    Martial arts expert kills two raiders

    ...

    Magistrates in the central Italian town of Empoli are now seeking to establish whether his self-defence constituted an excessive use of force.

    ...

    Disappointed by their meagre booty, the attackers allegedly threatened to rape the two women unless they told them where the rest of their money was hidden.

    At this point the doctor managed to free himself, seize a knife from one of the aggressors and deliver a series of lethal stab wounds.

    Once again proof that the entire continent of Europe is a barbarian area. If the robbers had actually raped the hairdresser and got away I wonder what they would have faced? But if someone dares to defend themselves, even with the weapon the burglars brought in this case, they go to jail immediately! This guy should get a medal. Too bad he does not live in the US; they'd make him an air marshall or something!
