UK - Sick Knife Attacker Walking Free From Court Despite Conviction Prompts Outrage

An 18-year-old man in the UK shocked residents when he brandished a "zombie" knife and attempted to stab the occupants of a car that clipped his bicycle. Joshua Gardner pulled the illegal weapon from his pants when the car nearly knocked him off his bike. Passers-by were shocked by the attack as Gardner repeatedly tried to smash the car's windows with the deadly weapon to get at the occupants inside.

Another vehicle with a dashcam caught the whole incident on film and shows Gardner eventually breaking the passenger-side window and trying to stab the driver. Luckily, the driver managed to escape on foot and fled the scene in fear of his life which is what you are required to do in UK law.

The dash cam video quickly went viral after it occurred around 5 p.m. local time on May 30, 2018. Gardner admitted to the attack and possession of an offensive weapon and was convicted at trial last week of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm. Judge Anuja Dhir QC who presided over Gardner's case said the "extremely serious" incident warranted a jail sentence.

Most people would agree Gardner is a danger to society and a jail term is essential to get him off the streets, yet the female judge let Gardner walk free from the courtroom and suspended his two-year prison sentence. Why you may ask? The explanation Judge Anuja Dhir gave for setting Gardner free was because he has "a realistic prospect of rehabilitation".

Instead of jail, Gardner received essentially a slap on the wrist which consisted of a nine-month curfew between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and 150 hours of community service. Gardner will also be required to complete up to 20 days of rehabilitation and 19 "thinking skills" sessions.

This man nearly killed another man in a road rage incident using an illegal weapon, the whole attack was captured on video, yet Joshua Gardner was set free back to the streets. Apparently, the judge thought her punishment "offers protection to the public" yet it is not clear how. Her exact words were, "Given all that I have seen, heard and read about you, I think this sentence offers protection to the public and punishment by way of a curfew and the unpaid work, but also it provides you with an opportunity to address your offending behavior."

Even the police are upset that Gardner was allowed to walk free. A Scotland Yard superintendent named Roy Smith was one of many who called out the ruling which sparked outrage. Smith said the ruling "does not provide any form of deterrent." The Camden Police wrote on Twitter, "If nothing else, it simply sends the wrong message."

A senior prosecutor at the CPS named Michael Halepas said the case was not difficult to prosecute due to the dash cam footage. Halepas said, "The violence that unfolded so suddenly in broad daylight on a busy Croydon street horrified members of the public. Joshua Gardner pulled a zombie knife out and used it to savagely smash the door of a vehicle in to get to the driver inside. Luckily for the driver who fled the scene, Gardner did not pursue him beyond the vehicle."

He continued, "The key evidence, in this case, was the dash-cam footage that captured the attack. Gardner denied that he intended to cause any harm, but using the strong video evidence supplied by a passing vehicle’s dash-cam, the prosecution was able to prove to jurors that he was lying. The jury was satisfied that Gardner had intended to use the zombie knife against the victim and not merely scare him."

"We recognize the scourge of serious knife crime on this city and are working hard to prosecute offenders."

Schumer admits he is negotiating with Trump on the wall – and liberals are furious over it

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) admitted Tuesday that he has conceded some ground in negotiations with President Donald Trump over the proposed border wall, and liberals are furious over it.

Build the wall?

CNN’s Manu Raju reported that Schumer was willing to cede $1.6 billion for border wall funding, far less than the $5 billion the president was requesting.

“Sen. Chuck Schumer tells reporters at his on-cam presser that Democrats’ position is $1.6 billion for wall funding,” Raju tweeted, “far less than the $5 billion Trump wants – but he won’t say if Democrats are shutting the door on anything more, saying he’s not going to negotiate in public.”

Raju later indicated that Schumer’s office corrected the statement by adding that the $1.6 billion was for border security, including fencing, but not a wall.

“The $1.6 billion for border security negotiated by Democrats and Republicans is our position,” Schumer said at the media briefing.

“We should stick to this agreement”

Schumer later tweeted a clarification, saying that Trump would cause a government shutdown if he didn’t agree to the Democrats’ terms.

“We should stick to this agreement. If POTUS interferes, he is responsible for a shutdown,” he tweeted.

“This is a joke… we don’t deserve to be in power.”

But many on the left saw the negotiation as a complete capitulation to Trump, and they did not shy away from saying so on social media.

“This is malpractice, politically and substantively,” said MSNBC host Chris Hayes.

“Your periodic reminder that Nancy Pelosi was the only person in all of Democratic leadership to face a coup attempt. Also Dems on track to win 40 net House seats, cede FL, MO, IN and ND U.S. Senate seats. All of this is fine,” tweeted fellow MSNBC host Joy Reid.

“People living in our borderlands would have their environment and communities destroyed by Trump’s wall, @SenSchumer. They deserve a public debate,” tweeted the official ACLU account. “We’ll start: There’s no reason Democrats should be giving in and allocating any funding for a wall, let alone $1.6 billion.”

“No idea why Chuck Schumer is still the Senate Minority leader,” said journalist Molly Knight. “This is a joke. If he’s the best we can do then we don’t deserve to be in power.”

“The moral position on this would be $0 for a wall, but the next principled stand Chuck Schumer takes will be his first,” tweeted the official account for the New York Democratic Socialists.

Others, like transgender political activist Charlotte Clymer, blamed sexism for the uprising against House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as compared to Schumer.
