victim stabbed 56 times and killer let out to attend event after two years. law and disorder

So ya think injustice rules in the USA with regard to the Criminal Justice System?
Ha.  Take a look at this bit of lunatic asylum thinking on the part of authorities here.

If you take the time to read the comments after the article at the link, you will see more evidence of how little public opinion and desire are thought of. And this isn’t new. It’s only the latest in a long line of outrages. And yet many here (on the left of course) still go on and on about the large number of citizens who are “incarcerated” in the USA.  Ignoring that many are not citizens at all. Still though ... this really does beat all.
Is it now okay to say, Only in England?  But then, that wouldn’t be entirely true either. Would it?

I will never, ever understand this kind of thing.

Tough justice? Killer who stabbed love rival 56 times is let out for wedding and a half marathon just two and a half years after being jailed

Karla Biddle, 34, jailed for seven years in 2009 after she killed her ex-fiancé’s new girlfriend
Friend of victim’s family: ‘They are struggling to cope as it is. To see pictures of her enjoying herself so soon after being sentenced for a brutal crime is devastating’

A killer who stabbed her love rival 56 times was at the centre of a prison investigation today after being photographed at a wedding and running a half-marathon.

Karla Biddle, now 34, was jailed for seven years in 2009 after she knifed her ex-fiancé’s new girlfriend Emma Bradshaw in a frenzied attack the previous year.

The family of Miss Bradshaw condemned the sentence earlier this month when it emerged that Biddle is due to be released from prison this week after serving just two years and eight months inside.

But the latest pictures are sure to pile fresh hurt on the grieving family.

They show a smiling Biddle posing in a pink party dress at a wedding in Co Sligo, Ireland, this September. The killer looks on as other guests enjoy a chocolate fountain.

Biddle has also been photographed grinning while running the Birmingham half marathon and joining a Race For Life charity run.

The prison service is now investigating whether Biddle, from Yardley, Birmingham, breached her licence by attending a wedding in the Irish Republic.

Prisoners are not normally given permission to travel overseas while on licence.

If she has been found to have breached the conditions of her licence she would be sent back to prison to continue serving her sentence.

After seeing photos of the killer at the wedding and running events a Prison Service spokesman said: ‘We do not comment on individual prisoners, but if prisoners breach their licence in any way, they will be subject to disciplinary proceedings and are likely to be moved to closed conditions.’

The victim’s devastated family said they were ‘disgusted’ by the photos.

Will We Ever Get There?

Appeals Court Overturns Michigan Civil Rights Initiative

Eliminating Affirmative Action is an “impermissible burden” to Minorities

The rest of us call that a “level playing field”




A divided federal appeals court [ the 6th Circuit ] on Friday struck down Michigan’s controversial ban on consideration of race and gender in college admissions.

The 2-1 panel at the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals concluded the voter-approved ban on “preferential treatment” at state colleges and universities was unconstitutional, and “alters Michigan’s political structure by impermissibly burdening racial minorities.”

The issue is likely to renew the national, political and legal debate over affirmative action, which the Supreme Court could be poised to resolve in the coming months.

The affirmative action ban was passed five years ago in a referendum and was added to the state’s constitution, barring publicly funded centers of higher education from granting “preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.” That prompted a series of lawsuits and appeals from various groups.

How about that? The federal court system has just ruled that Michigan’s state constitution is unconstitutional! And dismissed the will of the people of that state!

The issue comes after the justices in 2003 ruled that while Michigan universities could use race as a factor in choosing which students to admit, they could not make race the determining factor in deciding whether applicants are accepted.

The appeals court has now said the Michigan law violated the Constitution’s equal protection laws.

Yes, you really did just read that. One of the highest courts in the nation made the convoluted statement that a State’s constitutional amendment that demands equal protection is a violation of the equal protection clause. Affirmative Action is deliberate discrimination based on non-contributory factors. Preferences given for certain colors and genders in lieu of ability. Just like the nonsensical “hate crimes” that over protect certain groups, Affirmative Action creates a special class of citizens who have more rights than you do. And that’s equal protection

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said today he will appeal a court ruling that overturned the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, which bans the use of race and gender preferences in college admissions and government hiring and contracting.

Schuette said he will make a formal request for a rehearing with the appeals court, a move that will keep the civil rights initiative — known as Proposal 2 — in place at least temporarily.

“MCRI embodies the fundamental premise of what America is all about: equal opportunity under the law,” Schuette said in a statement. “Entrance to our great universities must be based upon merit, and I will continue the fight for equality, fairness and rule of law.”

A federal appeals court today overturned Proposal 2, saying the voter-approved measure harms minorities and is unconstitutional.

The 2006 law forced the University of Michigan and other state schools to revise their admission policies. In a 2-1 decision, the judges ruled that the law violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

The court in particular objected to the inclusion of the voter-approved ban in the Michigan Constitution in its 59-page ruling.

“Proposal 2 reorders the political process in Michigan to place special burdens on minority interests,” judges R. Guy Cole Jr. and Martha Craig Daughtrey said.

The ban, passed with 58 percent of the vote nearly five years ago, affected government hiring as well as college admissions.

In 2008, a federal judge in Detroit upheld the law, saying it was race-neutral.

Jennifer Gratz, who headed the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative ballot proposal, said she doesn’t think the ruling is going to stand long term because the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled initiatives than ban ran preferences are constitutional.

“To me, this is the epitome of an activist court. These justices held onto this ruling for years and released it the day before the holiday weekend. They were hoping they would catch people off guard and not make the news,” said, Gratz, director of the American Civil Rights Institute, a California-based group that advocates against affirmative action.

Ward Connerly, a former University of California regent who was a major backer of Proposal 2 and California’s similar Proposition 209, said the ruling means the people have no right to govern their own institutions.

“It’s saying the people have no right to insist that everyone be treated equality. It places the ultimate decision in the hands of the university — that they are supreme ones,” Connerly said by phone from California. “It’s a terrible, terrible decision that will not stand.”

Michigan’s ban on affirmative action — covering both government hiring and admission to public colleges and universities — was made part of the State Constitution after a 2006 voter initiative that passed by 58 percent to 42 percent. It was known as Proposal 2 and prohibited public institutions from giving “preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.”

The voter initiative followed the Supreme Court decisions, which found that while the University of Michigan could not set quotas for certain racial groups, or give them extra points, in undergraduate admissions, it could consider race as one factor in the holistic law school admissions process.

The 59 page court decision in .pdf format is here, wherein we find the words of the hateful Prop 2 now found unconstitutional. As you read those hateful words, bear in mind those other words, the ones from the Declaration of Independence as we head into the 4th of July weekend:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, ...”
Here they are. Surely it takes an activist, living-Constitution, elitely superior liberal mind to see the blatant inequality in that amendment:

Proposal 2 amended the Michigan Constitution by adding the following pertinent
provisions to Article I—titled “Affirmative action”:
(1) The University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University, and any other public college or university, community college, or school district shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting.

(2) The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.

(3) For the purposes of this section “state” includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the state itself, any city, county, any public college, university, or community college, school district, or other political subdivision or governmental instrumentality of or within the State of Michigan not included in sub-section 1.

To unenlightened evil conservative minds like mine, the above is the clearest possible statement of equal protection I think I have ever read. Sorry I is so stupit.



