Idealism encounters reality with the usual harsh consequences.

Just think what In religion would ever get someone to grab a knife and stab random citizens. Then you’ll understand Islam. Eventually you get ISIS and the taliban

Jesus Christ walked the earth 2000 + years ago

I can’t think of one example of his followers in all of recorded history , ever do this or anything like it

A religion is ALWAYS based on its founder and HIS words and actions

I understand the need for second chances especially for minor offenses: getting caught smoking weed does not warrant life imprisonment. Especially when it’s a citizen. An undocumented immigrant should be deported.)

This was not a case of weed possession though, this man was terrorist. And he was let out. Inexcusably.

Every Pakistani Muslim in England is likely related to Sadik Khan.

No word on how this will impact the future of their prison-based education project.

I recommend the human wave tactic for prison rehab. Just keep throwing innocent victims at the problem until you overwhelm it. /s

He never figured he’d be the one to die if the compassion he lobbied for made a mistake.
Oops.

It seems the author is as blindly fanatical as the terrorist who murdered Mr. Merritt.

It is poetic justice that the cuck died and not a real patriot.

How unnecessary can a detainment for attempted capital crimes be?

There could not be a dumber lesson to learn than to look at this story about this misguided clown, this foolish article, and the social media attaboys his family is trying to get.

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

My guess is that it was not. Liberals will not give up their cherished romanticization of society because the alternative (to them) is worse than death.

True. Someone did a study of “minorities” in majority white countries, some of which practiced slavery (the US) and many who did not and found that in every country, “minorities” had higher criminal rates. This puts the lie to the Marxist sham that “minority” crime is due to the legacy of slavery, or discrimination or poverty, as Northern European countries, with high welfare allowances, can hardly be said to be impoverished.

Stupidity of his level kills.

Definitely - in committing crimes!
