Good topic Matt. Granted, the burglar shouldn't have been in the flat in the first place but I don't think he deserved to die.

This reminds me of the Tony Martin/Fred Barras case a few years back.

Totally agree with Bigus. If you are willing to break into someone elses house and take their stuff, and no doubt hurt the occupants if they get in your way or suprise you, then I'm affraid you get whats coming to you.

The problem for criminals is there is no fear in them commiting crimes. They know most people wont stand up to them, and even if they are caught the punishments are rediculously lenient most of the time. I know if I caught someone in my place they would get a serious battering. I would not take the chance that I didn't hit em hard enough and they could retaliate.

It was unfortunate that he died, but I don't feel sorry for him. They shouldn't have moved the body though. Still, not sure what anyone would do in that situation.

I believe in being allowed to defend your property and yourself, particularly if you're being attacked.

However, stamping on the guy's face and him being killed as a result of his injuries is sickening.

No real sympathy for any of them, except maybe the relatives.

The burglar certainly deserved a slap, but not to be beaten to death!

I think as we do not know the circumstances of burglary then its hard to comment on if too much force was used.

Chances are the scum that broke in when confronted turned into a caged animal that tried to escape. A certain level of force was required to either restrain or protect. In this instance I would have used as much force as I physically had in me to defend myself in MY property against anyone I came across, especially if my family were with me.

If that meant stamping, stabbing, shooting, battering, biting, maiming, killing then so be it.
The message should go out to all scum that intend to break into ANYONE's house that there is a very good chance that they could end up receiving one of the above (or all of the above).
The difference with the lads that killed the scumbag is they were more than likely tanked up on booze when they returned and went hell for leather without thinking of the outcome.

Sad state of affairs really! Crying or Very sad

No sympathy for the burglar but they went too far. I think it is the nature of the killing rather than the killing itself which is the big thing.

I think there might be more of these sort of vigilante things coming soon too. It's a very frustrating judicial system we have which doesn't appear to punish the people who should be, so maybe it's understandable that some would feel they need to dish out justice themselves.

I'm not saying it's right, but that's how a lot of people feel I think.

At what point do you say enough is enough when confronted with another human being who is trying to rid you of your worldy goods and possibly your own life because you have that person cornered.
Frankly in my opinion once that person is disabled/immobilised/unconsious then thats enough ..stabbing is a last line of defense and stamping on someones head ????...lets face it they must already be on the floor therefore i assume immobilised or under control.
He deserved the kickin
He didnt deserve to die
They deserve the sentence

senseless violence when you consider it could be better redirected at kiddie fiddlers Twisted Evil

No sympathy.
He's probably burgled 100's of other hard working honest tax paying people who contribute to society. Just like everyone on here.

Fuck him.

There were two of them. They should have restrained him and called the police. Killing the guy, they deserve to get locked up. If it was one on one and came to a situation where it was going to be my life or his I'd defend myself.
