Seen the cctv. Do you think we can rely on the police and politicians to act ?

It seems ridiculous to kill someone over a couple of bicycles

I hope they are caught

this incenses me bigtime
these predatory motherf*ckers act with total impunity due to pusillanimous,liberal scum
we all know the etnicity of the perpetrators
i grew up in a 'diverse' area
have lots of friends of the same hue who are good guys
but who would still not totally condemn this
altho' they certainly wouldn't condone it
and that annoys me as well
i'd sort this sh*t out in 2 mins(i mean all violent opportunistic crime whoever the perpetrators) but of course i'd never get the opportunity
so unfortunately it's only going to get worse
i have the utmost sympathy for those having to endure an existence in the inner cities
god help them

Unfortunately those in power and our wonderful media seem to think the greater crime was perpetrated by a bunch of meatheads singing songs and pushing a man off a train.

No jury will convict if you use equal force because equal force is reasonable force! It is unreasonable to use a knife against an unarmed.  But perfectly reasonable to defend with a knife against a knife.  The attacked have human rights as well you know!

Reasonable force is not equal force and can be greater or lesser than equal force depending on the circumstances and the context. There is no such thing as equal force in the UK other wise that is what would be required instead of reasonable force.

What I meant was, if you are attacked by a man with a knife and you shoot him with a gun, that is not likely to be regarded as reasonable force. But if you kill him with a knife, that is more likely to be regarded as reasonable force. One of the few qualifications I don't have is in Law. So I bow to everyone elses superior knowledge if they are more qualified in this field than what I am!

They won't be able to sell those bicycles, or ride them, there is a murder rap attached

This young man has been killed and nobody has gained a thing

Young men did not carry knives when I was young. Perhaps the odd one that was all

Why not just beat them up and grab the bikes

Dr Slicer your understanding of the law was correct and Shrewd Dudes knowledge of what the law says is not the same as knowledge of what it means.

Thank you Mr 1971, for your valued 2nd opinion and your continued support.  What Mr Dude is not aware of that I am always right even in the unlikely event of me being wrong. But in this case I am right because I am right!

To opine on the question of using a gun when attacked by a man with a knife, if someone is threatening to kill you and you have not had a reasonable amount of training in the gradations of the options available, it's reasonable in my view to kill them.
Of course it would probably need a jury to decide.

Knives were in abundance in the 50s, a bit before my time but I remember being threatened by a thug with a flick knife when I was about 11. Most Teddy boys had them.

Slicer please excuse me but you're talking complete & utter rubbish , if somebody attacks you with a knife & you used a knife in RETALIATION , you'd end up in jail for at least 2 years

If some lunatic attacks me with a Knife ,I manage to get Knife off him and stab him ,do I still get 2 years ?

moonbeam is right.
By:

When: 03 Mar 15 22:54
thats ok casemoney, you would be cleared but if you had been carrying a knife also, you would be jailed as moonbeamn clearly states
By:

Ok Mac thx Laugh Hopefully this situation will not arise ..
By:
Mc Moonbeam
When: 03 Mar 15 22:58
you'd then be given a fair amount of leniency casemoney as that is plainly defending your own life against your attackers but you're clearly not prepared for war .. it'd then come down to your 'good character' & previous convictions !

The law in this country is a complete & utter **** .. it by no means 'defends the innocent'

Hope not mate, for the attackers sake Shocked
By:
Mc Moonbeam
When: 03 Mar 15 23:19
plus if you killed the guy you'd simply be cleared of murder & convicted of manslaughter .. the same as driving an insured car as opposed to an uninsured one


you can kinda see why they carry knifes in rough area's as the law's not gonna protect them is it Plain

Yes Teddy Boys had them, but they were more for slashing, there was not the killing there is now
Also of course in those days you were hung for murder

Mc Moonbeam- you are excused, as requested!
By:
Slicer
When: 04 Mar 15 08:29
All I know is that if I am attacked by someone with a knife, my first thought will NOT be will the jury convict me if I defend myself! I would defend myself with any means at my disposal and my intention would be to eliminate my assailant with extreme prejudice!

I hope this clarifies the matter.

I see 2 suspects are being held in relation to the murder. If found guilty wouldn't it be nice if they could be given life sentences which meant until their death. More likely they will be released with plenty of time to father the next generation of angry feral scum.

and in the main they are also a financial drain on the state
