I head about this case some years ago at the firing range. I thought it was just more gun lovers taking the piss out of England because of their atrocious, but as it seems the UK is not only anti-gun but anti- self defense. What a fucking joke of country were THIEVING little cunts are the victims, and the victims of their crimes are the bad guys.
1:13 - 1:16! It was a simple burglary that went tragically wrong? He said that as if the criminal scum who invaded his home were actually allowed to steel his property and possibly subject him to violence. God this country has lost it's balls it really has.
I live in the next county over from this farmer and policing is VERY slow. People are burgled, beaten up and sometimes murdered and the police wait until the burglars leave until they come round. After this people have learnt to say over the phone 'dont worry I've shot him' for the police to quickly arrive. Not to arrest the burglar but on the idea that you could have shot someone. Utter nonsense
Fair play to Tony Martin these 3 scumbags got what they deserved in my opinion. If this happened in the USA the police wouldnt bat an eyelid, and the innocent guy who had been burgled 3 times before by the same group of people certainly would not have been sent to jail,
Britain has been hijacked by a liberal elite who rule this country and deny people the right to protect themselves from a growing, lawless underclass.
Personally, I believe one should be allowed to do whatever is needed to incapacitate a burglar, including kill if it is necessary (i.e the burglars are armed). However, even if it wasn't necessary to kill them, I believe there should be no charges pressed for someone killing a burglar, as long as it can be proven that they were not welcome into the house (which is easy). Burglars should also have any and all rights while on the property voided.
I live in the US. In my state, and others, if someone enters your home, you can kill them. You can shoot them because we can own guns. In other states the burgler doesn't even have to enter your home, just be on your property. There was news about a man shooting a couple thieves coming out of the basement of a neighbor, and it was legal. It doesn't stop crime, but at least people can defend themselves.
Burglars should be considered outlaws during the course of their crime. Ie put outside the protection of the law. Fair game - if you will.
The law as it stands gives householders the right to use `reasonable force.` That is vague. Lets put the matter beyond dispute. Making burglars outlaws would do just that. Burgle a house, and you get what`s coming - Hell, if Hell it must be.
Someone I once knew woke to find burglars in his house (this is in the UK)-one ran off and he caught and kicked the shit out of the other one, I mean really kicked the shit outta him. The police came, and an officer pulled him aside in private and said "you saw light glinting off something that you thought was a knife didnt you? You incapacitated him and then found that it was the bracelet of a silver watch" he said erm yeah....reasonable force no charges-seems the police agree
@bigpmc Yeah that's a little something called selective enforcement and it all depends on which policeman you deal with and their own personal views + a little bit of whether you come across as someone they like or not.
I totally agree with mr Martin's actions-I would do the same, and it pleases me that he has never shown remorse-why should he? Bottom line-if they weren't trying to steal from him they wouldnt have been shot-end of story
Its only limp wristed liberals that support his murder charge-the victim wasnt a lovely lad-he was a fucking thief who deserved what he got and no doubt would have gone on to cost the country thousands to keep him locked up over the years
@lajeclow111 They were bullying cowards picking on what they thought was a defenceless man who lived on his own (like they'd done so many times before with Mr Martin). I doubt they were really interested in stealing anything of worth.
@ad8369 Many young thugs do such things, this guy had had the same thing done to him time & again - not because he had anything worth taking but more because they thought he was just another frail old guy they could bully & threaten - guess they didn't recon on him having his 'great equalizer.'
The British Injustice system is so moronic they think that an ordinary citizen with absolutely zero experience of violence (nether seeing nor being involved in it) can then judge, in the blind panic of fear, oh..let's only use REASONABLE force to defend myself. You will instinctively do anything and everything you can if someone invades the peace of your home where you are minding your own business and harming no-one. British judges are clever people but they lack wisdom and good judgement.
@jaquie321 Yes looking at it in this simple one dimensional fashion of one of those who support gun laws – yes they always mean well but, in the end, they only help the tyrants kill more people in the long run. Learn your history and why the 2nd amendment was created in the first place. Mainly try and comprehend the line "..being necessary to the security of a FREE STATE, the right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The way Tony Martin was treated by the British Criminal Justice system was the final straw for me. Plod's a waste of space. The victim is blamed. I flew the UK coop never to return.
