Dwyer: fair play.

You can never tell what you'd do in the circumstances until you're facing the reality, but to take on these hood rats may seem foolish. He acted to protect his family as well as himself.

Hero IMO.

Tricky one. It may be that his attack could have resulted in his daughter being killed straight away, if the fellow holding the knife decided to slash her.

But yes, brave to fight back, and beat seven shades outta them.

Admirably brave. Looks like a good result for the DNA database, too!


A third man, Joseph Carty, committed suicide in his cell last year while on remand for both offences.

Good. That'll save us a few quid.
let the other 2 keep their belts and shoe laces and hope they go the same way.

If the gun was real and he shot all 3 scumbags in his own home, would Dwyer have gone to jail?

Depends on the circumstances I suppose.

If they were continuing to attack him and he was in fear of his life, then probably not, if they were running off, and he shot them in the back, then he probably would.

Sounds unlikely in those circumstances. Public interest would rightly be very, very much against it.

would you convict him if you were on the jury?

I wouldn't. In my opinion they lost all their rites the moment they broke into his house, and I reckon that's how the law should be. Same as people who twok cars. No rites.

Chap should be awarded a medal. OK, he 'only' defended himself and his family, but IMHO in doing so he made himself a positive example for the rest of society...and there's too few (of the right) people doing that nowadays...

Cripes, used to live near Southwick (ugh!) and used to live in Langley.
Weird.

Good man!

As mentioned, I too believe that when you break into somebodies home you can't be expected to be treated well. If you break into my home I'm not going to faff about assessing the situation, I'll act first and assess later.

Note the comments"He,s fighting back" utter shock & misbelief in someone daring to Not accept surrender to the braindead vermin that this Govt and courts protect.
I wonder when the citizens decide they have had enough, and take action in protecting their family and themselves by whatever means are available and come together in local road areas, to stand up to the slime who they know.

Take the law(joke) into their own hands?--Yes--just try arresting 20,000 law abiding citizens.Dont reply with comments of Anarchy!!!you havent noticed??????

I'm glad it all worked out well for him, beating on him after he agreed to comply deserves exactly that. He deserves a medal, although his current reward is having a family and life still.

I'm glad it wasn't me, as I would have shot them.
