The little st "got what he deserved", to quote the judge who sent him down.

Good. Ex-army boxer too.

'Photos of the burglar looked like he had a car crash', 'photos of the scene looked like a murder scene'

Nice to see a bit of justice

[nonplussed]

How fantastic is that

[Big Rod]

Outstanding!! <standingovation>

[cazzer]

Could we not all chip in and send Frank an appreciation card?
Might take a while to get us all to sign it......

Love that story.

Robbing your neighbour is pretty fking stupid, without a full ski mask the chances of being recognised are pretty high!

EFA!

I think that despite getting a kicking, 4 1/2 years is a bit lenient for aggravated burglary and attacking a pensioner with a knife?

Why does that news paper have a Jade Goody section?

Is that like some combination of travel, entertainment, and the obits over in blighty?

Good story

Also, when reading the comments, found her

Nice. They say the last thing a boxer loses his is power. Those hooks must've hurt

[Jasandjules]

Nice one.

I'm just glad that the old fellow didn't get arrested.

[Scraggles]

read that both of them were having major arguments, hence the reason why the attacker got the minimum sentence, but so glad that the old guy was an ex boxer

Amen to that.

[Saddle bum]

That has made my day. Life seems so much better now.

[pano amo]

Great! Perhaps even more refreshing was the Judge's comments. They usually take pity on the poor burglars who were unfairly beaten up while robbing a house...
Only problem is that scrote will probably come back (with mates) and do the old boy. He's going to want revenge.

Seems you can get away with it by using your fists and not a weapon. In case it happens to anyone else you'll just have to make sure the baseball bat is cleaned and put away after and stick to your story, the crim will always lie about it anyway.

How to explain a shotgun wound as a punch might be a little tricky though.
