The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
David Meyers (pictured), 52, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after officers arrived following a report of a home invasion in the 3500 block of West 79th Street at about 3:20 a.m.
Officers said they found Robert McNally, 64, on the floor with his arm around the neck of Meyers, struggling to hold him down.
When officers told McNally he could let go, they found that Meyers was unresponsive. Medics who were called to the scene then pronounced Meyers dead.
Indianapolis police Sgt. Matt Mount said Meyers had come into the home naked, except for a mask and latex gloves.
"He had rope, had a knife, had condoms, had a gag," Mount said.
Police said Meyers had gotten into the home through a window next to the girl's bedroom and that he knew the home well because his uncle owns it and he was an acquaintance of the family.
The teen awoke to find a naked man in her room and began screaming, alerting McNally, police said.
During a protracted struggle in the hallway of the home, McNally was able to get his arm around Meyers' neck and subdue him while his wife called police, officers said.
Meyers was a registered sex offender and was released from prison two years ago after he had served 10 years of a 20-year sentence for criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct stemming from a case in Hamilton County.
Meyers was also being sought in Boone County for failure to register as a sex offender.
Police said Meyers had been living with his mother down a gravel road from the home that the McNally family lived in and had recently lost his job.
"When they got the mask off, both the father and daughter recognized him," Mount said.
Police said Meyers had a history of heart problems. They were not immediately sure if he died as a result of heart failure or from being choked.
The results of the police investigation will be turned over to the Marion County Prosecutor's Office, but it is unlikely charges will be filed, police said.
I'd hope that even if charges were filed, a jury would be pretty sympathetic toward a man who found an armed naked dude in his daughter's bedroom!
Interestingly, after that Barclays guy was killed in Norwhich trying to break up a fight, there's been quite a few politicians stepping up to say that they think we should do more to thanks people who 'step in' rather than finding themselves prosecuted for assault.
I say, Yay! let us pave the way for real life Batmen!
[Harry Callahan has to explain why he shot a man] Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy. The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that? Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross! [walks out of the room] The Mayor: He's got a point.

Good on him! The perv must have done something pretty bad first time round to get 20 years.
I was however amused by: "Officers said they found Robert McNally, 64, on the floor with his arm around the neck of Meyers, struggling to hold him down.
When officers told McNally he could let go, they found that Meyers was unresponsive. Medics who were called to the scene then pronounced Meyers dead."

Well, sometimes there are a few active nerves left that make them jump around a little...
It's like that old story about being trapped in a locked room with a large angry rattlesnake, a hungry mountain lion and a lawyer...You have a pistol with only two rounds of ammo left...Who do you shoot?...
Answer: You shoot the lawyer...Twice...Just to make sure......Ben

You walk down a path to a lake and find two men struggling to get out - they are drowning. One of them is a lawyer and the other is child molester - you cant save them both in time so you have to choose....
Sandwiches or a hot meal for lunch?
All things considered - Fair play to the 64 yr old for kicking his arse!
I'd have pulled Meyers head off and shown it to him, which wouldnt have been easy, I'd have had to carry the head to a mirror - but by that time he might have been dead - so it would need to be quick.
Or I'd have actually ripped his arm off (I am strong enough to do that these days- the average arm cant hold 125kgs, particularly if its suddenly applied, and stay attached. I know I can pull way harder than that) and then beaten him to death with it and then taken pictures... and mailed them to his mom - just to be sure...
I dont like guys like Meyer...