My aunt was a school teacher. She started teaching back in the late 60s in a small town school in almost-rural Georgia. Her students were mostly black kids. They had just about nothing in the way of books or school supplies, and she had to fight the prevailing powers to get them what they needed. That was a very long time ago. 17 years ago I spent the summer at my university, and I was amazed that my little school in the wilderness suddenly was wall to wall black kids when the weather got warm. Yet not one of these kids was in any of my classes. They were all incoming Freshmen, spending the summer beforehand taking remedial courses. The school also provided them mentors and free tutoring. The few who did make it to graduation had first pick of the jobs. In New Jersey we have a thing called Abbot Schools, which are a special kind of gold label inner city schools that get massively larger amounts of funding than another other schools in the state. Guess who attends them?
From kindergarten to grad school, the educational system has turned itself inside out to give blacks every possible leg up. And they still need special laws to get into schools?

I will be the first to say that, yes, once upon a time Affirmative Action was a necessary evil. That was 40 years ago. An entire generation of minorities have been through the educational system since then, and their children as well. 40 years worth. And being a minority is a distinct advantage in the jobs market, especially the corporate one. We even have an Affirmative Action President, elected for no reason other than half his heritage (because the election had nothing to do with race you know).

When is enough ever going to be enough? Our entire society caters to the whims, needs, and sensitivity of black people. They have help in all things from cradle to grave. And yet they’re always the victims, no matter how accepted everyone else tries to make them. We’ve removed all the glass ceilings and lowered all the bars right down into the mud, but that’s not enough. When will they ever be equal again, after being superior for all this time?

My wife is furious about this decision. “If I were black” she says “I’d be &^#+ing insulted! Where the hell is Al, or Jesse, speaking up about this? It’s a slap in the face to every minority in the country: we have to baby you, even by law, because you aren’t good enough.”

Isn’t she the greatest?

CONCESSION TO TERRORIST and the crime is we aren’t surprised

From Barking Moonbat to Barking Mad.  Maybe that should be howling mad. Whatever.
image

From the riots in Canada to the madness of this story, it’s clear that the western world has lost the thread. Brit public not too happy about this BUT, the story is now over, there aren’t any street protests, no riots and nobody even doing as much as with holding taxes. Which of course would only see em in jail.
I don’t understand how the barking-berk of a judge could see things in the way he did.  But perhaps as a lawyer he sees things in twisted ways the average person can not.  And from what some of you have written about some things in the USA, we aren’t too far behind the Brits in legalistic lunacy.

From where I view things, this is totally incomprehensible.  Did this terrorist scum bucket bring things on himself? Or maybe not. It was racism and islamophobia, right? Nothing at all to do with his very own actions, but the Brit public is responsible for his well being and the right to see family and have friends. Something the rat would happily deny anyone not of his pov on the world and religion.  Western democracy seems quite happy to keep the gun pointed at its own head.

Family of terror suspect given free travel tickets to visit him

By STEVE DOUGHTY

Taxpayers must pay train fares and taxi bills so that a terror suspect’s family can visit him after he was banned from the capital, a High Court judge has ordered.
imageimage

Mr Justice Simon decided that because the Islamic extremist has been barred from London under anti-terror laws, he had lost his family life and had no friends.
To compensate for the breach of his human right to a family life, the Government should provide tickets when his wife and two children go to see him.

His judgment amounts to a further extension of the reach of Article 8 of the European Human Rights convention, which guarantees the right to private and family life.

Under Labour’s Human Rights Act, Article 8 has been used to free criminals, prevent deportations, allow assisted suicide and bring in a privacy law.

The ruling means that the family of the terrorist will get help from the Home Office to pay £40-a-trip coach or railway fares between Tottenham, North London, and the Midlands where he is exiled. Taxpayers must also meet taxi costs at both ends.

The concession to the terrorist, known only as CD, was disclosed by Home Secretary Theresa May in a statement to MPs on terrorist control orders.
The suspect, who has dual British and Nigerian nationality, was exiled under an order taken out in February.

MI5 has stated he is ‘the leading figure in a close group of Islamic extremists based in North London’. He had gone to meetings and a training camp organised by Mohammed Hamid, a terrorist instructor who called himself ‘Osama Bin London’.

The failed bombers who tried to attack the capital on July 21, 2005 were also at the camp in Cumbria. Hamid is now serving an indeterminate jail sentence.
The Security Services told the High Court that CD had three years of ‘extremist training’ in Syria. Back in London, he had made ‘several attempts to procure firearms for potential attack plans’.

guy rapes, gets out of jail and … yeah. does it again. law and disorder.

As happens so often here, an article of maddening content comes along and even before I post it with my own take and or anger, one of our regulars posts a comment or two that’s right on the mark, on the subject of crime and punishment. Or as in this case, a total lack of it.

It’s this kind of thing that makes so many people have zero respect for the law and the courts.  In fact, there’s even more proof of that.

Recently, a young burglar broke into the home of an 80 year old woman with health problems.  She was sadly subject to strokes and she had one and died.
Since the criminal couldn’t have been aware of her condition, they didn’t bring manslaughter charges against him, and he was originally sentenced to 6months. So he went on Facebook and bragged about his short prison term.
Here’s what he wrote.

Liam Cunliffe , Is a happy bunni all I can say. DROPPED!! YAA X
The big 1 yaa haha x
Im only looking at 6 months haha bring it on easy! x

He ended up with two years and was quite surprised by the change of his term.

Here’s a comment from our Wardmom that sums up what many feel.

Meanwhile the killers and criminals are running amuck in our society - and then given plea bargains to get out of jail in no time at all. Tell me why at all a paedophile should ever, ever be released back into a society populated with children - or a murderer? Time in jail does nothing to ‘rehabilitate’ them nor make them less of a threat to innocent people. Kill them and free the people to not live in fear or danger. Toss the terrorists into that - and a few politicians - and the world would be a much better place.
Wardmama4

I suspect the majority of law abiding citizens feel the same.  But hell. Who listens to them?  It’s enough of a headache for politicians to keep their election war chests topped up, without having to worry about the petty concerns of those who are most at risk.

So anyway, here’s our latest WTF were they thinking.
Take a look.


Rapist released early attacked new victim within weeks


A rapist who was freed after serving just half his sentence sexually assaulted another woman weeks later.

By Mark Hughes, Crime Correspondent

Fabian Thomas, 23, was released in December last year after serving four years of an eight-year sentence for rape. He struck again in February, attacking a woman in a supermarket car park.

The Home Office is now investigating the case. It comes just weeks after Kenneth Clarke, the Justice Secretary, had to apologise following his defence of Government proposals to halve prison sentences for rapists who plead guilty early.

He suggested that some rapes were less serious than others. A Home Office spokesman said a review would be carried out into how Thomas was managed while on probation. But women’s groups and politicians seized on the case last night as an example of the consequences of letting rapists out of prison early.

Sadiq Khan, the shadow justice secretary, called on the Government to clarify its position on maximum sentences.

Angie Conroy, of Rape Crisis, said: “Letting him out early was an accident waiting to happen.”

Thomas’s first offence was on New Year’s Day 2006 when he twice raped and threatened to kill a girl, aged 17, in an alley in Taunton, Somerset.

