Just under a week ago, Walt told you about a Libyan asylum-seeker called Khairi Saadallah, who was (it seems) frustrated by the "social isolation" resulting from the Covid-19 lockdown in Not-so-great Britain, and took it out on a bunch of "protesters" gathered in Forbury Gardens, a public park in Reading, about 40 miles west of London. Three people were killed and three more wounded before Mr Saadallah was detained.It has since emerged that the attacker, a devout follower of the Prophet Mohammed until he became a Baptist "in order to marry a white girl", had a thing about the alphabet people, something about their gayness being "unnatural" and "sinful", which "triggered" him since he saw the rainbow flag on display, this being "Gay Pride" month and all.
The official line, now, is that, while the killings were declared a suspected terrorist incident, mental health appeared to have been a significant factor. "Official documents" describe the new Christian's "various mental health issues", as well as struggles with debt, homelessness and alcohol abuse.
Let us see, now what excuse is offered for another sometime Muslim, a Sudanese national named Badradeen, who repeatedly complained about his living conditions in Glasgow's Park Inn hotel, which had been turned into a shelter for asylum-seekers, before going on a stabbing rampage, wounding six, before being shot dead by police on Friday. [Finally, one for our side! Ed.]
Mr Badradeen's erratic behavior allegedly prompted fellow hotel residents to report him to a British social worker. He arrived in the United Kingdom about six months ago, and started complaining almostimmediately about the food in the shelter, as well as the noise, threatening to attack fellow "refugees".
"He said that he was going to attack two guys in the room next to his because they're were making noise to deliberately annoy him," an asylum-seeker, identified only as Siraj, told the Daily Mail. Mr Siraj claimed that the Sudanese had also told him he was "fed up" and "very angry", and complained that there was "no daylight in his room." Several acquaintances interviewed by the tabloid believed that Mr Badradeen was gradually becoming insane and some had alerted the shelter staff, apparently to no avail.
"I think he was getting more mentally ill over the three months... He had gastric problems and had to isolate for around 20 days and his room had no light from a window," Nigerian-born Beatrice Onwuka said. She added the man had few friends, didn't speak much English, and ultimately changed his mind about seeking asylum in the UK.
"Authorities" now say... wait for it... that the sorry state Mr Badradeen allegedly found himself in might have been due to the measures the British government has taken to combat the corona virus pandemic. Asylum-seekers who had previously been living, as guests of British taxpayers, in apartments were moved to hotels during the pandemic. And instead of receiving money to buy food (or alcohol or drugs), they were forced to make do with three squares a day, served at the hotel. Many complained about getting the same food all the time, and Mr Badradeen said he was "very hungry" while living at the hotel.
Sky News reported that shortly before Friday's attack, Mr Badradeen phoned a "liaison officer" and an immigration lawyer. The lawyer promised to pass the man's concerns to the "safeguarding" team at the Home Office, which deals with protecting vulnerable people. The Home Office, responsible for the police, has not yet released the names of the vulnerable people injured by the attacker, except for the copper, who is said to be in critical but stable condition. Those injured in the rampage are believed to be residents and staff members of the hotel... sorry, shelter.
Mr Badreadeen was shot dead by police responding to the incident. The British "authorities" now say they are not treating the case as terrorism, just temporary insanity brought on by social isolation. Nothing Islamic about that, right?!
