UK man who attacked armed thugs holding family hostage is jailed - Polidicks

[quote]A millionaire businessman who fought off knife-wielding thugs who threatened to kill his family was jailed for 30 months today - while his attackers remain free to walk the streets. Munir Hussain, his wife and their three children stumbled on three intruders, wearing balaclavas, in their home when they returned from their mosque during Ramadan. The family were ordered to lie on the floor of the living room with their hands behind their backs. As four of them were tied up, Mr Hussain's teenage son escaped through a window. Two of the raiders fled when they realised the youngster had gone. Mr Hussain then threw a coffee table at the third man, 56-year-old Walid Salem, hitting him in the face. He then enlisted his brother Tokeer in chasing the offenders down, bringing one of them to the ground in a nearby garden in the street in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. What followed was described in Reading Crown Court as self-defence that went too far, leaving intruder Salem with a permanent brain injury after he was struck with a cricket bat so hard that it broke into three pieces. Judge Reddihough noted Mr Hussain's 'courage' but said he had carried out a 'dreadful, violent attack' on the intruder as he lay defenceless. Salem was the only intruder caught after the incident on September 3, 2008, but his injuries meant he was not fit to plead after being charged with false imprisonment. Salem, who has a string of 50 past convictions, was given a two-year supervision order at a court hearing in September this year. The brothers, described as family men at the heart of the local community, were found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent after a trial earlier this year. The prosecution alleged two other men took part in the so-called 'revenge attack' with them.[/quote] Read more: [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1235782/Family-man-fought-armed-thugs-took-family-hostage-jailed.html[/url]

What the shit, fucked up criminal system.

Now that's just stupid.

Nice justice system you got over there U.K. Real stellar. I'm so glad I don't live there. Next in the news, "Women foils attempted rape, is jailed." MORE AT NINE.

I fucking hate my country.

And this kind of nonsense happens all the time. England seriously needs to fix its system.

[QUOTE=Bean-O;18941504]And this kind of nonsense happens all the time. England seriously needs to fix its system.[/QUOTE] You are right.. we should ban cricket bats, they are dangerous to everybody and could be used for violence!

That's just ridiculous.

Laws are laws, he crossed the line of self defence hence it became assault. Re-read the article you three.

:suicide: FFS How retarded is my country, Britian is a Exteme Liberal paradise where People can get prosecuted for self defence, This is why I Want a Far right wing country

A week doesn't go buy where I hear about a situation like this occurring in Britain. Of course, I don't live there, so I'm not going to pass judgement.

Holy shit it was in High wycombe. I live VERY close to there.

I'm sure I would slaughter people holding my family hostage too. Worth the jail time. Media will pressh im to be released. [editline]11:27AM[/editline] Wait what family.

[QUOTE=markg06;18941578]Laws are laws, he crossed the line of self defence hence it became assault.[/QUOTE]No wonder people don't bother to defend someone who's being beaten or attacked or something, they might be jailed for helping.

[QUOTE=The mouse;18941582]:suicide: FFS How retarded is my country, Britian is a Exteme Liberal paradise where People can get prosecuted for self defence, This is why I Want a Far right wing country[/QUOTE] so a fucked up court system means the government is 100% liberal and because of that you want a far-right government that's ruled by large corporations and where evolution is banned in schools ok

Same as US, where burglars sue people they rob all the time.

[editline]06:33PM[/editline] Besides, she was in New York. In the 60's. New York is known for being a center of assholes. The 60's are known for LSD. The neighbors were probably assholes tripping on LSD. Probably saw her and her attacker as a fire hydrant attacking a cream-filled donut.

[QUOTE=TheForeigner;18941700]Same as US, where burglars sue people they rob all the time.[/QUOTE] That's why it's best to aim for the head. A dead man can't sue.

UK is more of a shithole than the US, and they bash us more than anyone.

[QUOTE=The mouse;18941853]One name: Hiter[/QUOTE] who the fuck is hiter is that what you call the plank stuck up your ass?

Well it does sound like they went a bit crazy. It's a tough call.

He got the man, brought him back, then smacked him up with a cricket bat (which broke) and left the man with brain damage. That's excessive. Shouldn't excuse the others. I think nothing would have happened to the millionaire, had he just hit the man whilst he was still in the house.

[QUOTE=The mouse;18941853]One name: Hiter[/QUOTE] make sense please

[QUOTE]leaving intruder Salem with a permanent brain injury after he was struck with a cricket bat so hard that it broke into three pieces.[/QUOTE] For those of you who missed it, that was after he had been subdued.
