‘SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE’ Coroner slams London Bridge terror attack ringleader’s ‘unconvincing’ family for failing to report him despite knowing he was an extremist

57

Mark Lucraft QC said Khuram Butt’s family all “should have done more” as an inquest concluded that the eight victims slaughtered were unlawfully killed by 27-year-old Butt, Rachid Redouane, 30, and Youssef Zaghba, 23.

Lots of finger pointing and blame going around. Victim’s families criticize authorities for ‘staggering’ failings. Police and MI5 are blamed for failed to recognize the threat posed by Muslim terrorist ringleader Khuram Butt, who associated with Isis fanatic Anjem Choudary, appeared in the documentary The Jihadis Next Door and was able to teach the Quran at a primary school. Before the attack, Butt had been under investigation yet authorities failed to pass on tip offs about his extremism, including one from a family member.

And the coroner is blaming Khuram Butt’s devout family who all “should have done more.” They are believers, they would not betray their religion or their son. Lots of blame going around but no one dares blame the ideology, the cause of it all. Islam. And that’s the real problem –fear of offending believers in this brutal doctrine.

‘SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE’ Coroner slams London Bridge attack ringleader’s ‘unconvincing’ family for failing to report him despite knowing he was an extremist

Holly Christodoulou, The Sun, 29 Jun 2019, 8:36

A CORONER has slammed the London Bridge attack ringleader’s “unconvincing” family for failing to report him despite knowing he was an extremist.

Mark Lucraft QC said Khuram Butt’s family all “should have done more” as an inquest concluded that the eight victims slaughtered were unlawfully killed by 27-year-old Butt, Rachid Redouane, 30, and Youssef Zaghba, 23.

Mr Lucraft criticised Butt’s widow Zahrah Rehman, brother-in-law Usman Darr, brother Saad Butt, and sister Haleema Butt – who he described as “unconvincing witnesses”.

He said: “Whilst I can understand the pressures on Saad Butt through the death of his own daughter, it seems to me that on the basis of what he accepted he did know of his brother and the worrying views he was espousing, he did very little, if anything, to accurately monitor his brother’s movements.”
TIMELINE OF TERROR

The coroner said he was “not convinced” MI5 and police missed any opportunities that would have prevented the attack.

But he did criticise the lack of barriers on the bridge after it was exposed as a “particularly vulnerable” location.

A haunting new video reconstruction shows how the terror attack on June 3, 2017, was over in just eight minutes.

At 10.07pm as revellers flooded Borough Market to enjoy the warm summer’s night, a white van carrying the terror trio sped across London Bridge at 50mph and ploughed into bystanders.

Pedestrians were flung 20ft in the air like skittles before the rented vehicle smashed into railings next to The Barrowboy & Banker pub.

As witnesses watched the horror unfolding in front of them, the brainwashed jihadis jumped from the van and started knifing people while yelling: “This is for Allah!”

The attack was over in less than ten minutes but eight people died and a further 48 were injured

Two minutes later, the attackers stormed Borough Market and hacked at people inside and outside pubs – including three at the Black & Blue steak restaurant.

Brave onlookers fought back against the terrorists – launching chairs and bottles as business owners pulled down their shutters to protect customers inside.

At 10.14pm – six minutes after the first call to police – paramedics and specialist response teams arrive as the warped trio continue to butcher terrified revellers.

By 10.16pm, armed cops arrived at the scene and shot the three attackers dead outside the Wheatsheaf pub.
KILLED TRYING TO HELP

The attack was over in just eight minutes but left a permanent stain on the families of victims and the city of London as it reeled from its second terror attack in just three months.

A grim total of 48 people were also injured after the terrorists left a gruesome trail of bloodshed.

Xavier Thomas, 45, Christine Archibald, 30, Sara Zelenak, 21, Sebastien Belanger, 36, James McMullan, 32, Kirsty Boden, 28, Alexandre Pigeard, 26, and Ignacio Echeverria, 39, were all killed in the attack.

The inquest has heard harrowing stories of how the victims were slaughtered as they ignored the danger around them and heroically rushed to the aid of others.

Sara Zelenak was set upon by the attackers after she fell in her high heels – with James McMullan killed as he tried to help her up.

Nurse Kirsty Boden was stabbed after she went to the aid of French musician Alexandre Pigeard outside the Boro Bistro.

The killers also attacked Sebastien Belanger and Ignacio Echeverria who was fatally injured as he bravely fended off the attackers with his skateboard.

‘CATALOGUE OF FAILINGS’

Christine Delcros, whose boyfriend Xavier was hit on the bridge, slammed authorities for the catalogue of “staggering” failings in the lead up to the attack.

In an emotional statement, Ms Delcros highlighted a “catalogue of failings”, saying: “I believe this attack was preventable.”

She pointed out how authorities ignored “repeated, urgent warnings” about the risk to pedestrians in the wake of the devastating Westminster Bridge attack in March.

But she said of the three terrorists: “They tried in vain to extinguish our joy, our hope, our love. But in the end, they failed.”

In his summing up, Mr Lucraft also praised police officers, medics and members of the public who ran into the danger amid the murderous chaos.

