It's somewhere between 3 and 5am, you've just shot an intruder. You're having trouble hearing what he's saying through the blood he's choking on and the ringing in your ears. You can smell that he shit himself and you can see that he pissed himself. But hey, you saved your cd player. All in all a good night.
Years gone, I saw an interview with a London Metro constable who was asked what he thought about arming the police. As near as I can recall, his answer was something like, ‘I see a bloke sprinting down the street. Maybe he’s nicked a radio. Maybe he’s nicked 50 quid. Can’t see shooting him for that.’
