• [OT] Passions high after Manchester terrorist attack

    From Rhino@no_offline_contact@example.com to rec.arts.tv on Sat Oct 4 17:03:07 2025
    From Newsgroup: rec.arts.tv

    If anyone is wondering how people in the UK are feeling about the
    Manchester terrorist attack on the synagogue and the way the government
    has responded, this should give you a pretty good idea:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncfNUe-s7ss [10 minutes]

    Overall, they are furious and frustrated at what happened and how it has
    been allowed to happen after years of government indifference. They're
    not ready to agree on mass deportations yet but ordinary people clearly
    want to do SOMETHING to stop the terrorism which they've imported.

    The father of the terrorist had apparently been quite outspoken about
    his hatred of Israel and Jews on social media but is now claiming that
    he's horrified by what his son did in Manchester.

    The son, by the way, turns out to have been out on bail on a rape charge
    when he attacked the synagogue. The judge apparently didn't think rape
    was a serious enough charge to keep him in jail until his trial: if he
    had, the terrorist's victims would still be alive.

    "If". One could reasonably expect that someone with a rape charge
    pending would be among the *least* prone to commit a different crime in
    the meantime.

    You're obviously not Canadian. Here, just about everyone charged by
    police for their latest crime gets additional charges tacked on because
    they committed the latest one while out on bail for one or more previous crimes. If bail is as easy to get in the UK, you could pretty much
    GUARANTEE that the person granted bail will keep right on committing
    crimes while they're waiting for their trial(s).

    I have known two different
    people who were arrested for
    a second DUI without having
    yet been sentenced for the
    first. You'd think someone
    awaiting trial would try to
    behave, but I guess human
    beings don't work that way.

    I work in a District Attorney's office. Humans absolutely do not work
    that way. A single defendant will frequently be having 5 or 6 criminal
    cases being heard in a single court hearing. It is not unknown for
    someone to be arrested within an hour of being released from jail on bail/probation.

    It's not just the fact of acquiring another case whilst on bond. It's
    highly likely that the judge granting bond in the first case imposed
    conditions like no alchohol and no drugs. This means he should be taken
    into custody, taken before the judge in the earlier case, them have his
    bond revoked. He then must remain detained till sentenced in the earlier
    case. It will also result in a higher sentence for the earlier case.

    My favorite recent example of that was a defendant who was out on
    probation (multiple cases) with a standard "No Firearms" clause. The gentleman in question promptly got an illegal handgun and stuffed it in
    his waistband. The weapon discharged into one of his testicles. I got
    to see the photos of the paramedics treating him.

    I don't know how the second
    case went, but in the first
    one I saw (in Massachusetts,
    late 90s), she did in fact
    receive a very stiff
    sentence. She got two years,
    while a more normal pattern
    would have given her a
    program for the first offense
    and 60 days plus a program
    for the second.

    Don't get me wrong. moviePig is willfully contributing STOOPID, as
    always. The thing is that the terrorist incident may have been the first violation of his bond conditions for the rape charge.

    But when did the rape occur? I cannot find a news report. I found this:

    Synagogue attacker was on bail for rape - police source
    BBC
    published at 17:51 BST 3 October

    Synagogue attacker Jihad Al-Shamie had been arrested for rape
    and was on police bail when he carried out the killings in
    Manchester, a police source tells BBC News.

    Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, was arrested on suspicion of rape. He was
    currently on bail at the time of yesterday's attack. He was not
    charged with the rape, the source says.

    What the hell is "police bail" without charges filed? If the case
    doesn't proceed through criminal court, how the hell does the defendant
    get sentenced to a prison term?

    In my state, yes, before bail reform. there were expedited procedures
    for misdemeanor charges in which arraignment is skipped. Police file
    charges, not a prosecutor. Charges were literally filed by the desk
    sergeant, who makes a decision about cash bail or released on individual recognizance bond. He cannot set bond conditions; these are standard.

    But the misdemeanor charge was filed.

    As far as when enough is enough, if the person arrested has an open
    case, or is on parole or probation (both sentences for felony
    convictions), he needs to be taken in front of the judge who set
    conditions for release. Depending on whether bond or probation or parole
    was violated, then pre-trial confinement for bond conditions violation
    or prison for probation or parole violation.

    I just don't uderstand why this happens so rarely.

    He's a Muslim migrant in the UK. Traditionally, the UK government does everything it can to cover up, minimize, excuse, and apologize for sexual assaults and rapes committed by Muslim migrants. "Police bail" is probably
    just another way of sweeping uncomfortable truths under the rug.

    The guy in North Carolina *was* taken before a judge for his most recent crime (which was also a violation of some probation or parole or bail) and was nevertheless released unconditionally by the judge. A week later Iryna was bleeding out on a commuter train and he was proudly announcing to the other passengers, "I got that white girl" while her blood dripped from his knife.

    He was on multiple bonds for multiple open cases, if I recall
    correctly. What I'm saying is that, regardless of whether the judge who
    sent bond in the most recent case prior to the murder failed to rule that
    he was a danger to society and had to be held in pre-trial confinement,
    you'd think he could have been taken before one of the previous judges
    who had set bond conditions for a new hearing as to whether he violated
    the judge's order.

    Why isn't this a matter of routine? If it were, the most cases a
    defendant could pick up whilst on bond is one and not a dozen. Pick up
    one more case then the judge on the previous case finds that he violated
    bond.

    Who is at fault that this is not a matter of routine, the prosecutor?

    As far as a parole or probation violation, does that require a court
    hearing or is a finding of violation made administratively? Isn't there
    always an underlying prison term umder sentence that is not served if
    the prisoner complies with conditions?

    That was the aspect that most gobsmacked me. And no question there
    DOES seem to be a problem (and one that goes back 30+ years) with rape
    by Muslims (particularly Pakistani Muslims) against non-Muslim women particularly in the English Midlands.

    I mean sure I believe in 'innocent until proven guilty' but that's on
    the finding of guilt or innocence, not on whether or not to grant
    bail.

    "If". One could reasonably expect that someone with a rape charge
    pending would be among the *least* prone to commit a different crime in
    the meantime.

    If you can have a "non crime hate incident" placed in your criminal
    record - without a trial of any sort or be sentenced to 3 1/2 years
    (even if you're released after 9 months) for posting a nasty tweet
    which you have removed BEFORE the police start investigating then you
    surely can be held without bail in a rape case.

    (All of which you CAN have happen in the UK)

    If he said that then surely 'race related crimes' is at the very least
    an aggravating factor with no mitigating factors involved. Certainly
    would be if it was a white on black crime.
