Well done LUL; I hope you stand up to the RMT ******* here... While that may be technically true, to what extent should an employment contract override your basic legal right to defend yourself using a level of force that seems reasonable to you in the light of a perceived threat? It would be rather harsh to have to choose between your job and not getting punched/stabbed/shot, after all. This is LUL, not the SAS. Personally, if the police and CPS don't prosecute him, they presumably think his actions were reasonable, so why don't LUL? I'm inclined to agree. No CPS action = his actions were reasonable self defence. I don't believe you should ever be discouraged from defending yourself. This thing stinks. Hmm. Given that the victim had gone home by the time the BTP arrived, without leaving a forwarding address, I suspect the lack of CPS action was more based on lack of beyond-reasonable-doubt evidence that a crime took place, rather than an assessment that the CSA's actions were legitimate self-defence. Weird the way that people who'd normally double-check if a LUL employee told them the sun rose in the east (*waves at Boltar*) are accepting this particular LUL employee's story without question, innit? -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
