Tony Martin To Be "Knocked Off" Claims Men

So let's see Martin has no conceal carry gun but these guys obviously do.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/content_objectid=13227921_method=full_siteid=50143_headline=-THREAT-TO-MARTIN-AS-HE-IS-FREED-FROM-PRISON-name_page.html

From the article:

.........One of the men, named as Ishmael Steele, said: "Martin will get it. We've got hundreds of relations who aren't happy." His accomplice, identified only as "Georgi" added: "Tony Martin is a dead man. I don't know if it will be a traveller who will do it but it will be a proper hitman - a professional job."

Steele went on: "To those who say it's just talk I'd say: 'Wait and see'.

"The detectives can't be with him all the time.".........

1. Wow!!

What fools Brits are for not immediately arming every idiot they can scrape off the streets...er.....

"They are certainly not part of Fred's immediate family. It's nothing more than stupid talk and they are clearly spouting off the top of their heads. I can categorically say it's absolute rubbish. We're putting the whole episode behind us.

"There's no price on Tony Martin and never has been.

"Remarks like this are only inflammatory and don't represent the feelings of our family.

2. That doesn't invalidate the threat

Clearly these are thugs that are afraid Mr Martin might get Britian's (no) self defense laws changed. People might be allowed to fight back!

5. You'll notice the preponderance of opinions

from such Democratic stalwarts as Sweatshop Linda Chavez, Orrin Hatch and Reason magazine among the "bullets for brains" crowd.

7. Tabloid twaddle

However, if you're going to present this as evidence, this also indicates that use of guns to defend property is in fact no guarantee of safety.

Tony Martin shot an unarmed 16 year old boy in the back as he cried out "No! Mum! Please don't!". What a hero.

Now people associated with the deceased seem to have revenge in mind. So all the use of a gun has acheived is a dead 16 year old, an incarcerated man, another wounded and now what looks like a lynch mob.

Brilliant. Arm everyone.
