So who reckons the chemist will be slapped with causing the burglar's death? Would be typical, woonit?
Personally, I reckon we oughta give him a medal...

It's a sad world we live in that we can't even (legally) defend our own property.

Gonna be interesting to see what the full story is, for sure. I reckon the crook probably had a heart attack or something. I can't see the Chemist being charged though.

That's pretty much my take on it too to be honest. The Chemist hardly looks like a bovvaboy duzzee?Originally Posted by Edbear

Yeah, he's a cuddly teddy bear of a bloke and at 68 not exactly in his prime years, or in prime ohysical shape, either. But the expression on his face and his demeanour on the news footage was of a man who would defend his business and himself without hesitation and to have "grappled with" the burglar shows his mettle.

Almost gaurantee there will be some form of criminal charges laid against the chemist.
No doubt the Police will be reluctant to not lay charges and be swayed by the fear of public opinion and will " let the Courts decide"
Embracing mediocrity
Expect the usual - guy gets charged for a bit of window dressing to appease the piece of crap criminal's family who are wailing about how sad it is that they're dead, but charges dropped at depositions by judge who decides it's not in public interest to prosecute. Police can then claim to have done their job, good guy gets off, criminal's family can't bleat about no charges being laid.
Win all round, including the taxpayer who's not forking up $60k a year for another prisoner.

The gunshop owner who shot the guy with the machete was deemed to have acted in self-defence and not charged for the shooting itself, so why would an unarmed chemist be charged unless you guys know more details than what the media is letting on?

Speculation is such fun...
