That's probably the most pathetic attempt to troll I have ever seen on here.

Why ? Police are big joke after she "reformed" them couple of years ago

Right, so take her reform away and this poor chap would have had a cop guarding his house 24/7? What would have previously prevented this incident?

Jesus wept.

And you think there is a direct correlation between May and this poor man's murder?

I wonder if this was a targeted attack and not just for burglary purposes. Guns are unusual for that.

There was a Met Police guy (may have been ex) on the radio the other day.

It wasn't cuts that have contributed to the rising numbers of knife attacks he said.

Its the fact that the Police at now stopped from doing stop n search on anyone not white, because the first response to any such stop is "I know my rights" closely followed by "You're being racist" (from all manner of fkwits)

He pointed out that the demographic of knife carriers in the less well off parts of the city are young black males. But those of a liberal persuasion were unable to accept or believe that. So they can't prevent (some) knife crimes, and the cycle continues.

The home secretary, Theresa May, is to introduce a "comprehensive package" reforming the use of police stop-and-search powers after telling MPs that as many as a quarter of a million street searches last year were probably carried out illegally.

The home secretary said she wanted the battery of revised codes, best practice schemes and new methods of accountability to lead to a significant reduction in the use of stop and search, more intelligence-led targeted operations, and better arrest ratio

It is not an area where you expect this to happen at all. I don't know whether the property was targeted specifically - car or some other valuable, but it will send shockwaves in the area.

Poor guy!
I could hit a golf ball off my roof with a driver & hit that place! & a pitching wedge off another place I have & hit it.

Was round there this morning & didn't see anything,

This really is a low crime area & this sort of thing is very out of character.

Lightly off topic (for such a terrible incident, but today nothing surprises).

Have the Telegraph pinched a Wail theme?

Not just a mention of the price of the poor sod's property, but they include it in the actual heading!
As if it has any relevance whatsoever.

Perhaps they think it will sell more newspapers?

Just to add, when I saw the thread title my immediate thought was St Ives ...Cornwall.

Burglary with gun is extremely rare in the UK. And even rarer in decent rural or semi-rural areas. As above, suspect there is more to come on this one. Probably not random.
