‘Most crooks don’t have licences but still keep guns

He’s in the news again and his name is Tony Martin.  He is the farmer who some years ago, went to jail after shooting and deleting a young burglar.  That was a good deed.  Except of course back then, Mr. Martin went to jail and also lost his permit to own a shotgun.  People here were outraged that the law would come down so heavily on Martin, who was protecting his property.  Impossible for us Americans to understand the mindset that appear so heavily in favor of the bad guys. 

Well, Mr. Martin chased off another bad guy and this time no shooting. But he says it isn’t the first time there have been intruders on the property.  The story reads like he does have a weapon handy, but he is now afraid of using such due to what happened to him before.  He might become a victim 2wice.  Once at the hands of a thief and again at the hand of asinine laws that bleed tears for the bad guys. 

A week or two ago, a judge decided that 17 year olds MUST be treated as children under the law if arrested. 

Meanwhile ….  this week two teens, age 15, were sent to jail for 6 years for the mugging and killing of an 85 year old woman.  They were totally unconcerned about her death. The black bastards will be out just in time to enjoy the rest of their undeserved youth.  The rest of us can only hope we won’t be one of their future victims.  And lets be clear about this.  It won’t be their fault vermin tho they are. That’s what they do. Innit? I mean to say, scum are only doing their job.  It’s the system that isn’t doing its job.

‘I wished I’d fought him off’: Farmer Tony Martin who was jailed for shooting a teenage burglar confronts thieves for the second time

· Claims he chased thief yelling: ‘Come back again and I’ll sort you my way’

· 67-year-old shot dead Fred Barras and injured Brendan Fearon in 1999
· Given a life sentence before crime was reduced to manslaughter
· After stress of yesterday’s incident he’s been taken to hospital for treatment
· ’I don’t understand myself or recognise myself. I don’t feel safe,’ he said

‘Most crooks don’t have licences but still keep guns so the law’s hugely unbalanced in their favour.

The farmer was checking out houses and barns when he confronted the intruder.
He said, ‘He ran away but I’m convinced he’ll be back in my barn and then he’ll wish he wasn’t,’ admitted Mr Martin, who does not hold a shotgun licence any more.
‘But you know what,’ he said. ‘Most crooks don’t have licences but still keep guns so the law’s hugely unbalanced in their favour.
‘While it’s 13 years since the last incident happened, I don’t think we’re any safer than we were then. I still feel vulnerable and am unable to properly protect myself.
‘It’s not the value of the goods that upsets me; its just that people seem to be able to come and take from others as they please and the police and politicians never seem to do anything about it.
‘Who’ll pay for the smashed battery? It’s irrelevant to the thief and I don’t expect the police to find him through checking the fingerprints.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
