Tony Singh - No Charges
Good news is that Tony Singh has no charges to answer following his succesful self-defence against know scum bag Liam Kilroe’s attack.
The Director of Public Prosecutions is determined to ensure that those who use reasonable force in defending themselves will enjoy the full protection of the law - they will not be prosecuted.
The trouble is, John Dilworth, assistant district Crown prosecutor for South West Lancashire, we don’t believe you. Mr Singh will not face charges, but we are not at all reassured that this will be the case in other areas of the country. Or what if Mr Singh had been carrying a 3in folding knife (as he is perfectly entitled to do) and had killed chummy with that? The burden of proof would then have been that his reason for carrying the blade was ‘cutting stuff’ and not self-defence (a knife is a particularly shitty self defence tool). What if chummy hadn’t got a knife and Mr Singh killed him with something that came to hand (so called instant arming)? Mr Singh’s case was especially clear cut, life is not always so black and white.
