‘Quiet’ Muslim Man Who Used Delivery Van to Plow Pedestrians Gets Reduced Sentence of Four Years

68

A Muslim man in the United Kingdom who drove his delivery van into a group of pedestrians because he was angry with them was just given a reduced sentence of four years in jail.

Luqman Aslam, 26, admitted to dangerous driving and attempting to inflict harm on others.

And he was initially sentenced to five years.

Here’s a video of the scene as it unfolded:

The sentence reduction is especially interesting considering the crime in the United Kingdom for killing another with a vehicle is life, according to the Independent.

But Aslam’s attorneys argued the incarceration was too tough and asked the judge to reconsider. At an appeal, the judge did just that — and reduced the sentence to four years.

Leicester Mercury has more:

A man who deliberately rammed his van into a group of pedestrians in a revenge attack has had his jail sentence reduced on appeal.

Luqman Aslam drove his vehicle onto the pavement after seeing red following an earlier clash with the group of men in Leicester city centre.

The 26-year-old delivery driver, of Warren View, Thurmaston, was sentenced to five years in prison at Leicester Crown Court in June after admitting to dangerous driving and attempting to inflict intentional grievous bodily harm during the incident – behind Sainsbury’s in Lee Lane, near Lee Circle – on June 28 last year.

He was described as a “quiet” family man at his appeal hearing, held at London’s Appeal Court on Friday.

Judge Jeremy Carey, sitting with Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb, said Aslam had “used the car as a weapon” and that a long sentence was called for.

However, he acknowledged there was “substantial mitigation” and ruled that Aslam had received insufficient credit for his guilty pleas.

Judge Carey heard how only one of the pedestrians managed to dodge the van – with three of the group injured.

One of them was flung onto the road and another struck the bonnet “full in the face”, while a third “hit the dead centre of the bonnet”.

But miraculously none of them were seriously injured.

The judge who sentenced Aslam had described CCTV footage of what happened as “truly, truly shocking”.

It showed Aslam “quite deliberately mounting the pavement and driving straight at this group and right through the middle of them at speed”.

“It was remarkable that nobody was seriously injured or killed,” he said.

The spark for the attack was an earlier “exchange of words” between Aslam and the men, with Aslam coming to blows with one of them and the pair having to be restrained, the court heard.

The men were walking away when Aslam saw red and hit the accelerator.

As he hurtled towards them, he narrowly missed a woman out walking and a cyclist, said Judge Carey.

Aslam’s challenged his punishment, claiming it was far too tough.

His legal team highlighted his previous immaculate character and responsibilities as a husband and father of a young daughter.

At the time of the incident he had also been fasting through Ramadan for 20 days.

Judge Carey cut Aslam’s sentence from five to four years.

After seeing that video, I am shocked that injuries were, supposedly minor. So, attempted murder .. causing substantial physical harm, gets a four year sentence. A few bacon on white bread sandwiches yields a death sentence.

Frankly, I am willing to discuss the death penalty … when Leftists are willing to give up their bloodthirsty desire to fill my streets with the victims of crime. Instead, they prefer to attack cops, play victim cards, persecute non-violent offenders with minor infractions, hand out light sentences over and over again until an offender commits a crime so heinous as to make that impossible.

And I would love to get your opinion after looking through pictures out of my case files.

And Leftists do not care about their favorites. A Democratic Sanctuary City was totally happy to deport one of my clients for not having a perfectly valid green card – when she dared to report that her child had been raped by an illegal. Meanwhile they did not even open a case on the rapist. And it fell upon me to place the victim with the child’s grandparents.

So cry me a river. You see someone recommend the common law be applied to felony attempted murder, and you respond with a callous and insensitive rant. Like all Leftists – you need your meds – or you really do not care about the victims of these crimes.

“when Leftists are willing to give up their bloodthirsty desire to fill my streets with the victims of crime”
I’ve commented elsewhere on this site today that its about understanding why people do these things in the first place, learning from it, and understanding the roots of these problems, on a level of society. To be honest, if someone had been extremely insulting and aggressive towards me, and I’d seen red, I might have ‘thought’ about doing what he did in an act of revenge, but my frontal lobe would’ve kicked in and flashed up the consequences of my actions. This guy either was so angry he wasn’t acting rationally, or was so angry he stopped caring about the consequences. Either way, he hurt people, and there’s no excuse for that. But I don’t see why losing your temper is a reason to be executed by the state. I see it as a reason to have anger management classes before being eligible for parole. Because it isn’t all about the victim. Being a victim is a state of mind (believe me, I know that) being angry and wanting revenge because of injustice is something I’ve lived with for a long time myself, and understand the futility of it. And this is what I mean. Fantasising about revenge IS twisted, whether as a result of heinous crimes, or in advance of them.

Well Rob. I don’t normally do this after a ComBox spat, but I gave you an upvote – both since I generally agree with your second post, and for writing a rational and reasonable post.

As to the driver in this case who knows, you could be right. That is the object of our justice system – to find out the facts in each case and take them individually.

Meanwhile, in other news, two days earlier, Darren Osborne, who drove his van into Muslims near Finsbury Park mosque, was sentenced to two concurrent life sentences with a minimum term of 43 years. I am not defending Osborne, who is a complete POS, and he did actually kill someone, but I can’t help but notice a small discrepancy in the sentencing.

So to brutally harm English people will result in you being in prison, realistically, for two years. For an English person to call a POC a naughty name will get you probably longer. Welcome to our tyranny. England lives and marches on.

So “Aslam had received insufficient credit for” simply admitting that he had done what it was already known that he had done!??? The question is did these judges give Aslam such a ridiculously light sentence because they are stupid beyond belief, totally incompetent, barking dog mad, or are afraid of the Muslims calling them racist for sentencing Aslam to death as he deserves to be?comment image
