Ted, over here in Ireland, a few years ago, a judge made a statement in court. He basically said he did not consider burgulary a crime serious enough to warrant a custodial sentence. Also since the good old EU came into being, human rights (of terrorists or criminals only mind) are paramount. In dublin recently the police unearthed a muslim extremist who was involved with the lunacy in syria. The government wanted him deported, he appealed to the european court and won. They said deporting the man would infringe his human rights !
Hmm. I'll bet said perp didn't break into the judge's house, did he?
I seem to remember some states here were trying to pass legislation that stated the first thing one was to do if someone broke into their home was to
attempt to flee. That meant, if my wife was taking a bath, and my child was sleeping, and someone broke in, I would be legally obligated to try to get out of the house.
It seems to me this lunacy was cut off at the bud right around the time concealed carry reform was sweeping across the country. Castle doctrine, also sweeping across the land, frames the above equation a bit differently.
I hear Obama has a few victims of human rights abuse that are housed in a prison on Cuba. What say we give them to the EU to be resettled, and you guys can try to make pat-a-cake with them?
You can start by housing them at the judge's place.
Best,
Ted
