I wonder why ppl can’t manage the cognitive tension of a) of course someone shouldn’t be prosecuted for killing someone when threatened in their own home & b) it is still tragic that someone lost their life & that someone was still worthy of love despite being in the wrong?https://twitter.com/juliahb1/status/984385119040540672 …

Of course it’s tragic-a burglar deserves prison not death. Also tragic that the pensioner who did it has to live with it through no fault of his own-I wouldn’t want to have killed someone, even lawfully in self-defence-would you? (Not saying I wouldn’t in that circumstance)
-
He didn't deserve prison. He'd been in & out since 2003, clearly it wasn't one for reforming. He continued to target the weak & elderly. He reaped what he sowed by the life he lead. He won't be doing it anymore. The pensioner could have died instead

If he hadnt broken in he would be alive. Its that simple.
-
Of course - but that doesn’t mean it follows that e deserves to die does it?
-
It means ‘if you work outside the law dont expect the law to protect you’. If he hadn’t broke in he wouldnt have been in the position he created.
-
I agree with all of that but I don’t think it means it isn’t basically sad that a person died.
-
Depends on the person. This one is no loss. People can sleep easy now without fear of him breaking in

It's the least tragic death I could think of. Buglar stabbed by desparate pensioner, defending his wife from 2 armed men. There are many saying he didn't deserve this but he deliberately targetted the weak. They just weren't weak enough in this case.
-
So of course there are many more tragic deaths. Of course he exclusively has himself to blame. But you know, we don’t have the death penalty & if we did it wouldn’t be for burglary - I’ve been burgled 4 times in my life. I’m glad I didn’t kill any of them.
-
What did that have to do with anything I said?

HIs death was actually self inflicted. It wasn't 'tragic', he's not a martyr, his death should not be glorified. he was at the very best, complete scum. He prayed on the most vulnerable in society and his family grief should not be imposed on the local community.

That's a particularly callous position. Do you not value all lives? Or is it that you think burglary should be a capital offence?

Do you value Hitler's life?

Godwin's law kicking in a bit early there!

What is that my darling?

The reason the pensioner was released without charge is down to the travellers custom of non cooperation with the police and are most likely hiding his accomplice ..otherwise the case would of been still ongoing
-
Bollocks know all cunt
-
the accomplice is the witness you daft bastard
-
So when they catch him the case will be back on then eh? Stop spouting shite.
-
Pensioner may be dead by then think before you type
-
Your making it up as you go. You have no idea how the law works but still stick to your idiotic statements as if you know Listen dumb dumb, no charges mean that. Not no accomplice. Opinion is not fact. One fact is: you are thick as pig shit.
-
The police conversed with the CPS then made the decision !
