Home Invasion? Just call the police.
We all know the old story don’t we?
Burglars are:
Just kids
Will run away if confronted
Blah blah
However if you push the collectivist ‘society will protect you’ arsehole ‘liberal’ wankers they will conceed that there are times when the householder needs a little help. Not from a tool of self-defence such as a gun, a taser or a big bloody knife. Oh no, you should call the police. That’s what they’re there for, one shouldn’t ‘take the law into your own hands’.
From the Daily Mail and various rags:
Cowering upstairs with his partner and their two children as a gang of burglars wielding an axe emptied his living room, Mathew Sims wasted no time in calling 999.
But instead of the immediate response he expected, the police told him: “We’re too busy to help.”
Within minutes, the burglars drove off with a haul of stolen property.
When the seconds count, you can rely on the police to be there in minutes as the old saying goes.
Or not.
Officers only turned up at the family’s home three hours later.
A disgrace? Absolutely. The real disgrace is that this is hardly an isolated incident. A further disgrace is that this was relegated to News In Brief in the Telegraph. This should have been front page headline news. Why not so? Is it because it is no novelty? Or could it perhaps be that our left wing biased media, yes even the Mail and Telegraph are establishment (i.e. socialist) leaning.