He was sentenced in December 2006 to eight years in a young offenders’ institution. In December 2010 he was released and on Feb 20 he committed his second attack, when he attempted to rape a woman, aged 19, in a supermarket car park while brandishing a hunting knife and wearing a balaclava.

He admitted the attack at Plymouth Crown Court on Monday and will be sentenced at a date yet to be set.

can forgery ever be considered merely, simulation? a new legal twist?

Try and get your head around this one.  It could qualify as one of Drew’s puzzles.
If anyone out there understands this, will you please take the time to explain it to me as I often tend to be slow on this sort of thing.
Or ... is it as I think it might be, the usual lunacy for which there is no explanation.
OK I understand they are his kids. Got that. But still.  This is so outrageous it is mind boggling. What even more mind boggling is the claim that a court decided that forgery wasn’t forgery. Oh no. Get this people.  It’s a SIMULATION!

Go figure. 

Take a look.


Woman had two children after secretly taking ex-husband’s frozen sperm

A father was forced to pay his ex-wife £100,000 so she can raise two children she conceived without his consent after secretly taking his frozen sperm.

By Murray Wardrop
Daily Telegraph

The 57-year-old man had stored his sperm at a world famous fertility clinic after being told drug treatment for arthritis could make him infertile.
But two months after they separated, he says his former wife, 51, forged his signature and used her £25,000 divorce settlement to give birth to a son and daughter through IVF at the Bourn Hall Clinic, Cambridge.

The man only found out about the children three years later when his ex-wife’s sister phoned to say his son was critically ill in hospital. By then he had remarried and had two other children.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has had limited access to his children since then and spent almost £200,000 in ongoing legal battles with his ex-wife.

When she fell into debt caring for the youngsters, a judge ordered him to pay her £100,000 to help bring them up.

The father-of-four is now calling for a change in the law to ensure no other parents suffer the same ordeal.
The man said: “I was stunned when I found out she had withdrawn my sperm without my consent because at the time we had split up and were going through a divorce.

“It was a deliberate act to bring two children into this world without a father to look after them. I was never at the clinic and I never signed the documents.
“I love the children and spend money on taking them out and buying them clothes, but it is an expense I shouldn’t really have. The cost of this has been huge.
“It is scary to think how little control I had over it all. I just can’t understand how they believed her. The stress of it all has turned my life upside down.”

The man stored sperm at the clinic in 1999, to ensure that he and the woman, who he married in 1979, could still have children together, should arthritis drug treatment render him infertile.
They divorced in June 2000 but just weeks later she visited the clinic and forged his signature, allowing doctors to create embryos from his frozen sperm and her egg.

She gave birth to their daughter in June 2001 before returning to the clinic and giving birth to their son in September 2003.
The man, who remarried in 2002, was forced to tell his 32-year-old wife, with whom he has two daughters aged eight and seven, about his other children.

He said he first met the children - now aged nine and seven - after his ex-wife contacted him saying their daughter had asked to see her father.
The man said when the children began asking his ex-wife where they had come from, she told them “the freezer”.

Initially, he was only allowed to see the youngsters in a contact centre but fortnightly home visits are now permitted and they enjoy a harmonious relationship with his other children, the man said.
He added: “My new wife has been amazing about it all. She speaks to my ex-wife to do the best for the children but it has put a strain on our relationship.

“This has affected many lives, including the four children, and it is something that will be a strange situation for us for the rest of my life. “
In 2007, the same judge who ruled in their first divorce hearing, ordered the man to pay his ex-wife £100,000, on the grounds that the previous settlement did not take the two children into account.

When asked about her actions, his ex-wife said: “I don’t believe I have done anything wrong. It was getting later and later for me and I wanted to have a child.
“If I had not done it then I would not be blessed with my children. I have no regrets, I would do it again.”

She added that a court ruled it was a simulation rather than a forged signature.
Bourn Hall Clinic, which was founded in 1980 by IVF pioneers Patrick Steptoe and Professor Robert Edwards, declined to comment.

SOURCE OF STORY

This guy has been had. She’s not sorry. Course not. But damn, she should have been made to feel sorry. Like, an acid facial bath might have made her very sorry.  Barbaric?  Yeah maybe. But then I’m not too terribly civilized when reading stuff like this.  She surely deserves a “simulation” that might make her regret her actions. Which she committed 2wice.

cops and robbers .. latest score. txpayer 0, bad guys 2

A couple of item caught my old eyes. Both disturbing.

She’s never out of the spotlight and I can never see Jane Fonda without seeing red at the same time. I don’t know if I should continue to be angry at her, or the system that continues to reward treason. Both I guess but lets face it.  She isn’t gonna hide away in the dark someplace as long as she’s welcomed like royalty.

There was a very famous actor in his day, and I believe it was Lew Ayres I’m thinking about. It is. I checked. Anyway, he was anti war, he just didn’t believe he was capable of killing anyone and so in WW2, he joined the the Army Medical Corps and served in the Pacific theater. So he did serve his country, he did help to save lives and did not go over to the other side and smile for cameras posing on guns shooting at Americans.
If Fonda was all that moral (and she never was) she could have volunteered to train as a nurse and help save lives. Oh wait, that was another generation.
So anyway, this is what happens to me every time I see her.  After WW2, Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose spent time in jail for making radio broadcasts for the enemy.
Jane poses with enemy troops all smiles and gets more work in movies, modeling and recently as cover girl for Loreal ( L’Oreal) cosmetics.

The other thing that caught my ever roving eye was the following loony tune decisions by courts with regard to a couple of criminals. It just defies reason and logic how judges and lawyers and the establishment in genera, can expect the populace to feel good about their legal system, much less hold it in respect.
How can one possibly respect any system anywhere that comes up with these judgments. 

In one case, a burglar with a very long record has escaped jail because he “suffers” “an obsession with cleanliness” the result of obsessive compulsive disorder.

Take a look.


Burglar with a cleanliness obsession is spared jail… because he’d find it too dirty

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

He’s got a string of previous convictions as long as your arm. But crime isn’t Nathan Cassidy’s only compulsion.
The serial burglar has an obsession with cleanliness – and that condition has helped keep him out of prison.

The 20-year-old was allowed to walk free from court after he told a judge he would find jail ‘too traumatic’ because of his obsessive compulsive disorder.
Cassidy smashed his way into an elderly couple’s home while they were sleeping and stole a handbag containing £105.

The thief, who has 14 previous convictions for 29 crimes, committed the burglary while on a suspended sentence for robbery and handling stolen goods.
However, he avoided jail by convincing Cambridge Crown Court he would not be able to cope with life behind bars because he is obsessed with cleanliness.
Instead Judge Gareth Hawkesworth handed Cassidy, of Cambridge, a 12-month sentence in a young offenders’ institution, suspended for two years.
He was also placed under a two-year supervision order and ordered to undergo mental health treatment.

Judge Hawkesworth said: ‘It’s clear to me from the psychological report you have a raft of psychological problems that need addressing.’
Mark McDonald, defending Cassidy, told the court his client was not a normal prisoner because of his problems with OCD.
He said: ‘Because of psychological problems, including obsessive compulsive disorder in relation to cleanliness, custody would have a very traumatic effect on him – more so than it would on the average prisoner.’

source

He had accomplices on this latest venture who were also arrested. Like our main actor in this bad play, they too had records and in fact, one had breached a curfew order for the same things and another had 23 burglaries on his record BUT ..

