Farmer In Court Over Shooting Theif

[tank34 2,573]

The mans a thieving c**t I new him years ago I think if I remember he got a kicking years ago for nicking dogs

Only thing the old man did wrong was miss the head on both

If the guy was stealing then he deserves to be shot and it's a travesty the cps ever went ahead with a prosecution whether he's found not guilty or not. If the guy was lamping a few rabbits and the farmers taking potshots at him then I think we,ll all agree he's out of order and wants locking up.

I knew this comment was going to come up and I disagree. That would give would be thiefs an excuse when on the rob. If your sneaking about someone's farm at that time in the morning then prepare to be shot.

I'm pretty sure anyone poaching a few rabbits doesn't want to be anywhere near the farmhouse.

Ur home is your castle, u should be allowed to defend it! Should have just took his head of the thriving f**k! Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6!

I'm not sure it would tbh. To use such a level of force it's quite right that you have to reasonably be in fear of your life. Now you should absolutely be allowed to arm yourself when protecting your family or property, that doesn't give you free reign though to shoot on sight, only if the threat makes it necessary.

 

Personally I don't think this case should ever have made it past the CPS. It shouldn't really have left the farm yard after a quick police questioning. If a farmer or keeper puts shot into the back of a poacher in a wood/field though then that to me is unreasonable and is the sort of thing that needs to go through the courts.

No I think by the sounds of this guy he's a wrong un upto to no good, but I wouldnt appreciate being shot for wandering around farmland with a lurcher

[greg64 3,043]

if he had just let a shot off into the air they would have f****d off pretty quick and if they were up to no good they would not have even reported him to the police and would probably give that farm a wide berth in the future

Seriously....... you actually think they were there with a heart full of good intentions?

Im sure you wouldn't as you know fine well that you were not on the rob. But this is where the problem lies. If the courts are too side with the 'victim' then they can make up a number of theries to be there. Whereas if they were to side with the owner of the property a bit more often it might make these thieving c**ts think again about stealing shit.

It's a difficult one either way. But if you are somewhere you shouldn't be then paying the consequences might come hand in hand with that.

The consequences of hunting should never be getting shot, by what your saying your giving excuses to farmers and gamekeepers to shoot poachers as they'll just say they thought they were thieves, infact in the eyes of the law and the gamekeepers they are thieves. If someone's in the farmhouse/shed give them both barrels for all I care. Thinking about this I am glad it's gone to court if the old guy acted as he said then he,ll be fine and at least it'll let any wanna be Rambo farmers and gamekeepers know they'll have to justify there actions if the pull that trigger.

We will agree to disagree then. Be long time coming when I run out onto the farm and shout "hey you there, are you stealing stuff or out poaching? Just so I know before I shoot you"

So basically anyone who walks into your farmyard your going to run straight out and shoot them?
