If the police shot an ISIS terrorist and then the terrorist family came and lay flowers at the scene, there would be outrage and there would be lynching if it was repeated.

I sort of think that's over the top though. I mean what this guy was doing was immoral and awful, but he was a petty thief / fraudster... Not a mass murderer or terrorist.

He was a person with a long string of convictions for preying on vulnerable people. Let's not paint him pink. You've got to be pretty hard faced to cheat and rob the vulnerable. And let's not forget he went into that home with a weapon.

I'm not "painting him pink", I said he was doing things that were immoral and awful, but they're still not on par with mass murder or terrorism. In my opinion obviously. I guess some people might think they are .

Oh it's only intent to murder and grevious bodily harm. I get it now.

I am bemused why some people feel a need to try to excuse someone who went into someone elses house with a weapon.

Weapon = intent. Let's not kid ourselves. That struggle in that kitchen was a struggle for survival.

It's not a jibe, it's a fact that people are constantly talking about "making excuses" when no excuses are being made. No one is trying to excuse anyone of anything.

I don't know why we are even arguing about this,it is intimidating to the people who have had to flee their home because of threats and flowers laid outside their home,the person to blame is dead by his own deeds really,so if his family want to lay flowers etc, fine just not where he scared and attacked two old age pensioners ,so much so one killed him,he lived by the sword,he died by the sword,take the flowers and lay them where he lived,no one then will bother removing them,

TBH LT I don't think that's appropriate to this thread or fair to the woman and family of the woman who died in the article.

This post is the nasty one of the thread and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Oh well I'm sorry for the misunderstanding but not sorry for disapproving at the mocking of someone's bereavement and elderly mother.

There are some idiotic merges going on lately - a thread about Corbyn meeting with a dodgy group got lumped in with the antisemitism thread, and an unrelated gypsy funeral is now in here? whhyyyyyy

The moral of this all is that when a burglar breaks in, do everything he says, offer no resistance, he is entitled to anything he wants, even carnal relations with anyone in your household.

Also, keep you trap shut and don't grass to the police

Burglary is a lawful occupation and was decriminalised by the Tony Martin case, and they are entitled to anything they want.

Also remember police advice is always offer no resistance, do not take people on.

Self defence is never a good idea, another moral of recent events in Hither Green

But the police always advise against being a have-a-go-hero

Remember this pensioner was originally arrested for murder

The police also seem to be on the side of the dead burglar by requesting the residents not to interfere with the shrine, because such interference is intimidating.

We have a topsy turvy world
