ATS needs it’s iwn crypto curancy.
So we can nake bets on stuff
I would out 10 ATS dollars, that the 78 year old is white and the people that broke into his house are not white. The skin colour of the people envilved is why common sense and logic are being removed from this situation and murder charges are being implied to this situation

In the U.K. self Defense comes down to being a proportional response to defend yourself.
Arresting the poor guy is just a standard thing they have to do. He did kill a guy after all, the cops can’t just walk away after that
I don’t have much sympathy though for anyone who trys to rob a old man in his home.

Ok, lemme get this straight...2 guys break into an old man's house, at least one armed with a screwdriver, there's a struggle and one of the guys gets stabbed.... and they arrest the 78 year old man for murder.
Hey, call me crazy, but here's an idea...If you don't want to get hurt DON'T BREAK INTO PEOPLE'S HOUSES.
ZERO sympathy for the dead guy and I hope the old man gets cleared.

Sure fine... If this man gets convicted then you're all right, if nit, you're all jumping the gun with very little information on the case still.
Let's see if this 78 year old gets charged with murder.
Don't let tabloid fool you....

Or would you rather the police just take a persons word for it after they've killed someone without establishing exactly what happened?
