[Red State] As RedState reported when it happened, an Islamic terrorist killed two people on the London Bridge via a knife attack earlier in the week. The attacker was eventually taken down by some self-less civilians who risked their lives to physically bring the man to the pavement. You can see video of that here. Police would eventually kill Usman Khan.But if anyone was wondering whether there was forewarning of this possibly happening, it turns out Khan was already a convicted terrorist and inexplicably was allowed to walk free after pledging his transgressions were just "immaturity."
Khan would be let go by a judge, taking in his declaration of being a changed man as evidence enough of his rehabilitation into society.
This is insanity and naivete on a grand scale. Khan was literally convicted of helping plan a major terrorist attack. There was no question he was involved and intended to be part of it. Yet, many European nations (and in America) continue to hold the ridiculous view that these are just misunderstood human being who would otherwise be fine if they just had a better job or something. Islamist ideology is not easily defeated, and when you have droves of people coming in who hold it, it should be no surprise that their barbarism comes with them.
The decision to release Khan didn’t come from the lower levels either. It was signed off by the Ministry of Justice and the terrorist was released after serving just half his sentence. Now, two people are dead because of that decision.
And just in case you wanted another example of how bonkers the UK justice system is, one of the people who helped tackle Khan was a convicted murderer himself, out on day release.
