Re: UK - Don't hurt your attacker!

We almost were that way back in the 70's or that timeframe, but we thankfully pulled back from it. Watch the Dirty Hary movies and Death Wish. The attitudes of the big city politicians and prosecutors were not far from the truth. Thankfully, people got fed up with it and things slowly moved back the other direction.

Look at the murder rates in the US. I believe they peaked back in those decades. Better laws on crime and punishment are as much or more of a factor on why murder rates have declined since then as gun issues.
