Michael Alleyne: Ringleader of gang and as dumb as he looks.

Kinsella killers ‘marked men’ after life sentences – Crime, UK – The Independent

The killers of 16-year-old Ben Kinsella were jailed for life yesterday. Juress Kika, 19, Jade Braithwaite, 18, and Michael Alleyne, 20, from London, were told they would serve minimum terms of 19 years each after being convicted of murder.

Does 19 years living in hotel style accommodation, having health and dental care better than the average Briton (on site doctor and nurse as well as dentist), and all at the taxpayers expense, seem like a suitable punishment?

Is this fair on the family of murdered Ben Kinsella? Is it fair on the taxpayer? Is it fair on society that one day these good for nothing scumbags will be out and rubbing shoulders with the rest of us? Especially considering that they are sadistic criminals now at such a young age, and that in their 40s they are likely to be just the same, if not worse?

I don’t think so, they should have been executed, but maybe they still will be.

Marked For Death

Juress Kika: Now mainly performs fellatio on fellow inmates.

These wannabe gangsters lived in a bizarre world of TV and movie violence and lifestyles, now they may very well get to live a gangster style life first hand; living in fear and always having to look over their shoulders.

The judge at the Old Bailey, the Common Serjeant of London, Brian Barker, heard that the three had received letters from the prison service which are usually sent to inmates who are in fear of retaliation attacks. Often such prisoners stay in solitary confinement. Braithwaite’s lawyer told the court he understood he was a “marked man”.

The retaliation is expected to come from none other than the Adams family, no, nothing to do with the TV show, but a North London crime family on whose manor Ben Kinsella was killed. The Adams family have reportedly placed a big money contract on the heads of all three of Ben’s killers, apparently they were none too pleased about his senseless killing.

Where these three are going there are likely to be plenty of people wanting to curry favour with the Adams family, or just simply earn some easy money.

The irony is that it will take violent criminals to give the family of Ben Kinsella justice; as the British state is no longer capable of it.

Capital Punishment

Jade Braithwaite: Despite being 6′ 6″ tall, he still had to get two of his mates to help him stab a schoolboy

When the death penalty was abolished in Britain in 1965 the murder rate per million was 6.8. Today it stands at an incredible 20.3 murders per million people, an astonishing threefold increase in the murder rate since the abolition of the death penalty.

There are those that claim that the death penalty has no influence on murder rates, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, instead claiming that socio-economic factors have more to do with murder rates.

In the 1930s the world entered the Great Depression, a recession so bad it makes the current one look like a boom period. I know people that lived through it, and their stories make me realise what true deprivation and poverty are.

Few alive today have any inkling of what people in the 1930s went through, there were no benefits, no NHS and if you didn’t earn enough to feed yourself you either had to beg for food,  steal it or simply starve.

Despite all this hardship, the murder rate actually decreased during the Great Depression, from 8.3 in 1920 to 7.5 during the depression. So I think that it is safe to rule out poverty and hardship as reasons for our current epidemic of murders and violent behaviour.

In fact from 1900, when the murder rate stood at a lofty 9.6 per million, up until 1965, when the death penalty was abolished, the murder rate steadily declined over 60 years. Within a decade of murder no longer being punishable by death, 60 years of decline had been reversed and the murder was the highest of the century, so far. Within 20 years it had almost doubled.

Today our murder rate is higher than that of Israel and on a par with Libya. France’s murder rate is 15.9 per million, Germany’s 9.8.

Leniency

Tony Blair: The man who took a bad Criminal Justice system, and turned it into a god awful one

Successive British Governments have ensured that criminals in modern Britain face no real justice. Jade Braithwaite had already been convicted of mugging a schoolboy, but was virtually let off, for some bizarre reason, which presumably gave him the impression that British Justice was a misnomer. Despite being 20 years old, he had no job, and no inclination to find one and lived with his mother; who was presumably a soft touch.

Michael ‘Mickey’ Alleyene was also a convicted robber, car thief and had likewise seen British justice for what it was – a joke. Despite committing all these offences from the age of 15, he only served a nine month sentence for drug dealing. It was meant to be 18 months, but in modern Britain, criminals only serve half their sentence, and Alleyene had only just got out and was under the ’supervision’ of a youth offending team at the time of the murder.

Juress Kika started his criminal career aged just eleven. Convictions for ABH and shoplifting didn’t deter him, and why should they have, I doubt he got so much as a slap on the wrist. Just to demonstrate how tough the justice system is, he was arrested twice in the same year for the same offence, possession of cannabis, yet served no time for it. Kika was also convicted of robbery aged 17, again serving no time. Kika was wanted by police at the time of the murder for another stabbing, just ten days earlier.

I guess Ben Kinsella was the answer to the question; just who do these three have to kill to serve jail time in this country?

