Police bodycam: vigilante killer arrested after fatally stabbing a man 

Always remember, never defend yourself and always let people walk all over you and you will be fine.

This is why you never say a word to plod without your lawyer with you. Everything he said WILL be used against him!

Never say anything even if you think you are in the right until you got legal representation

When the police and the courts fail citizens we barely get an apology but when citizens are forced to take justice into their own hands they come down on you with the full force

The perfect example of why you never ever say anything to the police without legal representation.

If the guy hadn't been prowling the neighboorhood looking for unlocked cars and houses to break into, he'd still be alive.

This just happened earlier this week in Washington DC, where a carjacker got juked by the victim and later died. The highest law enforcement division in the United States quickly dismissed it as simple self defense “A man who fatally stabbed a carjacker at a D.C. gas station last week will not face charges, according to the U.S. Department of Justice”

NEVER EVER even if you're in the right speak too UK police. They will do nothing and make the situation worse, the total opposite of their jobs basically.

So, this man and his father get sentenced to life for killing a thief while child killers , pedophiles, and other killers get out on parole! What a freaking joke!!!!

The irony is if he called 101 he would have been waiting until Hell freezes over and then just given a case Ref. Number and no further action - and if he called 999 they would have just told him to call 101.

If the police and legal system did their jobs people wouldn’t be taking the law into their own hands

For those who dont know the case. This guy and his son got sentenced to life in prison for trying to stop a thief from stealing their mororbike. Justice system are absolute scum!

So basically, if someone tries robbing you, you’re not aloud to defend yourself 😂

My car was broken into whilst on my drive, £700 laptop and cash taken, the police were called and did duck all there useless, I really don't know why we have them and they wonder why ppl take things into their own hands. Scum bags deserve everything they get unfortunately.

This is why Americans LOVE 2nd Ammendment. In Britain we are DEFENCELESS against burglars and Police care more about criminals than us public.

There seems to be a lot of backstory you don't get from this video. 1) These guys by the sounds of it had been victims of burlgary/theft before and had been talking about violence against them repeatedly. They left the house armed with serious weapons made for combat. Apparently the son had a previous conviction for waving a machete at an ex. It sounds like these guys were not nice people, possibly psychos and this is a case of bad people meeting bad people. 2) The guy they killed was a disgusting POS with 66 previous convinctions in this case terrorising a neighbourhood trying to steal their hard earned things. And remember, they're only the ones he was caught AND convicted for - so he's tried this hundreds if not thousands of times. 3) This guy and his son were sentenced to life in prison. My conclusion is that the law is an absolute joke. Once again here is another POS career criminal which the justice system keeps letting back out to victimise more and more people. When someone finally stops him they get jailed for life? Why don't YOU do something permanent then? Why didn't YOU sentence him to 30 years for his 66th crime??? They expect citizens to just suffer endlessly while they do absolutely nothing to stop the criminals from victimising people over and over again. Yes in this incident it sounds like these guys simply murdered an unarmed man for a theft attempt. But the bigger picture is the system has resulted in one man dead and two men losing their freedom for a long time. We need a new system which criminals get a combo bonus sentence each time they commit particular crimes as adults so they end up with a choice of stopping or going to jail for decades.

How many rapist, child rapist, murderers and other GENUINELY evil people get about 1-5 years or suspended sentences ?

We had a spate of burglaries and car break ins around where I used to live 25 yrs ago and as usual, the police did nothing, didn't even turn up most of the time. If they did, they'd just smugly say "well you have car insurance don't you". There was a fella trying to set fire to a car at the back of the houses, luckily he was seen going down the back alley. He got battered half to death and got dumped over the fence to the railway lines in some bushes. The police weren't called and someone looked the next day and unfortunately he'd gone. I think it might of sent the right signal, because, strangely, we never had any issues in the neighbourhood after that.

This is why no one respects the police . You cant even defend your own property

Can someone explain why he doesn’t need a warrant doesn’t seem right surely it doesn’t matter if you had reason you would have a warrant

Notice how the police offer tries to get into the housr without actually telling the guy at the door why he needs to come in, then gets snarky and threatens to arrest him. Maybe if they did their jobs properly to begin with that guy wpuld still be alive as id bet my next paycheck he had a criminal history

Hide the body and dont involve the filth. Job done.

When the police fail to do there job properly the people take it into their own hands.

These two would have gotten manslaughter easily if the Father stayed silent and asked for a lawyer, now they both doing life sentences lol

Really hope these two guys have their sentences reduced at some point. No sympathy for the scumbag that met his end.

in the UK you can`t be safe in your own house, can`t defend either. All the laws in criminal favor, feel sorry for that country

In Spain, if you try to defend yourself or your family when someone is asaulting your home (even if they got guns/knives), if you defend yourself killing or hurting them, you will go 100% to jail. A man around 80y/o killed with a shotgun a robber that was wearing a gun, and this man now is at prison.... Our laws SUCK.

