Horrible thing to experience. Being subject to an armed (assuming it was, difficult to imagine they weren’t tooled up) burglary whilst present at the scene (which can easily escalate into an armed robbery in the home) is a truly terrible thing to endure. People who participate in this awful crime are almost exclusively hard, charmless, ruthless and highly materialistic. And men. It takes a certain type of single mindedness and ambition to conceive of such a thing in the first place, knowing what may be required to happen for the burglary to succeed.
These people will usually do what it takes to get their prize. They would prefer it to be drama free, but will switch to ‘terrorise and torture’ mode if things don’t go exactly to plan.
I hope Jack’s family can get past this. And be grateful that none of them were harmed.
From all I hear from people I know around Birmingham, is that they are a lovely family. And I also know people who lived near Jack in Barnt Green, who all spoke very highly of him as a neighbour and person, including a United fan I know who said he was the nicest guy you could ever meet. Said Jack’s always got time for people. Said he has a real gift to make people happy.
Never got the hate some blues palpably have for him.
Lastly, I so hope the cunts who did this are caught and convicted.
