Agreed!

And what does that stupid bitch Shami have to say about it all...?

Quote
"Of course people facing intruders can use reasonable force to defend themselves.

‘But saying that “burglars leave their rights at the threshold” is a recipe for vigilante execution and mistaken killings of family members returning home after dark.’"

Well, we can only comment on the 'facts' as they have been presented... clearly our opinions may change if new 'evidence' emerges...