While all three did plead guilty to burglary, not one admitted going inside the old couple’s house.  ??

I’m not a lawyer and perhaps it all depends on what you mean by “burglary.”

Think that’s bad enough?  Oh wait. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.  READ THIS ONE


Robber spared deportation because he has a girlfriend


Immigration judges have allowed a convicted robber to stay in Britain simply because he has a girlfriend in this country.

By David Barrett, Home Affairs Correspondent

The Sri Lankan was jailed for 15 months but fought off an official attempt to deport him to his homeland because he said his human right to a “private and family life” was not being respected as he was going out with a woman here.

The case will increase concerns over the ease with which foreign criminals use human rights legislation to stay in Britain – an issue highlighted by The Sunday Telegraph’s “End The Human Rights Farce” campaign.

Only the sketchiest details of the case were released by judges because of a policy which claims that naming foreign criminals who get to stay in Britain would put them at “potential risk” – a move condemned as a betrayal of open justice by politicians.

The unnamed man had first come to Britain, aged 13, in 2001, failed to gain asylum but was given exceptional leave to remain before he committed the robbery, of which no details have been published by the immigration tribunal system.

As well as refusing to name the criminal, the tribunal kept secret all details of the crime, where he lives in the United Kingdom and exactly how he reached this country.

The 22-year-old was convicted of robbery in December 2008, sentenced to 15 months in prison, and served with a deportation order by the Home Office.
He then fought an 11-month legal battle to be allowed to stay, first taking his case to an asylum and immigration panel, which backed him.
When the Home Office appealed he hired a high-flying barrister who had previously worked at the European Court of Human Rights.

The barrister, Claire Physsas, successfully argued that because he had a girlfriend in Britain, he had “established a private and family life”.

Judge Christopher Hanson said that even though the 22-year-old and his girlfriend of five years were no more than a “courting couple” he should stay in the country – and rejected a claim by the Home Office that because their relationship was “at some distance” it did not amount to private and family life.

In his written judgment, Judge Hanson conceded that the existence of a girlfriend did not amount to having a family, but ruled that the relationship, on top of “social ties” in Britain, meant that the robber had a “private life” which entitled him to stay in Britain.

Experts described the latest case as “absurd” and said it amounted to a “grotesque misuse” of the Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, while politicians warned that giving anonymity to criminals struck at the heart of the principle of open justice.

MORE HERE

Meanwhile .... Call Me Dave (Cameron), the Brit PM, is still insisting that civilians MUST be secure and protected (in other countries but not here) to which end he is spending millions.  Meanwhile, there are spending cuts which include the police who in one or two jurisdictions, have invited cops who were laid off to come back and volunteer to work for free.  Great system in place here innit?
And I’d be willing to bet it’s only marginally better stateside, cos the loons on the left have been busy undermining our system for years and years.

shrinks let him go free … innocent woman dies … lets hear it for shrinks

What’s wrong with the criminal system and immigration?

Left wing liberal attitudes towards crime and punishment and immigration.  The system at work in the western world seem to work for the wrong side.
Illegal immigrants committing crimes, sometimes violent ones, and we find that they can’t be deported because their rights may be violated. Never mind the rights on the common citizen going about their lives, who are at risk.
And then there are the nut cases who are put away for a short period only to suddenly be back on the streets, because some shrink has said they’re okay so long as they stay on their meds. Uh huh. And when they don’t?  How many times have you read that one?  Oh he’s a nice boy when he remembers his meds but he forgot this time and oops. Sorry about your dead sister,brother,mother etc. It’s all the result of mollycoddling the worst elements of society.
Look what’s happening just here in the UK. Forgetting anywhere else in the world.

Lying illegal immigrant who committed a string of crimes set to receive thousands in compensation for being ‘falsely imprisoned’

An illegal immigrant turned criminal is set for thousands in a taxpayer funded payout after judges ruled he was falsely imprisoned while awaiting deportation.

Joseph Mjemer, 28, arrived in the UK as a stowaway, committed more than 20 offences, used at least five aliases and claimed to be from four different countries.

But he is now set to be turned loose with a taxpayer-funded compensation payout - despite the judge admitting there is a risk that he could commit more crimes, or simply disappear.

Let off with a caution: The 3am intruder who attacked and terrorised farmer

By CHRIS BROOKE

When farmer Clifford Pearson was attacked by an intruder in his bathroom in the early hours, he acted instinctively and wrestled him to the ground.

Despite being naked, the 48-year-old held on to the man for ten minutes until police, who had been alerted by his girlfriend’s 999 call, arrived at the farmhouse.

But the couple were horrified to be told 12 hours later that the 20-year-old intruder had been given only a caution for common assault and was not being taken to court or punished further.

Their upset turned to anger when they discovered that police were ‘sweeping the incident under the carpet’.

Officers attempted to justify the decision by saying it was the man’s first offence, he had a ‘good job in the Army’, had no recollection of what he did and was intoxicated at the time.

Mr Pearson insisted the intruder did not smell of alcohol and was not drunk, was fully alert and because he entered his house in the middle of the night and assaulted him, the matter should have gone before a magistrates’ court.

He said: ‘He should have got a fine or a punishment of some sort in court.  We said we wanted him prosecuted and they just played the whole thing down.

‘A caution is not a punishment for entering somebody’s house at night, assaulting them in their own house and putting the fear of God in them. This just brings an early conclusion to the case, it tidies everything up very quickly and helps their crime figures. It benefits this man and not us.’

Now here’s one that should leave you scratching your heads. What are they thinking? And we haven’t gotten around to any killings yet. And in case you don’t know, 1p is one penny.

Serial burglar who faced three years in jail is fined just 1p
By ANDY DOLAN

Insulting: Michael Leslie received a laughable 1p fine after the bizarre decision by prosecutors

A convicted burglar who forced his way into an artists’ workshop was fined just 1p after a deal struck by prosecutors.

Michael Leslie, 29, was arrested after his DNA matched blood at the scene, where a laptop and chequebooks were found to be missing.

With two previous burglary convictions, he would have faced a mandatory three-year jail term if found guilty of the offence a third time.

But when prosecutors realised he was going to deny burglary but admit breaking in and falling asleep, they decided to charge him with an obscure and ancient vagrancy offence instead.

It is thought they wanted to secure a conviction but avoid a costly trial. As a result Leslie walked free with only a token fine.

The case emerged as the Sentencing Council – a body packed with judges and lawyers – published new guidelines instructing courts to tighten up punishments for burglars.

Last night one of Leslie’s victims described the decision as ‘a joke’. Artists at The Workshop, a first-floor workspace in Cowley, Oxford, said someone had got in through a ground-floor window.

The laptop and chequebooks were taken from an office on that floor before the intruder went upstairs and rifled through drawers.

But the most horrific crime in the last week has to be this.

British woman beheaded in Tenerife made desperate plea for help before attack

By Fiona Govan, Los Cristianos, Tenerife and David Barrett 8:30AM BST 15 May 2011

Jennifer Mills-Westley, the British woman beheaded in a Tenerife supermarket, tried to avoid her tormentor by taking refuge in an office doorway.

