nnn,

You didn't give any references.

So nicking someones wallet means execution for you lot now?
Harsh.

References ? Here's your references mate just get aboard and get going.
".the RAF decided to look for a 20mm cannon. Much effort was made to get the Hispano cannon into service. An ACAS report in November 1938 stated that "recent firing trials against armoured and unarmoured aeroplanes have convinced me that a more powerful weapon than the .303 must be introduced into service as soon as possible;....The 20mm calibre is the minimum which can be accepted.......every effort should be made to ensure rapid production."

mikk,

It is one thing to bag the authorities, but what evidence do you have to contradict the informed opinion of the District Attorney and police who stated without qualification that the targets of the armed attack by those armed thugs feared for their lives and the self-defence was reasonable and legal?

The self defence and protection of a friend was quick-thinking, well drilled and courageous. He should be given a medal.

What ideology and self interest makes you side with the thugs? Why should the rights of criminals always prevail over the rights of their vulnerable victims? Shouldn't victims of crime be allowed to defend themselves.

Nah mikk, not for the first offence, if they survive.

Just cutting off their hand for the first offence will do. Their head should only come off at the second offence, if they have survive.

nnn,
