It is too bad that he died, but he died because he was wrong about the nature of the terrorists and criminals he and his colleagues romanticized. That's what we should not forget.

Heres his masters thesis.
The perp was released from prison early from a terrorism conviction.

Jack is dead because he was stupid.
That is the lesson.

Both victims were prisoner reform advocates. The second was a female, named as Saskia Jones, 23. They had been attending an event to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Learning Together, a prison-based education project where they paraded Usman Khan as an example of the program's effectiveness.
Like King Kong in New York City, Khan chimped out and went a little stabby on the locals.
No word on how this will impact the future of their prison-based education project.

Reminds me of the story about the frog and the scorpion crossing the river. The scorpion riding on the frog since he could not swim and the frog could. The frog plead with the scorpion not to sting him as they crossed because they both would die. Half way across the river, the scorpion strikes the frog. The frog asks, “Why?” The scorpion replies, “I could not help myself.” A terrorist is a terrorist, is a terrorist. Join the frog at the bottom of the river.

The injustice of somebody murdered while organizing for criminal justice feels impossibly sharp. Jack was in a room of people, some on day release from prison, discussing possibilities for penal reform. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Jack, a well intentioned man, died of an affliction of liberal ideology.
That alone should be a message, but of course, the current crop of liberal progressives in the UK and their whole penal reform movement are suckers of the highest order when it comes to jihadis, who play them like a fiddle.
In this case the music was deadly, and until the penal systems in the UK starts dealing with jihadis as nationless soldier/terrorists not covered by the Geneva Convention, this incident is guaranteed to repeat itself.
At least the perpetrator was properly disposed. If he were still alive they would be falling over themselves to feel his pain and discover what they had done wrong in the way they treated him;very sick people altogether who do not realize a war is being waged against their civilization.
The incident should fuel BREXIT as if a nuclear pile.

Libs....theyre full of understanding and forgiveness about anyone. Unless youre conservative One of my fav stories to tell is a sacred bleeding heart social worker who decided to intervene with a hostile killer in a certain state hospital." Leave ____ alone,HANDS OFF I have a repertoire."
So we took our hands off and _____ grabbed that lovely woman by the throat danged near strangling her to death. Oddly, that social worker pressed charges and demanded kind hearted ways to put that "____ing animal" to death.

This story reminds me of that couple who went to Eastern Europe to ride bikes and to prove that we are all “good people”. They were murdered.

Dear Emma:
Tell it to Sadiq Khan. I’m sure he’ll express “sincere regrets”, and then re-iterate that diversity is strength.

It is too bad that he died, but he died because he was wrong about the nature of the terrorists and criminals he and his colleagues romanticized. Until us Infidels realize the behavior of a Muslim Jihadist is religiously motivated, we will continue to address the symptoms, and avoid facing up to the cause. - Tom