In this case, a Bulgarian immigrant sleeping rough and with a record of violent behavior, who recently also attacked another stranger on the street knocking out two of the victim’s teeth, was known to have a serious mental disorder.  Was he locked away? Well yeah. For a short time until the shrinks let him out.
The idea that people like this worthless whack job is human to begin with is ludicrous. 
Because Spain doesn’t have a death penalty and in any case a lawyer would of course argue diminished mental capacity, this piece of walking garbage will eventually be supported (never deported I’d bet) by the taxpayers there.  Is he worth it? Is life sacred where he’s concerned?
Running away waving the poor victim’s blood dripping head .... all because he wasn’t locked away long ago. And it all comes down to the attitudes and policies and legislation in western countries that have made a religion out of human and civil rights, while ignoring public safety and common sense.
Here’s the rest of this sad story.


The retired 60-year-old from Norwich was stabbed to death and beheaded in the horrific attack on Friday.

She alerted a security guard in the social security office that she had been subjected to “threatening behaviour” from an unwashed vagrant.

Her tormentor, a 28-year-old homeless man called Deyan Valentinov Deyanov, was well known in the popular holiday resort for his unpredictable and sometimes violent behaviour.

Mrs Mills-Westley waited for him to move on, and alerted a security guard in the social security office where she sheltered that she had been subjected to “threatening behaviour”.

It is unclear whether the Briton, a 60-year-old retired road safety officer from Norwich, was aware of the man’s dangerous reputation. After a few minutes Deyanov left and the danger seemed to have passed.

At about 10.15 on Friday morning Mrs Mills-Westley left the office doorway and walked to a Chinese-run discount store next door. Tragically, she there encountered Deyanov again and he attacked her, with grisly consequences.

Mrs Mills-Westley, who divided her time between Tenerife, Norfolk and France, was hacked to death by the Bulgarian, who reportedly claimed to be “a prophet of God” as he carried out the frenzied attack.
Relatives of Mrs Mills-Westley, a grandmother of five, arrived on the island yesterday as details of the gruesome attack emerged.

Deyanov, had left a psychiatric unit where he was reportedly being treated for paranoid schizophrenia in February. He was known among locals for his aggressive begging and outbursts of violence and had been picked up several times by police.
At the Port Royale complex of apartments where Mrs Mills-Westley had been a resident for at least 10 years, neighbours expressed shock and concern at the way the case of the dangerous assailant had been handled by the Spanish authorities.

A long-time friend and neighbour of Mrs Mills-Westley who was too upset to give her name said: “It’s shocking the man that did this had been let out of hospital. It shouldn’t have to be that you wait for something like this to happen before he gets locked away. He was obviously a danger.”

She added: “This is just awful. It’s too upsetting for words. I’ve known Jenny for more than 10 years, since she first moved out here.
“She was a lovely, bubbly person who appeared much younger than she was. She was back and forth to the UK and France to see her children and grandchildren.”

Mrs Mills-Westley owned two adjacent apartments in the development set on a peaceful hillside at the edge of Los Cristianos. She rented out one two-bedroom apartment and lived in the other. Similar properties are on the market for about £240,000.

Phil Gibbs, the owner of Premier management services at the complex, said: “She was a very nice lady. She wasn’t the kind of expat who spent a lot of time in bars. She was quiet and peaceful and always immaculately dressed. We are all horrified to hear what happened to her.”

The victim’s daughter, Sarah Mears, 41, from Newton St Faith, near Norwich, released a statement describing her mother as “generous of heart”.
“Mum was fully enjoying her retirement travelling between Tenerife and France where she spent time visiting her daughter and grandchildren, and her other daughter in Norfolk,” she said.

law and disorder but sure as hell and taxes, no justice here.

There isn’t anything wrong with the justice system here. It works very well and people need to get a life and stop bitching about it.
After all, killers and rapists and paedophiles and other useless pond scum, well, they need love and help too.  And especially taxpayer funded legal aid.

I think I’m gonna be sick.  Once the anger abates.

Take a look at this.


Killer who shot dead police officer granted £12,000 legal aid to fight for a cushier life in prison

By PAUL SIMS

· Ex-marine is held in underground secure unit
· Lawsuit could cost taxpayer £500,000, experts warn

A killer who gunned down a policeman in cold blood has been granted legal aid to sue the prison service for breaching his human rights.

Former U.S. marine David Bieber, 45, shot dead PC Ian Broadhurst on Boxing Day 2003 and, after two attempted prison breaks, is seen as one of the most high-risk inmates in Britain.

But he claims his status as a category-A exceptional-risk prisoner, which restricts his movements within County Durham’s high-security Frankland Prison, breaches his human rights.

Last night PC Broadhurst’s family attacked the decision to grant Bieber up to £12,000 in legal aid to mount his challenge at the High Court in London later this year.

His mother Cindy Eaton said: ‘I am very disappointed. I feel cheated and let down on behalf of my family. He chose to do what he did. This is the consequence and I don’t think he has any rights and it is letting us down if he is allowed these rights.

‘He has no idea about our pain. We live that. We can never go back to the life we had.’

Married PC Broadhurst, 34, had stopped Bieber in Leeds for a check on a suspected stolen vehicle. He was shot in the chest and, as he lay helpless on the floor, Bieber shot him again in the head at point-blank range.

Bieber, a steroid-addicted bodybuilder and drug dealer who was wanted in the U.S. for conspiracy to murder and had fled to the UK under an alias, also tried to kill two other officers at the scene.

In the most extraordinary passage, he complains about the ‘horrible effect’ the ‘foolish and disproportionate violence’ of his shooting had on him as well as the victim.

Bieber launched his legal challenge in October and has now been granted a judicial review to have his case heard at the High Court. Experts say it could end up costing the taxpayer £500,000 in legal fees.

This is the first time a category-A exceptional-risk inmate has challenged their status. If successful, it could open the floodgates for claims from other such inmates, including terrorists.

Former Detective Chief Supt Chris Gregg, who led the hunt for Bieber, said: ‘He is the most manipulative and dangerous criminal I have ever experienced. Given half a chance he would take any opportunity to escape and I dare say this is what his legal challenge is about.

‘He would kill or harm for his own purposes and the Prison Service will recognise that danger. He must never be downgraded.’

Neil Atkinson, from the National Victims’ Association, said: ‘This is the kind of mind-numbing madness that makes decent, law-abiding citizens despair of our criminal justice system.’

one of the sickest posts I’ve done, and one I want ppl to see.

How many more times, how many more crimes like this will be allowed, before the liberally correct ass wipes understand that ONCE is enough to earn the death penalty.  The very thought that this miserable excuse for a human could ever be free again is disgusting and frightening. WTF is it with ppl who think that criminals of this sort can ever be redeemed?  Never mind that. Even if one could, what about the lives they alter forever?

This is one of worst and sickest posts I’ve done since joining BMEWS. 
It’s an example though of the state of what is supposed to be a justice system.  What justice exactly?  What kind of justice is there for a 7 yr old boy who was assaulted and a four yr old brother who had to watch and was then assaulted also?  People will no doubt ask what could possibly be going through the mind of the rapist.  Who gives a shit?  What’s really of concern is what’s happening to the development of two young kids and what they think.
Why oh why does the criminal system allow a low life worthless rotten SOB to be on parole, when he has a record of crime?  Why can’t liberals get it through their fuckin thick heads that there are actually people who shouldn’t be allowed to breathe.  That actually deserve the final penalty of death. And NOT by injection. It should hurt! And especially in a crime like this.

