Armed robber dies after eight people sit on him

An armed robber died in a bungled jewellery shop raid when eight have-a-go heroes sat on top of him until police arrived, a coroner heard.
Clint Townsend stopped breathing when the shoppers piled on top of him in a 'melee' at Oxford's historic Covered Market.
The 33-year-old, who was wearing motorcycle gear and a helmet, had smashed the window of a jewellery shop repeatedly with a sledgehammer, before wrestling with the store's manager and owner.

And no he wasn't, in case anyone asks.

Fantastic news. And if he was English we won't have thousands taking to the streets. Result.

His last words, after one of the have-a-go-heores told him he wasn't very comfy, were "NO, I'M BLOODY WELL NOT!"

Have a look at some of the comments on the article. Here is one:
I can't believe some of the comments on here thinking it is ok for the death of this person by all of these people, and this one man being smothered to death is ok. Yes he was committing a crime, there were already people restraining him and then more people come by, members of the public to come and sit on this man. And across his chest! How is this right. He was trying to get away. The law is in place for a reason. It does not state you can kill. I do sympathise with the man committing the crime and his family. The people who decided to sit on top of him should be tried in court. How dare they think this is ok
What a complete arse!

As opposed to some of the comments on this thread that suggest death is a proportionate response to attempted robbery?
The sensible line lies somewhere in between; not glorifying in the death of an idiot, nor prosecuting those responsible for it.
