Householders should be able to use whatever force is necessary to defend their homes against criminals, even if it involves killing the intruder, the country's most senior police officer said yesterday.

Sir John Stevens, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, said those who defended their families and property should only face prosecution over injuries to intruders in "extreme circumstances", where they could be shown to have used gratuitous violence.


Sir John: 'People should be allowed to use what force is necessary'
Speaking exclusively to the Telegraph, days after John Monckton, a financier, was stabbed to death in an attempted robbery at his home in Chelsea, Sir John said: "My own view is that people should be allowed to use what force is necessary and that they should be allowed to do so without any risk of prosecution.

"There's a definite feeling around when I go out on the beat with officers and talk to members of the public that we need clarity in the law."

He said the current legal test of "reasonable force", which has evolved in common law, seemed to be weighted against householders and left the public confused about their rights.

...that any force necessary should be the standard when discussing threats to self or family.

Cant wait to see the liberal defense of the rights of criminals...

being knifed to death in his own home...

is sufficiently disturbing to silence the idiots, temporarily at least.

After they exploited the poor working class by buying into the capitalist system. It's THEIR fault that this man was a criminal so they deserved it! *

Your constant, and pathetically childish name-calling, and misinformed stereotyping does kind of make me want to own a gun. Is that how the right spreads its hate? Making everyone desire guns?

whatever works!

But seriously, while I defend the right for people to own guns, I would never buy one. I just have no desire to go through the process and I don't particularly have any use for them.
