You guys think it is funny and all dumb ass-s in Britain find this story hilarious. I don't. I find it is pathetic!
Clearly in UK, just like in Canada, burglars are targeting elderly people - the most defenseless segment of populace. It was a miracle that this young guy was drunk and that the old guy was a boxer. But for one miracle there are thousands of tragedies that we never learn about - victimized, raped, murdered elders.
I, for one, much prefer stories from US telling us how a 73 old granny blew off the head of would be burglar. In fact, NRA should run with this story - unless you a boxing champion, GET A GUN! In UK and Canada, obviously, this is impossible. In fact, had he had a gun in these moronic countries, the older gentleman would go to prison for shooting the intruder.
