Terrorist in London knife attack had been lecturing woke university leftists all about criminal justice 'reform'
2019-12-01
Bet the room woke right up when he went all stabby. Too bad they won't learn anything
[AmericanThinker] So many things wrong with this picture just to start.

The worst though was the fact that the terrorist
...that’d be Usman Khan...
was not just let out on a much undeserved parole, he was busy lecturing the leftists at Cambridge University at a conference, participating in "workshops" on his supposed prison rehabilitation, the leftists eating it up and calling for more such "reform." He was one of their leaders and they were taking it from him.

Here's the London Telegraph's report:

The event at the centre of the London Bridge attack was an alumni celebration for an organisation run by academics from the University of Cambridge.

Learning Together was set up in 2014 by Ruth Armstrong and Amy Ludlow, from the Faculty of Law and Institute of Criminology.

It brings together people in criminal justice and higher education institutions.

The attacker, who was on probation and wearing a tag, is understood to have been invited to share his experiences as a former prisoner.

Academics and criminal justice campaigners had tweeted excitedly about the day ahead as they gathered at the Grade II listed Fishmongers Hall, just off London Bridge, to celebrate Learning Together’s fifth anniversary....


Seems that coddling and cossetting terrorists like these as warm, fuzzy, cuddly 'victims' who need reparations from society for their time in the can doesn't work out the way they say it will work out.

You can bet the leftists involved in this sham will refuse to take any responsibility for the two people now dead that their coddling led to. They'll keep calling for letting these beasts out of the can because dead people can always be dismissed easily.

#12  We could create the order of the Jaw of an Ass in Israel.

So many asses, with so many jaws — but only a few are real, live donkeys, g(r)omgoru.

#11  Interesting. The "active shooter training" given here at U Wisconsin at Madison said "Run/Hide/Fight," and emphasized that throwing a wastebasket was better than doing nothing.

#9  Also called the 'Flee Cower Squeal' Memo in some circles. Apparently he belonged to one of these.

#8  Apparently Narwhal Guy didn't get the Run Hide Tell memo. "Right, I'll run hide and tell after I beat this guy to death."

#6  Samson had sooper powers. The Ox Goad of Shamgar would be apt as a civilian valor award.

#4  Maybe this could revive a grand tradition of recognizing heroism with artifacts from great deeds of the past.

I could see Her Majesty's government creating an Order of the Narwhal.

The ceremony would involve the Sovereign administering a light tap o' the tusk on each shoulder for the kneeling recipient.

#3  I love it that the special team had to tear off the youngster with the tusk, to shoot the Usman.

I wish that kind of testicular Conanliness for every one of our citizens. Well... at least â…“rd of them.

#1  Unbelievable.

Agree 100% with Thomas Lifson that the Soros- and BLM-driven criminal justice 'reform" movement is evil and needs to be shut down.
