Short answer, Jacob: no. Better to let these little thugs ransack your store, threaten your life and livelihood, and then use the spray paint to deface the property of others.Fined for tackling shop thieves

June 30, 2007
A HERO shopkeeper was fined £250 yesterday — because he tackled three hoodie thieves. Brave Jacob Smyth, 33, chased and caught the yobs after they grabbed armfuls of spray paint from his hardware store.
Cops gave two of them £80 fixed penalty fines — then HE was charged with assault.
The dad of three pleaded guilty at Truro magistrates court in Cornwall rather than face possible jail. His lawyer told JPs: “He was the one who was trying to do the right thing and get his stolen property back.”
A shopworker who helped Jacob catch the thugs in Penzance also faces court.
Magistrate Angy Haslam conceded Jacob acted in self-defence but said his reaction was “aggravated by the fact you kicked the victim on the ground”.
Jacob, who also ordered to pay £43 costs, said later: “It’s outrageous. I did nothing wrong. I was getting a good beating from this lad. I had no choice but to defend myself. I have a young child and do not want to run the risk of prison. But am I not allowed to protect my stock and premises from thieves?”

It’s the British way.
Of course, it’s not just the British way. It’s heading in that direction in liberal areas in America as well. So if you’re unfortunate enough to live in NYC, or Boston, or San Francisco or any of the other Usual Hellholes, be alert to this creeping liberalism. We already know that if you shoot a scumbag in your NYC house, you stand in as much danger of criminal prosecution as the scumbag.The story above should show you where this leads.
But from Red America (in this case, Billings, Montana) comes this heartening video of summary justice being administered to a pickpocket by yet another Old Fart Devil Dog.
And no WAY will Our Hero be charged with anything, because this is how things should be, both in my America and in Bulldog Britain.
