Four men break into a house during the night and two of them are shot, not fatally, by the homeowner.
One might think that a dose of buckshot up the behind is just what they deserved.
Needless to say, the police see things differently and the homeowner and his wife are arrested.
Despite the Governemnt's assurance last November that 'the law is on their side' when homeownwers try to protect themselves and their homes against intruders, what's the betting that the would-be burglars will be let off with a 'Community Punishment', if they are even charged, but that the easy-target homeowner will end up in jail?
