The difference between being a subject or a citizen really isnt very important in actual terms... it doesnt effect my everyday life at all.
One guy was running away, the other guy more seriously wounded and Martin shot him. Tony Martin had previously stated that Hitler had the right idea in killing gypsies in gas chambers...
You may choose to present him as a poor elderly man defending his house (which had been burgled many times) I see an intolerant racist killer, who acted out of vengence and rage, he did not kill to defend himself, he killed to revenge himself on the people he saw as persecuting him (with the continual break ins on his property)
And yes, I must tell you that the majority of the British people do believe that burgulars have a right not to be murdered... I believe this, and I believe that most people agree with me. You do not have a legal or a moral right to kill someone just because they break into your house.
