The family of a woman brutally murdered is furious after learning that one of the men being hailed as a hero in the Friday terrorist knife attack on London Bridge was the murderer they thought was in jail.
Amanda Champion, a disabled 21-year-old woman, was killed by James Ford in 2003. Ford ran into Amanda in the woods in Kent and proceeded to strangle her and slit her throat, according to the BBC. Amanda’s body was discovered three weeks later, badly decomposed. Ford was discovered as the prime suspect after he made several calls to a charity confessing the crime and threatening to kill himself.
Ford, now 42, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime in 2004 with the judge recommending that he serve a minimum of 15 years in prison. Ford was free on prison day release on Friday when he witnessed Usman Khan violently attack pedestrians on London Bridge with a knife. Ford and several other people intervened in the attack to subdue Khan until police arrived and gunned him down. At the time of his arrest, police described Ford’s actions as “motiveless crime and a senseless crime” and described him personally as a “very dangerous man.”
Khan, 28, was also out of prison serving only six years of a nearly two-decade sentence after being convicted of “terror-related charges” in 2012. He and Ford attended the same prison sponsored educational event the day of the attack.
Conundrum
Don’t say that like it’s a bad thing
(Ya ponce)
I’m detecting a pattern here…what could it be…perhaps it’s not a good idea to let convicted felons wonder about before serving out their entire sentences?
Well, I guess you could say it takes a convicted killer to catch one.
No? You’re right. Hang him.
Scotland Yards motto, “Right. What’s all this then?”
“He and Ford attended the same prison sponsored educational event the day of the attack.”
There’s at least one Pink Floyd song in this whole mess. Maybe a whole concept album, “The Narwall” perhaps.
There is bad in every Good Man
And Good in every Bad One
So Ford was out of Jail on the Willie Horton Program?
The Dude likes violence. No big mystery here. He will most likely die by violence. Which maybe what he’s after.
Most “heroes” seem to have a touch of rogue.
Pretty gutsy to attack (unarmed) a knife-wielding attacker.
izlamo delenda est …
…police described Ford’s actions as “motiveless crime and a senseless crime” and described him personally as a “very dangerous man.”
Wait! There was no motive and the crime was senseless, but the police still considered the suspect to be a “dangerous man”??
Which is it? Make up your mind!
Well, maybe he turned his life around and this good deed balances his score card.
It is funny however that everyone gets a second change except conservatives.
“He and Ford attended the same prison sponsored educational event the day of the attack.”
There are no coincidences in Islam. Khan probably told Ford of his intentions and now Ford is expecting some kind of ‘hero’ payback from the Islam-controlled city government. Never underestimate the power of taqiyyah/deception.
