Ayuh. Self-defense has been a crime there for some time now. Self-defense that results in a dead felon is punishable with life in prison. Thank God these idjits don't have the death penalty there.

uh Crotalus that is the death penalty. Just not for the criminals.

Self defense is legal and encouraged in only one instance: if you are a high ranking pol or royalty. Try to attack Gordon Brown with a knife and you would receive ample automatic weaspons fire.

Well, yeah, SA. I just meant "officially", they don't have the death penalty.

O.K., David. What's with these verification words? This one was "mantra". No foolin'!

Dead citizens, who are victims of violent criminals, are morally superior to live ones who successfully defend themselves.

Yeah, thats the ticket!
