Plus of course a shoplifter isn't an armed robber so you are stretching it a hell of a lot.

Well that is how it was reported years ago.

Well there you go, don't believe everything you read "as reported" by the media.
So any actual details on specifically why the judge said it wasn't reasonable force in that instance?

If you want anther one go for that welsh bloke who rugby tackled one thief, reasonable force, and beat the crap out of the other thief with a fence post breaking both his legs and an arm, also reasonable force.