These two got life sentences a few days ago. I think if the guy was on their property trying doors then it’s fair game, stay off peoples property, don’t steal etc if it was on the main road and they followed him with the intention of seriously injuring him then thats a bit different. I think life sentences is way over the top for stabbing a career criminal that was about to commit more crime, if they called the police you would be lucky to get them there within a week, if at all.

And they wonder why they get called pigs…

"Does that make sense?" ---"Just about." lol.

I'm not going to feel sorry for Neil, he's a thief and he didn't really care about who he hurt or anything like that. I don't think David should have received a life sentence considering that it was the responsibility of the courts and the police to keep guys like Neil from doing what they do and they continuously failed to do that.

They should have got a medal not jail. They served justice and cleaned the streets.

Same here in the Netherlands, even worse. I use to have a colleague. She was a mom of 2(small child and a few months old baby when it happened ) 3 years before someone broke in to their house and came upstairs where they were all asleep. She woke up from them Breaking open the door. She kept a bat in her room. When 1 came upstairs she hit him untill he was on the ground. Trying to protect her babies ofcourse. Then called the police.. can you guess who they put in handcuffs and then locked up for 2 years for bodily harm?! 😑😑

He fatally stabbed someone there’s no defending him, he’s not the police you cannot go after people with lethal weapons especially when the car is not yours

Vigilante killer? That man defended himself. Your country is neutered.

Unbelievable, so someone defend themselves, property the street, he get arrested, what a country

Not a chance. This country is done can’t even protect yourself

Only two words you say to police, "No comment".

The law in the U.K. is always in favour of the criminals

Based on the evidence he deserves a medal.

This man was attacked and he defended himself

Don’t use knives people, use something blunt and hard. Really hurt them, but don’t kill them. They won’t go to the police and grass themselves up

We live in an evil world run by demons where right is wrong and wrong is right. This is disgusting. I am so glad that my British ancestors got the hell out of there in the 17th century. Bizzaro World isn't this weird and nonsensical ffs.

He basically talked himself into being arrested. Shut up and don't say a word.

Why are they blurring the cops???

The message here: 1) ALWAYS say 'No comment'. 2) Speak to the lawyer first. 3) ALWAYS say 'No comment' until you have spoken to the lawyer.

I see a lot of comments on here about how stealing a car doesn’t deserve a death sentence but something to think about…… when you steal anything that someone else has worked for, you are in fact stealing their life. The time put in, the sacrifices to attain those things is their life. So when someone comes along who takes those things because they can’t be bothered to work for it themselves, they have stolen life.

We've all heard the saying "better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6"...kill or be killed, shame that judges don't understand that sort of reasoning.

Typical on this stupid country. If someone tries to rob you . Give him everything and maybe lower your trousers give it to him your house keys money and maybe your wife or kids because this country law protects thief’s and criminals

only in the uk protecting yourself would be equal to "vigilantism"

His dad took the blame like a champ

King and Son now doing Life. 23 years before parole. 😂😂

Being obsessed with knives doesn't make you guilty of anything. If that were the case every American suspect would be guilty immediately. I think the young man from reading the reports has a great chance of appeal success. The Father is bangs to rights.

Actually, when you read up on the case (I'll post the link), the father and son had been obsessed with weapons for years and were dying to use them any chance they got. Their car got its wheels stolen and according to evidence they said they couldn't wait to stab and kill the guy who did it. Further, it turns out that they actually hunted the robber that they killed down, pursuing him well after he was any kind of threat to themselves of their property. In this instance, if you're two people hunting one other person down with a knife, far away enough that they are a threat to no one, they are the victim, not you. If someone broke into my house and I stabbed them, I would be right. But if someone tried to get into my car, and I chased them down the street into an alleyway with a samurai sword in order to stab them to death, that's excessive force. Perfectly reasonable to find the two men guilty of murder, but maybe a life sentence, to be honest, was too tough on them. Although the prosecution did point out that they were clearly itching to get an opportunity to kill someone, they may not have wanted to in the spur of the moment. However, neither the son or the dad felt any kind of remorse throughout the trial, maintaining that chasing down a thief throughout a neighbourhood only to kill them by stabbing was not an excessive use of force, which it was. Anyway, here is the link to the article by Suffolk Police: www.suffolk.police.uk/news/latest-news/bury-st-edmunds-two-men-sentenced-life-imprisonment-murdering-neil-charles

He made the mistake in thinking he could murk a guy wether being robbed or not! This is 🇬🇧 You’ll get charged/ convicted for trying to defend yourself! This guy seems vulnerable with no street knowledge, educate yourself and don’t end up in this man’s situation! Doing life for a nobody ain’t worth shih! 🙌🏼💯

Once thing is for certain: the POS (dead POS) will never steal another car.

