London Bridge jihad murderer was released from prison without a parole board assessment

28

“When sentencing Khan in 2012, Wilkie said that he was so dangerous that he was imposing a so-called imprisonment for public protection (IPP) indeterminate sentence of 8 years.” Yet despite the fact that he was “sentenced to a minimum of 8 years in prison in 2012 with a requirement that the parole board assess his danger to the public before release, he was released in December 2018 – without a parole board assessment.”

What made them think he was no longer dangerous? Nothing. They just assumed it. If he had been a “right-wing extremist,” they would not have been nearly so lenient.

“Usman Khan: Al-Qaeda-inspired militant launched London Bridge attack,” Reuters, November 30, 2019:

Nine years before Usman Khan killed two people in a stabbing spree on London Bridge, he was overheard by British security services discussing how to use an Al-Qaeda manual he had memorized to build a pipe bomb.

It was a snippet of conversation, along with other intelligence about a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange, that prompted British police to arrest Khan – then 19 years old – and a group of older men on Dec. 20, 2010.

Sentenced to a minimum of 8 years in prison in 2012 with a requirement that the parole board assess his danger to the public before release, he was released in December 2018 – without a parole board assessment.

On Friday, he strapped on a fake suicide vest, armed himself with large kitchen knives and went on the rampage at a conference on prisoner rehabilitation beside London Bridge….

When sentencing Khan in 2012, Wilkie said that he was so dangerous that he was imposing a so-called imprisonment for public protection (IPP) indeterminate sentence of 8 years.

“The long, monitored, discussions of Usman Khan about the madrassa (training camp) and his attitudes towards it and terrorism are highly eloquent of the seriousness of their purpose,” Wilkie said.

In effect, it meant he would remain incarcerated as long as he was considered to be a danger to the public and that the parole board should assess whether he should be released.

But in 2011, then-Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron announced a review of the IPP sentencing. The IPP was abolished in 2012.

After Khan appealed his sentence, appeal court judges in 2013 quashed the indeterminate period of incarceration, and he was given a determinate sentence of 16 years – meaning he could be released after serving just half of his term.

Court of Appeal judges said at the time that the Parole Board should consider whether those convicted were safe enough to be released. The Parole Board said on Saturday that it had not been involved in deciding Khan’s release.

“The Parole Board can confirm it had no involvement with the release of the individual identified as the attacker,” the board said, adding that Khan “appears to have been released automatically on license (as required by law), without ever being referred to the Board.”…

Political Correctness, still going on its marry way, protecting those in certain classes, while NOT protecting the law-abiding masses.

I am reading an account of this whole, bloody, mess, in the Daily Mirror. Apparently nearly all involved were involved, in “Early Release” projects: The terrorist Usman Khan (I knew his Uncle Genghis); the young man murdered who worked on such a project and the man who wrestled away the knife, a murderer out on day release!

Since he was released “without a parole board assessment,” how is the parole board responsible?

This stinks
MI5 [UK domestic counter-intelligence] was involved with this guy
– they appear to have used him as a double agent
– and they wanted him released from jail so he could work for MI5
– because he was well-connected to Imam Choudry and other terrorists
– but double agents are very difficult to control, and MI5 screwed up

The domestic counter-intelligence of the FBI is just as dumb. Many US terrorist attacks have been carried out by FBI double agents. The terrorists who attacked a Garland Texas event organized by Pamela Geller, had an FBI handler(!). Fortunately the terrorists were killed by a hero Garland policemen.

“Fortunately” depends on your perspective. I’m sure the Fecal Bureau of Islamisation’s muslum handler was mighty disappointed his muslum brothers didn’t kill anyone in Garland, TX — despite his best efforts to make it happen.

Oh yes, the FBI has done horrible things. After the Garland event, news appeared that they two terrorists had an accomplice, whose name was known, but who could not be found. I used Pipl.com to find the man, and I published his personal details here on the Geller Report. The next day, CAIR retaliated by publishing all of Pamela’s personal details. Obviously, CAIR was in cahoots with the terrorists, and did not want the world to know about the accomplice.

The good news is that the policeman who shot the terrorists was promoted to police chief in Garland. They consider him a hero. The two terrorists had automatic weapons and body armor, and the policeman neutralized them with only a hand gun.

I have to admit taking on two f’ing muslums w/semiautomatic rifles while holding nothing but a pistol isn’t something I’d do.

how are they not responsible…If I was on a parole board I would want to know why procedures were not followed

Do you understand that the parole board was bypassed? Therefore they are not responsible. I’m sure the parole board members “would want to know why procedures were not followed.” But that has nothing to do with whether they are responsible in this case. Someone else authorized the release.

David Cameron when he abolished IPP – Article states right there – ” He was released following law ” So for ” political purposes ” the English Government is no longer protecting its citizens.Which really is not ” new ” news anyway –

MI5 [UK domestic spies] helped get this guy out of jail
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/usman-khan-london-bridge-attack-terrorist-mi5-surveillance-stabbing-a9227776.html
“London Bridge attacker was ‘being monitored by MI5”
‘It is very difficult to stop someone from going out and buying a knife and carrying out an attack,’ security source admits.
[but keeping him in jail would have helped a lot…]

If in the US, victims and the families of victims would sue the government for damages and that would likely include punitive damages since the government is clearly at fault here and must be held accountable. If the government isn’t criminally culpable, it likely would be civilly culpable and likely would need to forfeit millions of dollars or pounds.
There really is no excuse foe this kind of irresponsible behavior.
I don’t expect civil lawsuits in the UK however and most likely the response will be to put a gag order on the media and lock up anyone who openly criticizes the government.

An amazing level of humanity:

A 2012 photo shows all the Islamists accused of plotting a terrorist attack in London. In this six present and yesterday’s attacker with a knife on passers-by (two of whom subsequently died from their injuries) – 28-year-old resident of Staffordshire Usman Khan.
As of today, all but one of them is free.comment image
