#1 Another reason the Constitutional guarantee of trial by jury, "..In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed,.." is enjoyed by 'citizens' [not subjects] in America. The vast majority of DAs would not expect to get a conviction let alone a reelection if they tried to pull crap like that in the US.

#4 From the news article: "Floral tributes to the dead man have been laid near the scene."

I wonder if anyone would have left flowers if it had been the homeowner who had been killed, rather than the home invader.

#5 Two years ago, 4 robbers invaded a restaurant-supply store in Harlem, NYC, and pistol-whipped one of the employees. The owner, a 72-year-old man, picked up a shotgun and fired three shells, killing two of the robbers, and wounding the other two. The next day, someone put up one of those 'memorials', and someone who worked on the street kicked it into the gutter.

The man wasn't charged with anything, by the way. Not even Bloomberg would do anything so foolish.

Oh, and if you search for this story, watch out. Some unhinged people wrote not-safe-for-humanity articles.

#6 Perhaps the second intruder - the one who got away - will come back to testify against the homeowner.
