our police think we should "scream at the tops of our voices" if we're confronted with intruders, even if our homes are miles away from anywhere!!!!
I get the impression that they really feel we should take a line out of that brilliant film with Steve Martin, where he's at an ATM machine and this guys says "Hi, my name's Mike and I'll be your mugger for this evening! Please hand over all your money!". We should just stand aside and allow them to take whatever they want, and if there's too much maybe we should even help them!! After all, if you listen to all the parole people here they're the REAL victims not the people the robbed, burgled, mugged, raped, etc, etc!!
Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now!! SORRY!