Once again it is possible to see a clear progression of these thugs from petty criminals to evil scum. The British Justice system failed Ben Kinsella time and time again by not punishing these three, nor even offering any form of deterrent to them. If the criminal justice system is not punishing criminals nor protecting the innocent, what is it doing?

Bobbies on the Beat

21st Century Police Officer: At least ED-209 had guns

It is often said that we just don’t have as many police officers as we used to, and that is why crime rates are so high, well it is true in part. We actually have more than double the number of police officers we had in the 1950s, when the murder rate was just 6.3 per million. Back then about 75,000 officers managed to keep the streets of Britain safe by acting as a visible deterrent to would be villains.

Despite there being more than 150,000 bobbies (not including Blunkett’s bobbies) in Britain today, your chances of actually seeing one are few and far between, unless you are speeding. Foot patrols and beat bobbies are old hat in Britain. Modern police officers sit in cushy air conditioned offices drinking coffee waiting for crimes to occur, whereupon they examine the CCTV evidence, release the suspect’s picture and await a tip off. Those 40% of crimes that are not covered by CCTV are simply filed away as ‘unsolvable’.

We should be thankful that these thugs were caught on CCTV and have been taken off the street, and pray that they do not appeal and get a more lenient sentence. With any luck they will get the sentence that they truly deserve, death, when someone from the Adams family catches up with them.

In the mean time we just have to worry about the thousands of other teenage thugs on the streets, and the police and courts inability or disinclination to deal with them.

Horrific Murder – Horror Film Blamed, Again!

June 2, 2009 · 2 Comments

Tied to a tree and set alight – from the film Severance

Petrol death of student Simon Everitt was so horrific that killers’ own families turned them in – Times Online

Two men and a woman face life in jail for tying a teenager to a tree, pouring petrol down his throat and setting him alight in a gruesome re-creation of a scene from a horror film.

Yet another sick murder and yet another poor prosecutor who tries to blame a horror movie as the cause of the sick crime.

Love triangle

I’m still not sure I understand fully what happened here, but it appears that the victim – Simon Everitt began seeing the girlfriend, or former girlfriend, of Jonathan Clarke. Rather than blaming his girlfriend for her infidelity, or himself for being inadequate Clarke decided that Everitt was to blame and set about planning his murder.

Again I blame that lack of discipline and accountability that children grow up with in modern Britain, there are no boundaries for them, so is it really surprising that they believe that they can do whatever they want, to whomever they wish?

Society has many problems, most of which are caused by years of mollycoddling children throughout their childhood, as if they were really little adults and not the same immature and misbehaving lot we were when we were children. From what I remember from my childhood, I’d do anything that I thought I could get away with and frequently push the boundaries to see just how far I could go, frequently resulting in good hidings.

the cane

Assuming children are the same as they were when I was at school, surely common sense shows that letting them decide for themselves what is wrong, never disciplining or punishing them other than laboriously explaining how they may have behaved inappropriately, is going end up with them running havoc?

Sure, hard discipline doesn’t work in all cases. There were boys (and it was always boys back then – yet today 25% of violent assaults are committed by women!) who either just didn’t seem to learn, or just didn’t care. Many times I remember flinching at their outbursts or actions, shaking my head thinking about the results and the forthcoming pain they’ll receive,  and asking myself, ‘why are they so stupid?’

Perhaps violence or harsh discipline doesn’t work with these kinds, but it sure works with 95% of people, especially girls. I am trying to rack my brains and think of a time where a girl blatantly misbehaved. They did still misbehave back then of course, but rarely, if ever, within earshot or sight of teachers or any adult.

Today you’re just as likely to get verbally or physically abused by a young girl as a young boy at a bus stop or in town, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop them, and they know it. These young kids turn into violent, aggressive and spoilt young adults, who still believe no one can touch them and with frequently fatal results.

video nasties

Horror films have been getting the blame for violent acts for as long as I can remember, and not just horror films, also martial arts movies and more recently, video games. Most people in Britain have heard the term Video Nasties, used for the huge amount of films banned or severely cut by the BBFC in the 1980s, but blaming movies for violent acts of criminals began long before that.

For example the 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange was blamed in 1972 for the manslaughter of a schoolboy by his classmate; a lawyer in the case stating:

“the link between this crime and sensational literature, particularly A Clockwork Orange, is established beyond reasonable doubt”

Clearly getting confused about the term, reasonable doubt; the defendant never actually saw the film, something which is not unusual in these blame cases, he only heard about it from friends. But the blame was attributed and the damage done.

The film was also blamed for a rape and so A Clockwork Orange, was withdrawn or banned, depending on how you wish to view it. But the film, like many of the other video nasties that were once banned, such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist, The Toolbox Murders, I Spit on Your Grave, The Burning etc, are considered by modern audiences to be quite tame and often over rated. Although being banned has turned out to be quite a good selling point for awful films.

