enough and hard enough to guarantee one shot one kill penetration of the skull within 50 feet, no ballistics, no ID check to purchase one, no forensics for GSR, relatively cheap and widely available.

Actually, in a few states, the law allows you to take out the trespassers/invading pillagers. You are not required to interview them first to determine their degree of peacefulness.

Sounds like you got the trend right?

But this is a woman defending her property against more than one man who had already vandalized her son's car under circumstances where she had called the police before and they had not responded. What in England could she have legally done to protect herself and her property from these vandals?

No, and nor did the court. Had she been hitting them in the head, she certainly wouldn't be out of prison now.

Just out of curiosity what would have happened if she had "shot" them with a camera allowing the coppers an easy nab?

So what you're saying is, the court made the right decision second time round?

Yep. She's still very definitely guilty, but a reduced term was appropriate.

The miscreants would have an Anti-social behaviour order slapped on them. She'd hose down her car. The world would continue turning.

In the Nediverse she would have been within her rights to shoot them all and any bystanders hit would have been justifiable collateral damage

Well? They are able to trash her property and she can't do anything about it... seems along the same line of logic... IMO