Only the Dad stabbed him but the son got 19 years too....mental

He should not be in jail.

David got 21 years and son got 19 years,

You cant go around stabbing, murdering people who are trying to break into cars ....even though they are low life

Not allowed to defend your property. The UK is disgusting.

“He just ran at the knife I happened to be holding “

They chased the guy down and attacked him with a dagger and a 27" sword....so basically NOT self defence it was 2 on 1 both armed and wanting to kill. Both deserved there sentences 100%

The thing is you have to be near someone for them to use a knife on you what was he doing near him ?

In UK self defense and defense of property seems to be illegal. what a dystopian place to live.

He got 21 years, his son got 19 years, they left the house armed with a fighting knife and a ninja sword. The guy was wounded in the chest with the knife and in the leg with the sword. They didn't call the police before leaving the house. Bet they wished they didn't get so involved with a guy trying other people's car doors.

Both son and father were sentenced to a minimum of 19 and 21 years for killing a thief who was in the act of trying to steal stuff. The father might die in prison. The son gets out when he is grown man. And he didn't even do anything.

Keep your mouth shut around the state guard dogs.

Absolute legend, we need far more vigilante killers - what is the excuse for arresting him???

Welcome to uk the criminals do as they please and the police have their full support

HIM AND HES SON GOT A LIFE SENTENCE FOR THIS .............................Keep your mouth shut !!!

Never say anything to police ,during arrest use your right to remain silent untill you get a solicitor .

Feel bad for this guy.

Have you got a warrant? Really….

Well the rat won’t be stealing anything else now will he. 1 down………..

Never ever talk to the cops without a lawyer.

The guy shoulda kept his mouth shut and not talked to the cops! NEVER talk to the Old Bill until you`ve got a solicitor. Thieving scum deserve their fate!

Whilst the death of this career thief is no great loss to society, what an earth were these two thinking, did they actually think they would get away with this? Have they basically in their minds just justified 20 years each inside for killing somebody who was trying some door handles

vigilantes are some of the most selfless people ever, they do what the police unfortunately dont have the power to do, and they do it at the risk of ruining their own lives, hats off to this vigilante and any others :)

Under common law it has to be proportional. You can only use the level of force required to kill someone if you had a real belief you were about to be murdered yourself. He should have just knocked the guy out and rang the cops.

this is the problem with the country

The male, had not posed any physical threat to the man, as he was outside. The man took it upon himself to pick up a steak knife inside his home, and take it outside with him. He could have called the police, it was not in self defence as he was safe in the house.

If ever there was a time to invoke that right of silence. As soon as they said I'm under arrest, zip

I know how he feels sometimes a man's got to do what a man's got to do.

In this country you get sentenced for protecting your family and your assets.

“WELL DAVID WOULD NEVER HAVE GONE OUT IF PEOPLE WERE NOT SNOOPING. WHERE IS THE JUSTIFICATION TODAY.”

He still cries himself to sleep every night in prison

If someone was to do this to the royal family, ride into them with a bike and ask for a lighter what would happen?

Disgusting he should be given a medal

David King definitely went a bit too far with his actions. David stabbed the thief twice as cold revenge for the thief trying to steal his car. However, i dont feel sorry for the thief. He was a bad person who paid the ultimate PRICE for stealing. I certainly like David and i do feel that its a shame that he overreacted. David is a great vigilante - but he definitely got a bit carried away on that fateful day.

Its murder,you don't stab people who are not threatening you....

Report a live burglary on Monday police will be there a week Thursday.

It's rather sad that when people kill someone in the act of self defence it seems to me that they get treated worse than the perpetrator of the incident. It won't be murder I think but manslaughter the big mistake the person made was taking a kitchen knife outside. I also feel that if the incident was indoors a better justification for defending yourself with a knife will be heard in a more lenient way by the court

Protecting you and yours is now a 'serious offense'? Fvcking ridiculous. Defund the police.

Mistake 1 - went out with a knife. The simple rule these days is stay indoors and don't get involved. If they break in to your home you have some better legal rights to protect yourself.

Man comes at you arrested for defending yourself. joke of a state.

I feel this will happen more as the police only seem interested in 'woke' crimes atm. I've lost trust in the police I'm afraid.

You reap what you sow unfortunately in the UK we are wet behind the ears and have to allow people to do what they want even if under threat, I had an intruder in my home who pushed my son over to get in the house I beat him and there was quite alot of blood at the scene he left, my partner took the children away from the situation when I went to leave police were there detained me and if the bloke had of wanted to press charges then I would have been arrested, there is no justice in the UK.

"Does that make sense?" Um no but I don't really have a choice. 🤣

Look how zealous these pommy cops are when arresting one of their own defending themselves, but watch them shrivel up when dealing with immigrants.
