Muslims Kill Liberals pt 8

The father of one of the victims of the most recent London Bridge terror attack has penned a public letter, and it's everything you'd expect out of Clown World.

Jack devoted his energy to the purpose of Learning Together: a pioneering programme to bring students from university and prisons together to share their unique perspectives on justice. ... He would be seething at his death, and his life, being used to perpetuate an agenda of hate that he gave his everything fighting against. 

Jack would be seething at his death, because it has fueled a far-right reaction of perpetrator-blaming. One has to wonder if his last words - as he laid bleeding out on Britain's iconic landmark at the hand of one Usman Khan - was to apologize for his privilege.

The great irony here is that Jack's life work was prison reform. He wanted prisons to focus on rehabilitation rather than long-term incarceration. Well, his assailant had been released early for just those reasons. Previously convicted for terrorism related crimes for which the maximum penalty was a life sentence, Khan was sentenced to sixteen years and released after eight - apparently having been deemed rehabilitated by a parole judge. He then proceeded - less than a year after regaining his freedom - to attend one of Jack's Learning Together conferences.

He attended a “Learning Together” conference for ex-offenders, and used the event to launch a bloody attack, stabbing two people to death and wounding three others.

Sometimes reality truly is stranger than fiction.

Heavy.com reports on the elder Merritt's Twitter activity:

Merritt’s dad said his son wouldn’t want people to use his death to advance policies he was fighting against.

“My son, Jack, who was killed in this attack, would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily,” Merritt’s dad, David Merritt, wrote on his Twitter page.

Merritt added: “Cambridge has lost a proud son and a champion for underdogs everywhere, but especially those dealt a losing hand by life, who ended up in the prison system.”

He called Jack a “beautiful spirit.

He was not a beautiful spirit. He was very naive, at best. He was an active cheerleader for the the destruction of British society, and the suicidal advocacy is now carried on in his name by his own father - who avows that the most tragic aspect of his son being murdered in the heart of a London by a convicted terrorist is that some people will have the gall to look negatively upon the ordeal. In some sense, we have to agree. Jack Merritt was directly punished for the same stupidity he was dedicating his life towards promoting.
