There is no justice!

By Arthur Webster of Ask Old Coot

Angela Gordon and Junaid Abuhamza deliberately and methodically starved Gordon's 7 year old daughter, Khyra, to death.

At the same time they starved and ill-treated five other children in their care.

Khyra was removed from school and suffered such harsh punishments as beatings with bamboo canes, being stood out in the cold for extended periods of time, being soaked in cold water and all six children were locked out of the kitchen.

When Khyra finally succumbed to an infection, she had lost over 40% of her body weight and was so thin that her body mass index could not be measured.

For what appears to me to be the deliberate and slow murder of a small child, Angela Gordon, her mother, was sentenced to 15 years in prison (HM Rest Home). (In England that equates to around 5 or 6 years since she will probably be given every remission possible). Her partner, Junaid Abuhamza, was sentenced to an unspecified term but no less than seven and a half years. (This will probably also equate to 5 or 6 years).

The couple were also sentenced for other crimes against the children but these sentences were concurrent so were simply pro-forma and had no impact upon the potential prison term.

NOW this despicable couple have been granted permission to appeal against the 'severity' of their sentences!

When are crime and punishment going to bear some relationship? When are innocent victims, who cannot appeal against their slaughter, going to be protected or, at least, avenged by society? The Lord may have said vengeance was His but we were given free will and the right to punish evil doers.

Is the life of a seven year old child only worth a slap on the wrist to her killers? Is British society now so limp wristed that it will cow down before an appeal against a lenient sentence in order to subjugate some warped sense of racial discrimination?

Gordon and Abuhamza carried out a campaign of hate and the infliction of pain and suffering for a very long time against an innocent child. How long, do you suppose, Khyra and the other children suffered the torment of the damned? It takes a long time to starve a child to death. It takes a particular kind of mental corruption for a mother to watch her own child fade away for want of food.

Yet these sad and evil individuals are now going to be able to relive the torture (does it give them a vicarious thrill talking about it, I wonder) in order to claim that they should not be sent to HM Rest Home for the amount of time decided.

Khyra will not get the justice she has already been denied. The other five children will not get justice. The indignant British public will not demand justice for fear of being labeled 'racist'

Justice in the UK?

Don't make me laugh!


Contributor's Note

Does a child's soul not cry out for justice?
Does not society owe it to itself to punish evil?
Who will protect us if the law doesn't?

What kind of justice is received? There is no exact justice for society - The People. In the name of expediency, our courts have degenerated into gross bargain basements. Prosecutors bargain away justice by making deals with obviously guilty defendants. The prosecutors agree to lower the charges; the defendants agree to plead guilty. Tens of thousands of guilty people are sent back onto the streets of the city in this way, uncorrected, unpunished, and even unrepentant, to commit more of the same crimes that brought them to court in the first place. What about the system? There exists a kind of controlled chaos throughout the whole system, a chaos that is instantly visible to any observer, a chaos that cheats everyone of justice.

I think the apology made by the BBC because a very well known and respected Wimbledon comentator described a female player as 'chunkily built' sums up the priorities in the nancified world of political correctness.

Murder can be downgraded to 'manslaughter while not responsibble, mentally' but an off-the-cuff and valid comment can only be magnified and used to pillory and continually punish. There are hundreds of blogs discussing the 'chunky' comment - none that I have found discussing the vile murder of a seven year old.

Society is very, very sick!

Reminds me of the story I read of the South Korean couple whose baby starved because they were "addicted" to video games.

The do-gooders will say that the poor couple who took the innocent's life had a bad childhood, a rough upbringing, along with umpteen other 'mitigating' circumstances which is why they are like they are. So eventually we feel more sorry for the criminals than their victims. Personally I'd put them in prison and throw away the key, but that isn't the British way. Meanwhile we let people out of jail early, only to take up where they left off. We let people out on bail, only to see them commit more crimes. Crazy!

The really crazy part is that the amount of money that will be spent on this despicable couple during their enforced holiday could be used, instead, to help many families to over-come severe poverty and desperation.

Maybe prisoners should only be allowed to eat what poor pensioners are forced to subsist on while the pensioners are given the food that criminals are given for no charge.

I watched a TV programme the other day, one where the cameras follow the work of the police. In this particular episode the police pulled a car over which had no number plates. The police did their usual checks, and discovered the young driver and car had an ASBO due to anti-social bahaviour. The driver claimed his number plates had been stolen some weeks previous. The driver was on bail. The policeman told him that if he was carrying any drugs he should say so, because if he was searched and anything found on him then the driver WOULD GO TO THE POLICE STATION. No, ifs or buts. The driver was searched, and the police saw he'd thrown some drugs to one side whilst he was sat in the back of the police car. So, guess what? The policeman made a phone call, then told the culprit that as there was no room left in the custody suite he'd be released. NO having to go to the station. As it happened the lad was arrested a few days later for breaking the terms of his bail. Sadly, the law has become a joke, and the criminals know it.

Sad - but true.
