what should they do then Neko? ask the burglar to politely leave? throw a wet sponge at them? Cry and hope the burglar shows sympathy and leaves? Make the burglar a cup of tea and try to reason with them about the moralities of what they are doing ? What would you do if you were an old or weak person fronting some giant haystack of a burglar ? Like I said, reasonable force - I was talking about the likes of me (did martial arts) or Gres (man-mountain), as was pertinent to the conversation at the time. To be frank, I can't see someone who's that weak or old and frail attempting to tackle the burglar anyway - and if they do, then I advocate reasonable force. A jury of peers may well deem a baseball bat 'reasonable force' in the hands of some 70 year-old arthritic woman - but I'll say it again; is she really that likely to go and confront the intruder? good ! So someone as old as me can get away with twatting a burglar with a baseball bat cheers Neko ! ;D