This shocking scene inspired a man to attempt to kill his wife and young son at an out of season hotel built on Indian land

In 1991, the film Child’s Play 3 was all over the press and blamed for having inspired the horrific murder of Jamie Bulger. Some papers claiming that the boys had viewed the film only days prior to their sick attack.

Other papers even went so far as to compare events in the film to the torture of Jamie Bulger and drawing conclusions as to which bits inspired which particular acts of sadistic torture. In reality neither of the two boys who murdered Jamie had seen the film, which displays the particularly depraved minds of some reporters, and despite Inspector Ray Simpson stating:

“[we] looked at all the videos in their houses and checked their lists of rentals from the shop. We did not find Child’s Play 3, nor did we find anything in the list that could have encouraged them to do what they did. If you are going to link this murder to a film, you might as well link it to The Railway Children”.

The film is still linked to the Jamie Bulger murder to this day, with many people ‘certain’ it was the cause. In reality the two depraved young boys were the only cause, two boys who are now walking around as free young men, with new identities and being carefully looked after by the taxpayer.

Severance

In this murder the movie Severance was blamed, a nothing special comedy horror, whose DVD sales will no doubt rocket after this case has ended. I have seen the film but I had to really think to remember the tied-to-a-tree scene, it was nothing special and something seen many times before in films.

Although gory, the film was not particularly sick or shocking; and it certainly didn’t make me want to re-enact any of the scenes shown, well maybe just the one.

One memorable scene from the movie Severance.

Although I am not sure that those uniforms are strictly NHS issue.

Frankly, these days, I am sure that most kids witness far more real-life violence, threats and aggression in schools and on the streets than they ever do in films or video games.

Yet people like this prosecutor will continue to blame violent films for violent acts rather than realise that it is society’s inability to deal with everyday violence that is causing such crimes.

enough is enough

There was however a small ray of hope in this case. So shocked were the families of those involved that they actually testified against their own family members. Indeed they would never have been caught had not the mother of one of them turned him in.

Stewart’s mother contacted officers when he confessed to her and they learnt the location of the burial site when Clarke’s brother and sister came forward.

Such actions make a refreshing change to the sniggering relatives that jeer the families of the deceased. It is one thing to not support a relative accused of such crimes, entirely another to turn them in and testify against them.

It shows that the values such as honour and integrity; values that Britain was once famous for; are is still there, just below the surface.

Susan Lewis, 46, of Great Yarmouth, told of her devastation at having to turn in her own son to the police.
Mrs Lewis said: “I was devastated that I had to call but there was no way that I wasn’t going to. He told me exactly what happened and it had to be reported.”

She did the right thing but I don’t believe for one minute that it was an easy thing, nor could it have been easy for the others testifying against their own brother.

I only hope that they go away for a long, long time.

Self Defence Illegal – even after death

April 11, 2009 · 2 Comments

victim
Murdered outside his own home

Family of father stabbed to death by three thugs is denied compensation… because he tried to fight back | Mail Online

The family of a man who was stabbed to death by teenage thugs after he asked them to keep the noise down have been denied compensation – because he tried to fight off his killers.

It has been clear for years now that fighting back against an attacker is a sure fire way to end up in court, or even prison. But the family of poor Mr. Johnson have discovered that even being killed by your attackers is not enough, we are apparently meant to simply lay down and die.

Self-Defence is no defence

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority believe that by trying to prevent the scum outside his home from plunging the knife into him repeatedly, he contributed to his own death! Perhaps in CICA’s mad world, doing nothing would have meant that they’d  have given up earlier as it was no longer sporting?

Perhaps those on the CICA board were just plain dumbfounded as to why Mr Johnson went outside in the first place, they probably assumed that Johnson’s men on the gate would have dealt with it, or failing that, that he’d simply retreat to the South Wing of the house away from the noise of the street.

Clearly these people do not live in the real world.

“If this evidence shows that a victim’s behaviour contributed significantly to the incident they were involved in then we have to take that into account.”

Maybe they have a point, if Mr Johnson had not gone out that night then he’d still be alive today, probably.  Being as it was his house, and that he lived there, and that it was his property and family at risk, sooner or later he would have been forced to confront these louts. Protecting what little we have is what us ordinary people are forced to do, clearly a situation that those at CICA are unfamiliar with.

Police Service

As for calling the police, I really don’t think people bother with them anymore do they? There is little chance of the them turning up, and if they do it’s a fair chance the caller ends up in trouble. The new modern British Police service is proof positive that the Zimbardo study was not a one off.

We are, quite literally on our own in Britain, the police are next to useless, the judiciary is tipped in the criminals favour and the Government could care less, after all they are above the law.

