In Great Britain...

...a young man defended his home and family with a BB gun when a burglar broke into his house and attempted to steal his motorcycle. He shot the burglar when said burglar attacked him with an iron bar and brick. The burglar reported the matter to the police and ended up being arrested himself. The young man who defended himself was initially afraid he would be arrested and in formerly Great Britain that wouldn’t have surprised me but in this case he wasn’t. That he even had the fear shows just how fucked up things are in the UK but at least some cops in there still recognize legitimate self-defense. Damned surprising.

H/T to James.

But can the burglar still sue the victim??
