The UK is having these widespread riots because of the ingrained belief that using non-lethal force on violent criminals is always appropriate. Violent criminals are definitely endorsing that concept. So, it can't be good.

After everybody's on board with this idea of non-lethal force, then there will be another movement for not allowing homeowners to use force at all. I'm sure criminals would agree to return a percentage of their takings just to turn that concept into law.

Unfortunately, the UK may already be there. Based on the home invasion cases I've read, the UK justice system fights back pretty hard against homeowners who have the audacity to protect themselves from home invaders, robbers, murderers and rapists. The U.S. needs to get out of NATO immediately before we catch this Nanny State disease like herpes.