@AnubisEvalyna Ahhh at last… someone talking some sense again. I think it went 'wrong' for the burglars though & that's what the title means. But I agree with you on some of the pathetic anti self defence comments on here. They're all from people who've never had to stand up to such threatening things happening to them so most of them aren't talking from experience and if any of them are then they probably did cower away in their closets like the pathetic cowering helpless sheep that they are.
@AnubisEvalyna That's because criminals are cowards and they only understand one thing - violence. You're only real defence against criminals (including the tyrants who try to get into government that the 2nd amendment was originally designed for) is not a police man who is at least 20 minutes away but equal or greater violence to what they have. Those who don't understand this are just easy pickings for criminals.
@realinterrobang Hahahaha. You’re the authoritarian supporter and you don’t even realise it. If you think the state should rule your life then you are an authoritarian supporter. Those who support gun laws and anti self defence measures are authoritarian supporters. Get your definitions right before you comment again… A dictionary might help!
Tont martin is a national treasure and if your reading this Tony, your very welcome to stay with me and my family if you visit Edinburgh! FUCKING GYPOS ARE SCUM
There are lines you have to draw though. If you are genuinely being burgled then by all means i see no problem with shooting the intruders but say if it was a young 6 yeard old who had accidentally wondered onto you're property and didn't realize what he was doing. But these people he shot were scumbags though anyway and its a shame he didn't finish off all of them. HIs biggest mistake was notifying the police and he should of just disposed of the body
he should of just blasted them both and buried them and not phoned the police. if i had to defend my life i would go to all lengths to ensure i protected my freedom. the government don't care if you are defending ur life they just want to use you for a legal case.
This country is a disgrace! It really pisses me off the way the press call Tony Martin a recusive eccentric. To make people think he is some kind of a freak or weirdo. No one has the right to steal or damage his property like that, no matter what his house looks like.
Unbelivable that because he protected his property he got his gun license taken away! Kings Lynn police are pretty useless and uncaring it seems from the experinces friends of mine have had in dealing with them.
A couple of years ago two men invaded my elderly parents home at 2am in the morning. Fortunately my mother managed to call police before they go into the house but when they got in they attacked my parents. My 75 year old mom managed to get a fire poker and beat the hell out of one of the guys causing him to suffer a fractured skull while the other one beat my father to the floor. The police quickly arrived and arrested the two guys. They got five years in prison for that.
@crutley2 No disrespect to your country, some parts of the US are the same but do feel there is a failed legal system when a criminals rights are above a victims in this case?
@crutley2 True enough! I'm so glad I live in the Great Republic of Texas. This wouldn't have even been an issue here. Tony would have gotten a medal instead of prison time.
@AirstripBum Most people now think you have mental health problems if you think this way in the UK. Such outbursts would get you strange looks as if there is something wrong with you.
@crutley2 Perhaps you should start something like we have here in Texas called the Lone Star Citizens Defense League and organize the lobbying effort to get your rights back. It's at wwwdotlonestarcdldotorg. We lost our rights 140 years ago after the Civil War. I never got that name. It wasn't very "civil". Anyway, just a suggestion. It was started by a guy in West Texas in May of last year and we've made amazing headway despite being so new on the scene. Yup! Something is wrong with me! LOL
@AirstripBum Not worth it. The UK is already overrun with Zombies. Except these ones are still alive and they all hate taking personal responsibility for their own self defence. They'd rather keep themselves helpless and disarmed so they can be easy pickings the next time the government goes tyrannical.
@celticlofts If it were up to me, they would have gotten life and thrown into the darkest pit - and I'd have thrown away the key. It makes me ill they only received five years. Violent criminals should never, ever be released. In fact, if it were up to me, I'd skip handing out prison sentences altogether and just toss them into the lava of an erupting volcano.
Mr. Martin should have been given a medal for shooting this disgusting thieving gypsy filth its unfortunate the second gypsy burglar was not killed too and society would not have to support these thieving gypsy parasites!
@xdaxda1 Does it make a difference if they were gypsies or not? I dont care who you are, if you come into my home with the intention of harming me im going to shoot you.
Really interesting case and video - thanks for posting - shame about the editing - i.e. the shakey close-up of Martin with a sythe - "AH, QUICK, HE'S THE GRIM REAPER!" Media organisations can be so bullshitty.

A former boss of mine were I used to work during school vacation once stood face to face with burglars in his shop.
They were pointing machine guns at his head!
His son and me then relased their Rottweiler at the back of the store, the dog attacked the burglars and they went running, escaping in their vehicle.
The first thing my boss did was buying a gun, legally. It's loaded all the time.
