he was wrong about the nature of the terrorists and criminals he and his colleagues romanticized.

He was wrong about nothing. He wasn't responsible for the release from prison of this jihadi.......

THIS is the definition of Instant Karma. Horrible to say, but he EARNED his own demise.

The men from the prison dressed up for the occasion, hair slicked back and shirts tucked in.

TOTALLY sincere, just like

If he could speak from the grave he would still advocate for the criminal that killed him & his liberal beliefs that infect Western society.

Liberalism is a death-cult.

So this wasn’t a random terrorist attack it was targeted. Well Jack, this guy didn’t see things your way.

“Over-representation”

What nonsense.

Mr. Khan, who was attending the conference...

How nice of the author to she “mr. khan” such respect by addressing him as such.

I wonder if he’ll call his own killer “mr.” when the time comes.

“My son, Jack, who was killed in this attack would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily.

How does the father know this?

Maybe his last thought was, 'I WAS WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING!'

No doubt they will rename a room at the prison The Merritt Center for Forgiveness and Reconciliation. Probably post a tablet his poem as well. Hid friends and like minded people will be gratified and inspired. In short he will be canonized a martyred progressive secular saint.
