Would you have done the same?
Friday, January 8th, 2010We all remember Tony Martin but what about Munir Hussain, a respectable married businessman with children.
A burglar enters his house. Mr Hussain catches the burglar and with the help of his son overpowers him hitting him on the head with a cricket bat.
Result. The burglar walks free and Mr Hussain is now in jail sentenced to two and a half years in jail.
The current law allows householder to respond to a burglar with “reasonable force”. This should be immediately changed to allow householders to defend their homes and families unless they have responded in a “grossly disproportionate” manner.
It should be the burglar in jail not Mr Hussain, and this is exactly the sort of law that is rife for a binding referendum, which happens in California.