PC Charlie Guenigault was off duty when he took on the three terrorists with British Transport Police officer Wayne Marques and Spanish banker Mr Echeverria.

The cop, who was knifed in the head, said: “I just see all three of them standing in front of me, knives in hand and fake vests on and that look of, ‘We’re going to kill you’, basically that sort of anger in their eyes.”

He added: “At the inquest… people want to find blame for why such things happened – there are only three people to blame.”

There is one place the blame squarely lies. It is the Politically Correct Conservative and Labour govt’s who were running the UK for decades who knew about the ‘radicalization’ that takes place in Muslim communities and did absolutely nothing to safeguard citizens.

What they did instead was to attack their own countrymen like Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins and many others who dared to call attention to the Muslim rape-gangs and terrorist groups which included hate preachers like Anjem Choudary.

All of this was completely in the open. The mainstream media is even more culpable since that’s where most people get their information from. They rely on journalists to tell the truth about the threats they face. Instead all motives for Islamic terrorism was covered up and it was they who were responsible for turning our heroes like Tommy into the villains.

But until they admit the problem isn’t “within” the Muslim community but the community itself and Islam, thousands of people will be killed and injured by this death cult until the only option left is civil war. Sadly our leaders in nearly all western nations continue to make the same mistakes, despite seeing the problems that Muslims bring to other countries.

The smartest people in Europe were the Eastern nations like Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and they boldly said “hell no” to Muslim and African migrants when they saw the trouble they were bringing and their countries have experienced zero Islamic terrorism. Why couldn’t our leaders have the same common sense and backbone?

It’s always hilarious to me when Leftards raise the UK and other nations as “safe havens” because they banned guns. What they don’t tell you is that knife/acid attacks have skyrocketed instead so the same number of people or more are being killed or gravely injured for life.

Evil people and ideologies will always find another way to achieve their goals. What you need to do is to deal with such individuals/groups. I am also very pro-gun but there should be safeguards to prevent crazies and would-be terrorists from acquiring them.

I’m not a Leftard but agree with our anti-gun laws. In the UK we have an average homicide rate of 260 while the US has an average rate of over 30,000. However, I do think our laws have not kept up with the latest use of knives and acid in attacks. If a victim kills a criminal he/she is liable to be arrested and often is. Terrorists and criminals will always manage to acquire a weapon while the average innocent citizen finds it impossible. I don’t know what the answer is but a first step should be a review of sentences for terrorist attacks. Any terrorist act committed with a gun or acid should result in a life sentence without parole. In other words, they die in prison. We should also allow at least a debate on the re-introduction of the death sentence. Our parliament won’t allow it but the majority of the public would like to debate the death penalty

I am all for the death penalty for murdering someone and disgusted by the leniency towards criminals, particularly murderers, in Canada. As I’ve seen, when a society abandons it’s moral code and actually believes in nothing, all the sympathy goes to vile people while the victims and the grieving families get little or no consideration. In now dopy Canada, a ‘life sentence’ is 15 years in prison and this can be reduced “for good behaviour” – but their victim is never getting back their life! In one mindlessly disgusting case in Toronto, a murderer was sentenced to ‘life’ i.e. 15 years, so appealed it, in court an utterly disgusting and stupid jury (probably all too typical bleeding hearts!) changed his conviction from first or second degree murder to “manslaughter” and right away the sentence was reduced to either 8 or 7 years. And this is ‘justice’ – Canadian style! Are things this depraved and disgusting in Britain?

One fine member of my Muslim extended family is a fine young man whom I eventually adopted as an adult to protect him legally in joint venture family business interests. About 3 months ago N. walked to a nearby shopping center close to his Russian home late at night. As he was returning home he was attacked by an anti-Muslim BIGOT. People who witnessed what happened called police and N. was rushed to a hospital ER. He nearly died, but life-saving surgery saved his life, and in the weeks following he healed completely and is well and happy again. And I am happy to say that Russian police were able to find his attacker and jail him. And I”m very haopy to say that I just recently learned that he was tried and convicted for his assault on an innocent victim and he wll now serve a very long prison sentence! One anti-Muslim bigot/hater down… and millions to go!! YOU are one of them… a very vicious, vile and disgusting son of a bitch and ROTTEN bastard. I will fight you slimy garbage bigot filth until the day I draw my last breath. Gnash your teeth, nasty bastard! None of your insults change how I feel about fitlth and slime like YOU.

Coroner slams ringleaders family for not reporting the vermin. Thats going to galvanise the government in to action, isn’t it. Wish ide thought of that. Instead I asked the attorney general if selling halal meat to non muslims was illegal and he said it was, along with geaffrey Driver CBE head of Lancashire County Council, who incidentally banned all halal from its 27 schools, bravo. But the attorney general and the UK government are failing to impliment the law to stop the abuse of the indigenous people of this great island, instead the attourney general feels it is more in the public interest to re-prosecute Tommy robinson for contempt of court because he hurt the feelings of the muslim rapist paedophiles caught in Rotherham. you couldn’t make it up in a fairy story.
