I've already mentioned David Codrea's Rights Watch column here but it's now up to view online- and I get a mention! The tale told there coincides with yet another story of modern day British policing. One would almost think that they are trying to alienate the average law-abiding citizen.
A DAD grabbed a drunken teenager he thought was trying to break into his home, handed him to police – and was arrested.
Yes indeed, not only do police leave an elderly woman alone to be attacked but they will also prosecute you for defending your own family and property- not to mention doing their job for them.
The head chef, who has children aged five and 15, heard a noise at the window of his townhouse at around 10.30pm. He opened the curtains and spotted the yob teetering on the window ledge.
While his wife called police in Gravesend, Kent, Mark [Goldberg] grappled with the teenager... He managed to flee but Mark chased him and marched him back to waiting cops.
Rather than be greeting by a courteous "thank you" and a firm handshake however, Mr. Goldberg was himself arrested for assault.
He said: “The police said the guy had a fat lip. We did tussle and fall to the ground but I didn’t hit him. He’s just making up stories and they believe him, not me. They threw me in a cell for 15 hours.”
As The Sun notes, "He is the latest in a string of householders to be arrested trying to protect their homes and property." Another marker in the sad decline of once-Great Britain.

Good grief! The cops are like a mob of their own, even more so now.
