London Bridge hero wins early release from jail: Convicted killer who tackled terrorist with narwhal tusk is given parole

Convicted killer who brought down terrorist Usman Khan has been directed for early release from prison

Steven Gallant was jailed for life with minimum term of 17 years in 2005 for the murder of a firefighter in Hull

He was one of three men who restrained Khan until armed police arrived at the scene in November 2019
Both men were at the Fishmonger's Hall seminar as reformed prisoners, though clearly Mr. Khan wasn’t reformed at all. Mr. Gallant was the hero who snatched a 5 foot narwhal tusk off the wall and helped corner the jihadi on London Bridge until the police arrived.

#1 He never should have been in jail.

#2 Note:IF I read correctly ...prior to this Heroic Act he was convivted of killing a fireman in 2005 with a 17 year min sentence. So 2005 +17 = 2022 and this happened in 2019?

#3 Should have at least released him on bail.
"But how will we know where he is?"
"He will be in the pub, with people buying him drinks."

#4 To copy M. Murcek, He never should have been in jail.

#5 He probably violated his parole by brandishing a deadly tusk.

#6 Pulled from the pile by a previously unimagined narwhal tusk just for this occasion...

A true blue harpooner of Salem,
He really liked whales. Dude, he'd nail 'em.
We fainted at seeing
That ardent Fijian
Rebuffed, and the monster impale 'im!

#7 He very clearly belonged in jail when he was first sent there. He equally clearly seems to have chosen the better path even before this event, so should be rewarded for it. On the third hand, if he should return to former misbehaviour...

#10 Awakes a young man with three hands
And three feet and some wings. If he stands,
Will he veer to the right,
Or fight "whiteness" and light,
An "antifa" Ungeziefer? Eh, Franz?
[he chirps cheerful songs like... that guy's]