Take a look.  If it doesn’t piss you off big time, you’re reading the wrong blog site.


Convicted paedophile freed to attack brothers aged 7 and 4 in McDonald’s toilet is jailed

By TAMARA COHEN
Last updated at 12:03 PM on 29th March 2011

Boys were out on a family lunch after attending church
At the time of attack, Simon Archer, 23, was on licence for sexual offences involving children

A paedophile freed on licence attacked two young brothers after their father had allowed them to go to the lavatory in McDonald’s by themselves.

Simon Archer lay in wait as the boys, aged just seven and four, went in together, just yards from where their family were sitting in the restaurant.

In a horrifying attack, Archer, 23, raped the elder boy and sexually assaulted his younger brother.

Their terror only ended when the younger boy collapsed crying on the floor but the ordeal continues to have a devastating effect on their lives.

Only weeks earlier Archer had been released midway through a jail sentence for previous child sex offences and was on strict licence conditions prohibiting him from being alone with children. 

Yesterday Judge Michael Carroll jailed Archer for an indeterminate period, and said he was a ‘dangerous sexual predator’ who may never be released.

The boys, from a religious family who had spent the morning together at church, were so traumatised they said nothing to their father at the time, Woolwich Crown Court in London was told.

Their ordeal only came to light several days later when the boys’ mother suggested returning to the restaurant in Welling, Kent, as a treat and her sons became upset and refused to go in. 

Based on a description from the boys, police found CCTV footage showing bare-chested Archer going into the bathroom just after spotting the children enter at around 2.30pm on July 4 last year.

Judge Carroll said: ‘The father allows the children, as all fathers do, to go to the lavatory unattended except with a sibling, when this happens.

‘A complete stranger walks in, commits these offences and walks out as cool as a cucumber. That kind of behaviour is heinous.’

He told Archer he would serve a minimum term of seven years before he could apply for parole and it was likely to be ‘many years’ before he was released.

He added: ‘You entered the McDonald’s looking for prey in your undoubted role as an extremely dangerous sexual predator. 

‘It is relevant to remark upon the fact you appear to have travelled some distance from your home and carried out these offences in a manner which suggests to me, planning and determination. 

‘Your demeanour upon leaving the scene of your abhorrent crimes shows an air of calmness which is chilling.’

A jury took just two hours to convict Archer of one rape charge and two sexual assaults last month

At the time of the attack, he had just served half of a nine-month sentence imposed in February 2010 at Ipswich Crown Court for engaging in sexual activity in the presence of children and asking them to perform sex acts.

In August 2009 he served half of a 22-week sentence for exposing himself to children. The offences were in London and Suffolk.

This followed an incident in 2007 in which he exposed himself to an 11-year-old which resulted in him being placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register and he spent time in a youth offenders’ institution.

Michele Elliott, of the charity Kidscape, said: ‘This is a horrible case.

‘If this man had been properly assessed as a danger after his previous offences, these two little boys would not have had to go through this, which will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

‘It’s an outrage, he should have been in secure accommodation and monitored. 

‘The father was absolutely right to let the boys go to the toilet together and should not feel guilty. This man should never be let out of prison.’

Archer, of Belvedere, Kent, who wore a red tracksuit in court, showed no emotion during the hearing.

Acting Detective Inspector Jon Summers of the Metropolitan Police Sapphire sex crimes unit which caught him, said: ‘Simon Archer is every parent’s worst nightmare.

‘He is a predatory paedophile who is now where he belongs, safely behind bars.  ‘What the victims went through will never leave them.

‘We can only hope and pray that this sentence reassures them and in some way helps them to put this dreadful ordeal behind them.

‘We cannot rule out the possibility that he may have committed crimes against others and I would urge anyone who has been a victim of a sex crime to contact the police.’

source

Would someone who understands law please explain to me why judges feel it necessary to inform the criminal of what he did. He already knows and the vast majority do not care.  It just seems stupid to me.

And he doesn’t “belong safely behind bars,” he belongs at the end of a noose. After the castration without benefit of drugs.

A SCREWED UP CRIMINAL SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA

Things like this drive me stark raving bonkers. Granted that my home state is known (embarrassingly) as the land of fruits and nuts, and they’ve elected Jerry Brown again as gov. So what the hell. I am not surprised.  Just plain disgusted and feel bad for the dad who passed away, and the victim’s mom.

Here ... you can read it for yourself. I’ll also post below, one stupid and infuriating comment from a Brit with no brains.
You’ll see what I mean.

The killer wins: Death Row murderer outlives victim’s father who campaigned for decades to see him executed

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 3:09 PM on 10th March 2011

He spent 27 years criticising a justice system that allowed his daughter’s killer to remain on death row with no fixed execution date.

Now Marine veteran George Cullins, 88, has fulfilled his prediction that he would die before seeing California serial killer Dean Carter, 55, executed.

Carter was sentenced to death in 1991 after Mr Cullins’s daughter Janette, 24, was raped and strangled in her San Diego flat in 1984 before being stuffed into a closet.

Retired Marine Corps pilot Mr Cullins died in hospital last Tuesday from complications after a car accident in October that left his wife, Helen, with a broken neck.

California is known for a slow execution process, with 712 inmates on death row and only a handful of executions since capital punishment was reinstated in 1977.

But victims’ rights advocate Mr Cullins was responsible for changes in two California laws benefiting the families of murder victims.

‘He was a fine gentleman,’ Jeffrey Koch, California Deputy Attorney General, told AOL News. ‘I’m sorry that he did not see this case completed.’

Carter, who is on death row at San Quentin State Prison, has made many appeals in the last 20 years and his case is now in the federal appeals process.

He killed three women in Los Angeles the day before Janette’s murder and raped two others in a three-week spree after his sexual advances were rejected, a court heard.

The serial killer was also charged with a fifth murder in Northern California, but the case was dropped after his death sentence, reported AOL News.

Cullins was charged $65 by San Diego County for transporting Janette’s body to the morgue after her death, but the state passed a law one year later to drop such fees.

He was responsible in the 1990s for enacting a law to speed up the first step in an appeal process of court record certification in death penalty cases.

‘When the punishment of execution was actually carried out, the murder rate had decreased, but now we are just warehousing killers,’ Cullins said in 2007.

‘By drawing out the appeals process, the murder rate has been constantly on the increase,’ he told the North County Times.

But Carter has himself complained about the slow postal service, cramped conditions and visitor policies - while also commenting on social issues and O.J. Simpson.

He has written a blog since 1995 called ‘Deadman Talking’ to give an inside view about life on death row, which Mr Koch described as ‘extremely disturbing’.

Carter’s lawyers have unsuccessfully argued for his case to be overturned on alleged issues such as double jeopardy, prosecutor misconduct and judicial bias.

SOURCE

Why oh why don’t any of the lawyers who help to keep scum like this alive for so long, themselves become victims of serious and violent crimes?
If any do, I’ve never heard of it. Have you?  But I sincerely wish it would happen. Like maybe someone would wipe out a civil rights lawyers family, then ask to be defended by that piss ant lawyer. Yeah,yeah. Couldn’t happen.  Just my frustration with a shitty system mouthing off.
Then too, ppl who think like this idiot who commented on this case also contribute to keeping scum afloat. We have the American version of this fool.
See what you make of this jerk.