The amount of compensation that the family of Mr Johnson are entitled to, but will not receive due to a broken and corrupt system is a mere £11,000. Had Mr Johnson still been alive, took up heroin, committed a heinous crime and been locked up for it where the prison service forced him to go cold turkey; chances are he’d have gotten more money.

As for contributing to his own death, yes, Mr Johnson clearly did, by not getting out of this rapidly declining country years ago.

Thug and his crack whore back on streets

Tony Virasami – Evil thug

Shoplifter who killed innocent man in supermarket queue jumping row could be freed ‘within a year’ | Mail Online

The relatives of an innocent shopper killed by a violent thug in a Sainsbury’s queue spoke of their disgust yesterday that he could be free in less than a year.

This is disgusting. I didn’t really expect them to do real jail time, after all this is Britain – where justice is not only blind but mentally impaired; but less than a year? It beggars belief.

Waste of taxpayers money

When I said that any sentence that this man serves would be a waste of taxpayers money, I was not prompting the Justice system to let him out early and save some cash. I was referring to his long criminal record as an example of how little he cares for the Justice system, the tax payer and society at large and he should be put down like the rabid animal that he is.

Failing that he should have been locked away for a very, very long time and in my naivety that is what I assumed would happen. After all this man has a string of previous convictions, many of them for violence, and was even tagged when he killed Kevin Tripp, surely such an obvious career criminal would have been locked away and the key discarded?

For virtually the same offence, 19 year old Jake Fahri was given life – yet Virasami received just four years.

Speaking outside Southwark Crown Court yesterday, Mr Tripp’s brother Derek, 73, said: ‘How come he got five years for robbery and only four years for killing someone?’

This just shows the bizarre sentencing guidelines our Judges have, or perhaps the priorities that the Government has. Killing someone entails a four year sentence but stealing money a five year sentence. Also I find it quite patronising that Judges still say four years, when in reality the offender only ever serves half their sentence. Why didn’t the Judge just say two years and have done with it?

Crazed killer could have been stopped

Revealed: Police blunders that left knife thug free to murder Harry Potter actor | Mail Online

A serial knife attacker was found guilty yesterday of murdering teenage Harry Potter actor Robert Knox.

Once again we have a situation where an innocent has been killed by a maniac thug, and once again it is apparent that his tragic murder could have been avoided, if only the British justice system had some teeth.

Fruitcake

Karl Bishop is an evil sadistic ruffian.

The killer left court swaggering and grinning as he was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison yesterday.

Unbeknownst to him, he’ll be swaggering for a different reason soon. Unlike for his previous offences, Karl Bishop will now be in a big boys prison and fortunately it is likely to be full of particularly nasty lifers, with a penchant for butt fucking the new boys. It will probably be the only way of bringing tears to his eyes for what he has done.

This loon was a murder waiting to happen. It wasn’t the first time that he had been caught using a knife, in fact it was the fifth. For six years this knife wielding lunatic has been at large and causing mayhem, yet he has only served two years inside before getting his life sentence, and even then it was a young offenders centre.

This is despite:

By the age of 16 – having been expelled from school for his angry outbursts – he was being investigated for threatening a man with a knife. On that occasion the charges did not stick and the case against him was dropped.

But in December 2004 he slashed the same man and his friend with a knife as they waited at a taxi rank in Bromley.

The following March he was named as a suspect in one knifepoint robbery but there was thought to be insufficient evidence.

Two days later he was said to have threatened a man with a knife in a row over drugs. Police were informed but they failed to act.

A classic case of a sick individual who was only going to keep attacking people until he eventually killed someone, yet he was still allowed to walk the streets.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission confirmed that two Metropolitan Police officers had been disciplined over the handling of that complaint.

Why? They were only doing their job, and what all other police officers are doing, simply investigating the easy crimes in order to meet targets. With only four in ten crime being actively investigated by the police, it is no surprise that they didn’t bother with this one. After all, no one died. Well at least until later when he killed Robert Knox.

knox

Robert Knox was stabbed five times by a callous Karl Bishop.

Psychopath

I cannot understand why someone within the judicial system did not realise that this man was a serious danger to the public; he had warned the week before ‘I’m going to come back next week and someone is going to die.

The fact that not only did he go back the next week, but he was carrying two 12 inch knives prove beyond any doubt that the mentalist meant what he said. Unfortunately for everyone, it wasn’t him that died.

The Judge said:

There is plainly a very significant risk to the public of serious harm caused by your committing further specified offences of violence.

Yet he won’t stay behind bars indefinitely. When he gets out of prison he will be even more of a headcase than when he went in, as unlikely as that sounds. Even if he never commits another crime the rest of his life; he is never likely to be a productive member of society.

The state should treat him with the same contempt as he has shown to his victims, including the six people he stabbed on the night of the murder, and hang him. I am sure that as he is being led to the gallows he’ll start to feel sorry for what he has done, and he certainly won’t believe then that his actions were ’sweet’.
