A lot of people are incredulous when I tell them tha it against the law to defend yourself when being attacked or robbed in Great Britain. Here is an example I got from Blue crab boulvard.

Patrick Walsh, 56, awoke to find an intruder in his flat on Corkland Road in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester.
Police say "following an exchange of words" the 43-year-old suspect fell 35ft from the fourth floor window on to the pavement below. He suffered massive injuries from the fall, at around 6.10am on Monday, and died in hospital.

It is thought the pair got into an argument. A neighbour from a nearby property, who asked not to be named, said: "I was up at around that time, and I did hear a noise like a window being broken."

Another local said: "If the guy who fell out of the window was breaking into the property then why was the homeowner arrested?"

I liked the case where the homeowner armed with a shotgun confronted two burglars. One of them grabbed the gun which dicharged wounding his buddy. The homeowner was sentenced to prison while the burglars got off lightly. Later the homeowner was denied parole because he was deemed to be a threat to burglars. The name over there should be changed to Once-But-No-Longer Great Britain.