26 years in jail, he’s served his time so let him out now. How cruel to keep someone on death row for 26 years. Sounds like a third-world country.

english homes are certainly not their castles and squatters win for now, with taxpayer monies

This isn’t a surprise but it is pretty damn maddening not to mention upside down freekin stupid.
What surprises me more then anything in the years I have been here and read about this kind of thing, is that so far as I am aware, not one home owner has found a gun and gone after these opportunistic foreign mother ******s.  Not a one. Zero.
I don’t know how they do it and survive. I mean the home owners.  It would surely drive me to the very logical conclusion, that I’d have to kill the intruders if it was at all possible. I’d leave none alive to sue and take my chances as they come.

This is the result of liberalism in it’s extreme. Human rights in its extreme, and a country that refuses to protect itself from these abuses.
How do ppl come to this pass?  Is this sort of thing embedded in English history?  Is it part of their culture? What?  I don’t understand.
You own the property. You pay taxes (presumably) and support law and order, you think.  But the cops who might like to help cos they too understand how unfair and stupid it is, are themselves tied to a law of some kind that allows this bullshit.

If a country tolerates this kind of thing then the citizens have to expect more of the same because unless it’s fought it only encourages others.
And to think .... these freeloading bastards are in property they have no right to, and remain there for now with the compliments of;

THE ENGLISH TAXPAYER, which of course includes the taxpaying owner of the property.

Here ... take a look. Again.


Foreign squatters given legal aid to fight eviction from £1million house… as its British owner has to represent himself in court

By RYAN KISIEL

Squatters who broke into and occupied a £1million house have been given hundreds of pounds of taxpayers’ money in legal aid to fight eviction.

The intruders from France, Spain and Poland have been living in the three-storey five-bedroom townhouse for a month.

Meanwhile, owner John Hamilton-Brown has been forced to rent a two-bedroom flat for his family while he battles to get the gang out of the house.
Neighbours said the property had just been sold when the 12 squatters broke in during the early hours of the morning after a window was forced open.
Since then there has been more damage and endless parties – several of which have culminated in the police being called.

Yesterday, some of the squatters danced, waved flags, sang and played the guitar outside the property. They also bragged about how easy Britain’s laws were in allowing them to take over homes.

A French man who called himself Jean-Claude, said: ‘I came to England seven years ago because this is where the love is.
‘We will speak to other people from all over the world to come here and live because it is so easy. Why can’t we live anywhere we want?’

A French girl with blonde dreadlocked hair added: ‘I love it here. We move around where we want and share our love. You should see the views in there – it’s amazing.’

Mr Hamilton-Brown, 36, applied to the county court last week to seek an interim possession order to enable him to claim the house back.
He did not hire a solicitor because of the expense.

But when he arrived at Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court, in East London, he was amazed to find that two of the squatters had been granted legal aid and were represented by a duty solicitor.

Because they were EU citizens and unemployed, they qualified for free legal representation.
Mr Hamilton-Brown had already been to the court four times since his home was invaded on January 21

At Thursday’s hearing, he was not granted the interim order that would have let him remove the squatters within 24 hours because of a legal technicality.
He was granted a possession order – meaning he will now have to wait up to six weeks for a warrant that will allow bailiffs to remove them.

‘I was horrified they were given legal representation,’ Mr Hamilton-Brown said. ‘As I work and pay taxes, I’m at a disadvantage.
‘I’ve saved up for ten years to move into this house and this is what I get. It’s remarkable that they can get away with this.’

Mr Hamilton-Brown, a married father of two young daughters who is a director of a financial services company, added that neighbours had indicated that a lot of damage had been done to the property.

The house in Archway, North London, is near the homes of actress Patsy Kensit and comedian Rob Brydon.

A legal notice put in the front window by the squatters states that anybody who enters without their permission could face six months in jail and a £5,000 fine.
A neighbour said: ‘They have more rights than we do.

‘They know what they’re doing on the legal side of things as they’ve been in houses before in the area.’
-30-

a legal technicality?  what kind of technicality? the property is his. oh yeah? says who? not this totally miserable fucked up legal system.

To the ppl responsible for finding a woman guilty of THEFT by FINDING .. (WTH)bat

This isn’t a new story. In fact, I’m just a week late in getting to it. No doubt some of you may have already seen it. For those who haven’t, well , this is how serious the criminal justice system is in the nanny state. By gosh and by golly these folks will not put up with this sort of criminal behavior you betcha.

H/T Current.com

A woman was handcuffed and ‘treated like a hardened criminal’ after she helped herself to food worth £200 that had been thrown away by a Tesco store following a power cut.

Dozens of people could not believe their luck after the outlet of the supermarket giant bagged up thousands of pounds of spoiled stock and left it out in the street.

Sasha Hall, 21, helped herself to potato waffles, pies and ham from outside the Tesco Express in Great Baddow, Essex.
But she was stunned when police arrived at her home and arrested her for suspected ‘theft by finding’ and took her to the station in handcuffs.

‘There was £3,000 worth of food going to waste on the street,’ she told the Essex Chronicle. ‘It had been thrown out, so I thought I could put it to better use.
‘When the police came round I was so upset. I felt like a terrible criminal.’

The shop worker said the supermarket - which has the motto ‘Every little helps’ - should have been pleased that the food would be put to good use.

She said: ‘I would think the police have better things to be doing with their time than going after people who pick up potato waffles from the street. It’s all been blown totally out of proportion.

‘Tesco clearly did not want the food. They dumped it and rather than see it go to waste, I thought I could help feed me and my family for a week or two.’
Ms Hall, from Great Baddow, said she was shocked by the way the police dealt with the incident.

‘They knocked at the door and said if I didn’t open up they would use a battering ram,’ she said. ‘They handcuffed me and treated me like I was a hardened criminal and when we left they raided my house.

‘I haven’t got lots of money. I only make £600 a month. I’m on the brink of getting kicked out of my flat because I can’t pay my arrears.’
A Tesco spokesman said: ‘We are assisting the police with their inquiries. We seek to minimise waste in all our stores and where possible will seek to reuse and recycle it.’
Ms Hall, who works part-time at a rival supermarket in Chelmsford, is to appear in magistrates court on February 16 charged with theft by finding.

this is one result of what is laugingly the justice system here.

Ok I know what anti-gun ppl will say. Yes but if guns were easily available, these scum suckers would have used them.
Well, perhaps if their victims had access to one, one or all might be alive today. But forget that for now.

Seems to me killing someone for their ins. and luring someone to their death, is pretty premeditated and cold blooded.
So, why are folks like this out free among us.

Forget that. Lets talk instead about how screwed up America is, with all our gun crazed loonies on the right who love Sarah.
Lets discuss how America puts more of our citizens in jail then anyone else. Could it perhaps be because while our criminal system may be fouled up, and while we may make the same sort of bone head move as made here, we still manage to put away people life forms that Europeans and Brits let out to roam free.

Just a thought for any surfing foreigners out there of a more liberal bent who think we’re a tad too harsh on the criminal class.

