WELL done the two ladies who saw-off a 15 stone mugger.
However as they, by their own admission, caused him physical injury by repeatedly hitting him with their walking-sticks (Lethal weapons?), will they now be charged with using too much force in defending themselves?
Will they face charges instead of the mugger, who will most likely get off with a slap on the wrist because of the injuries sustained?
Or will the two ladies be adjudged too old and infirm to stand trial?
I suggest instead that they receive commendations. They have my sincere thanks in giving a piece of scum his come-uppance. Well done ladies.
A.P. TOBIAS.
