its a messed up world
So granted I don't know the ins n outs but on the face of it this all seems very wrong!?

Firstly robber quoted as: "would put a smile on anybody's face". I'm guessing those being robbed didnt provide this quote to the papers.

Someone has been arrested for stopping the armed robber Sad

Caterham, I'm not sure that any of us know what you're referring to? Question The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

Side effects of doing 500 odd miles to the gallon. Whistle You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I'm guessing he's talking about this incident:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-40671069

A robber died after being restrained by members of the public. Seems perfectly ordinary to me that the police would investigate a death regardless of who it was.

That'll be the one.

I'm inclined to think the armed robber should be shoved into the gutter and left to rot rather than waste money on an enquiry.

I can actually see the day when mob rule is the accepted norm in the UK. Not a society I'd like to live in and not one I'd wish for the younger members of my family living there.

I don't think caterhams views are necessarily those of the generally well mannered, considerate, fair and intelligent majority over here Riverboy. We think it only right that every death receives an enquiry.

I'm well mannered, tolerant, considerate and fair and I have absolutely no problem with armed robbers being apprehended by the general, law-abiding majority. If the armed robber winds up dead, hard luck.

Investigate yes, criminalise no...but unfortunately people don't see that this a society being incrementally made on many levels, often stemming from people thinking their opinion is better than others freedoms to do what they please

Anyone remember can't do the time, don't do the crime? Mike

It is called progress and it is for the liberally minded that have control these days.