And before I forget, a reminder to BMEWS readers.  Please take a good look at the comments following this article.  I wonder if some of the hand wringers would invite any of these women to dinner. Or, maybe help look after an elderly relative. Or babysit. Hey, ya never know. They might be just liberal enough.

Take a look at this insanity.

Three female convicted murderers given jobs at same Travelodge

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 12:39 PM on 17th January 2011

Three women convicted for murder have been employed at the same branch of a popular hotel chain.

The killers currently work at a Travelodge in York, serving customers who are oblivious to their evil crimes.

Linda White, 55, a guest-room cleaner, stabbed her ex-partner John Sandilands to death after a row

Pat Bulmer, 48, who works as a receptionist, lured her husband Robert to be knifed to death by her lover so she could claim over £30,000 from his life insurance policy.

Julie Richardson, 42, also a cleaner at the hotel, scalded her own father with a red-hot iron before battering him to death with two accomplices.

The news that these dangerous criminals, all jailed for life, have been quietly integrated back into society has shocked and angered relatives of the murder victims.

Robert Bulmer’s sister Hepsy told The Sun: ‘It’s disgusting. What are the authorities thinking of?

‘I don’t suppose the customers know a thing. If you’re staying at a hotel you don’t expect to find three killers working there.’

The trio applied for the jobs at the hotel branch in Piccadilly, York, while serving sentences at Askham Grange Prison as part of a scheme to get offenders into jobs soon after they are released.

Travelodge spokesman Jon Hendry-Pickup defended his company’s decision to employ the ladies.

He said: ‘The workers from the rehabilitation programme are constantly assessed and have proven to be dedicated and hard-working individuals.’

Extreme violence of this nature is rare, says a cop who should know better, or is an idiot.

Detective Constable Darcia Babb said: ‘This was an outrageous and prolonged attack on a defenseless victim by a gang of thugs.

‘Extreme violence of this nature is rare but when it does happen we will make sure those responsible are brought to justice.

Scuze me while I take some time off to figure out just what planet the lady constable is on. Not this one. Is she dizzy er what?  Crimes of this nature are most certainly NOT rare. And as for brought to justice, gimme a break. Justice?  She isn’t dizzy. She’s crazy. Gotta be. Justice?  For what these sub-humans with unpronounceable names did?  What justice? Where’s it hiding?  I saw it somewhere a long time ago. Must have got lost in the immigration shuffle along with the mad hatters that voted Labour and allowed those traitorous lefties to totally screw up the country and the police and the courts.

Take a good look at this ... and take a gander at the time these pukes will serve. A guy gets beat up this badly and some of the thugs are charged with,
violent disorder?  wtf! What’s with that?  And what the hell were the ppl in the restaurant thinking when they closed the door on the victim, afraid to allow him sanctuary. Jeesh what a fucked up world.

The way the headline reads, you immediately think they’re gonna be in jail for a long time. Not so cos it’s 20 years split up among the whole gang of punks.

Grab the link for a couple of photos of the sub-human scum. This is what England and most of Europe will one day look like.  I’m glad I won’t be around to be witness to it. But sure as hell it’s on the way. Can it be halted? Sure. Maybe. Depends on how serious the electorate get about crime. How far they are willing to go to set examples to discourage others.  Somehow, someway the people have to make lawmakers sit up and take notice.  It might be they have to organize vigilantes along the line of San Francisco in 1849.  String up a few lawyers who defend scum like these. Take out a weak judge or two. And by all means do away with some of the violent thugs who’ve been let out early and committed crimes while on release. You think I’m over the top?

In the news this week is a story of unimaginable horror.  The guy is called the Crossbow Cannibal.  He even ate one of his victims raw. How’s that for bad?
AND ...  he’s just another case where he could have been stopped had authorities not been asleep.  Another case also of some mentally deranged wacko who was deemed ok and safe to release, you got it, he killed a total stranger.  Want more?  Some punk darkie released from prison for violent crime, killed someone 6 months after his release.  You’ve heard it all before and many times I’d bet. Same crap but different names.

Just how much is the public supposed to be subjected to? And to add insult to injury, be expected to support these miserable bastards either on benefits or while in jail.  Why?  For what purpose?  Of what use can they be, unless used for medical experiments.

Gang who battered pedestrian with crowbar in brutal road rage attack jailed for nearly 20 years

By Rebecca Camber

A gang of thugs who stabbed a pedestrian in a road rage attack, torturing him with a crowbar, hammer and broken bottle have been jailed for almost 20 years.

A 30-year-old man was subjected to a brutal attack after almost being run over by a car as he left a popular Indian restaurant in Whitechapel, east London.

When the pedestrian swore at the driver in anger, he was confronted by three thugs who got out of the convertible BMW and another car following behind.

Rashel Hussain, 20, and his friends, twin brothers Jubhare and Taharak Hussain, both aged 21, battered the victim with a crowbar, causing serious injury to his left hand.

Terrified, the man ran back to Tayyabs restaurant - regarded as one of the best Indian restaurants in London - only to find himself trapped in the doorway as the doors had been locked by frightened staff.

Taharak knifed the man a number of times before running off with the others to get more weapons.

As the victim attempted to get help, stumbling towards the Royal London Hospital nearby, his attackers returned with a larger group of men who leapt on him.

Rashel Hussain battered him with a hammer, while another man, Shah Alom, 22, slashed him with a glass bottle and two others, Jubhare Hussain and Shofiqul Islam, 21, rained down punches on the defenceless man leaving him with serious neck, arm and thigh injuries.

The extraordinary onslaught of violence was caught on CCTV, which showed the bloodied victim desperately attempting to escape.

Horrified members of the public who witnessed the attack around 9pm on Sunday, May 30 this year called 999 for help.

Two police officers rushed to the scene and wrestled with the attackers, pulling them off the victim and saving his life.

Rashel Hussain was arrested at the scene while the others fled. But detectives later rounded up the other members of the gang.

On Monday they were sentenced to a total of almost 20 years at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

Rashel Hussain, 20, was jailed for six years after pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm and violent disorder.

Taharak Hussain, 21, got seven years for grievous bodily harm.

His non-identical twin Jubhare, 21, received a two year sentence for violent disorder.
Two other gang members, Shofiqul Islam, 21, got a two year sentence and Shah Alom, 22, was sentenced to 27 months for violent disorder.

Let me tell you just how frightened some are of the law and the police.  If you are aware of the “student” riots last month, here’s something you probably didn’t
know.  One of the very left groups, not all students btw, give points for damage to property, maybe 50 points for assaulting an officer, 100 points for injury and drawing blood. I haven’t a clue what they do with the points but what I’m saying is, does that sound like a society in control of itself? Does that look to you like a culture in charge?  Does that look like a country that’s pointed in the right direction?  Not to me it doesn’t.  Vandals do their best to rile and entangle the cops doing their job, bullying cops if I can use that term and it sure looks like bullying. But cops aren’t supposed to smack em down. It ok to spit at a cop and then sue the city if the cop defends himself cos as we all know, cops are all guilty all the time.  I really am sick to tears of all the BS flung about and the useless thugs of all colors running the show.  The state may be holding them off somewhat. But what the state is not doing, is fighting back.  They won’t even use water canon on rioters, I have read.  What does that tell you?

And I haven’t even started on the unions. I’ll leave that for another time.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
