[release]Builder David Fullard, 46, leapt into action as the brute and a pal forced their way into his home and threatened to rape his girlfriend and kill his sons. He grabbed the antique sword and sliced off the left lug of the yob - named Michael SEVERS. Prosecutors said Mr Fullard went too far for self-defence and charged him with unlawful wounding. He faced up to EIGHT YEARS in jail. A jury took less than 50 minutes to acquit him at Hull Crown Court. Lethal ... Samurai sword Afterwards he said: "I would do it again under the same circumstances. "You cannot stand around and do nothing when someone comes to your house and threatens your family." Their ordeal came last March when Severs and pal Michael Smith - both high on vodka and cannabis - stormed into the Fullards' home in Brough, East Yorks, demanding money. They were armed with a spade and knuckle-duster. Smith picked up the sword as they threatened to rape Mr Fullard's partner Sue, 53. They also said they would kill his sons Tom, 17, and Danny, 14, and torch the house. Mr Fullard grabbed the sword and lunged once at Severs. Accomplice ... Michael Smith He told the jury: "I wanted the flat of the sword to hit him. I didn't want it to lead to injury. "As soon as I hit him I went to ring the police. I was just panicking." Surgeons reattached the ear. Neighbours described Mr Fullard as "an honest, caring, family man at the heart of the community". He was cleared in November but it can only be reported now that cases against Severs, 22, and Smith, 19, have finished. Yesterday the two jobless thugs got six-month suspended sentences and 100 hours of community service after admitting affray. Last night Mr Fullard said: "It's a bad result. They got a slap on the wrists. "Sue is still quite worried about answering the door. We have had a lot of sleepless nights."

The judge ruled he was free to Van Gogh.
Fuck yeah! Dad of the year.
He gets an A+++ Bad Ass grade.

Must have been an Ear Aching experiance
We need more people in the world like this. I salute you, Mr. Fullard. :patriot:
I'm glad the jury cut him some slack.

Ear.
The Sun? Until we get a reliable source, this is all hearsay.
Well he certainly cut to the chase.
I bet he could hear the sword cutting through the air.
[quote=vBullshit]Ear.[/quote] Your avatar = intruder's face.
if the intruder was black it would be 20 years minimum sentence
About fucking time that someone using self-defense [B]wasn't[/B] prosecuted.
God fucking dammit I want my ear back.
I guess you could say that that intruder was s[b]EAR[/b]iously in trouble
Grabbin' a Ninja Sword of Love.

Alright let's stop with the ear puns.

Please stop guys. You are making my eyes bleed from the "witty" responses

[QUOTE=Informative Man;20160737]Please stop guys. You are making my eyes bleed from the "witty" responses[/QUOTE] My ear is bleeding and I still haven't got it back.
Would have been bullshit if he actually got convicted and sent to jail, while the thugs got a slap on the wrists.
I feel he did the right thing given the circumstances of course.
Wait, in the UK you can face jail time for killing/hurting someone that breaks into your home?

[QUOTE=demoguy08;20161195]Hurting? Possibly. Killing? Without a shadow of a doubt.[/QUOTE] How pathetic. If someone's life is at risk then they should be allowed to use deadly force to defend themselves.
