This one made me think:
A dog owner was allegedly murdered in his own home by thieves who were targeting his beloved pet labradoodle. Police found the body of Donald Patience shortly after they were called to reports of Layla being dognapped.
All this took place in Britishland, where one is forbidden to defend one’s life and/or property.
I can’t help thinking what the reaction would be had this happened in, say, Dallas, where at least one of the home invaders could well have ended up being terminally perforated by a .45 hollowpoint bullet.
Of course, that would result in the usual handwringing sobs of “a dog’s life is not worth a human life”. According to these asshole thieves, though, it actually is worth more than a human life.
It’s just too bad it was the owner’s, and not the robber’s.
