Home & self defense in England

[browningautorifle]

Two armed (screwdriver) intruders break into a home, homeowner wounds one who later dies. The home owner is up for a murder charge.

That's exactly the same as it would be here in Canada.

Shame.
A pawn shop owner killed an armed robber near me just the other day. Great guy, family ran business. The rumor mill in the pawn shop circles says it was sort of a "death by cop" type situation. Anyway, no charges at all for this fellow.

Shame.

It is, they have to justify their existence by charging SOMEONE... Mind, a policeman from my past explained that then crown examines it and expunges you of wrongdoing...but they HAVE to do it that way for society.
