The reporters on TV (Sky) are actually in tears covering it.
Crocodile tears.
Dashcam footage played in court along with CCTV of his rampage , slaying children (distressing details)
The victims families are distressed some have left I think
The defendant is NOT in court or in the dock
They’ve put him in a side room and he’ll be brought back for sentencing and when the judge sums up
Turn him over to the male relatives of the little girls he murdered. Make a video of what happens and distribute it far and wide.
I suggest drawing and quartering or burning at the stake
The families of the girls should have somebody waiting for this scum when he’s released.
Court in session
Defendant brought back to the dock...
MORE DISRUPTION...
He’s shouting out again demanding a paramedic
Sky says he has been removed from court — again!!
2 paramedics have said he is fit to attend court
Prosecutor says he had Al Qaeda academic papers on his tablet...
Heer, for the prosecution, continues to describe documents that the police found Rudakubana had downloaded - including one called Military Studies In The Jihad Against The Tyrants, The Al Qaeda Training Manual, which contained advice and instructions on committing acts of terror.
The prosecution outlines that the manual had been downloaded on three occasions in 2021.
By the time Rudakubana went to The Hart Space studio last July, he was in possession of instructions in the manual on carrying out a knife attack with lethal force, Heer says.

VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT
Dance instructor Leanne Lucas’ statement - in full
Leanne Lucas - who was stabbed five times during the attack - has just read this statement to the court:
As a 36-year-old woman, I cannot stay in my own home alone. As a 36-year-old woman I cannot go to work. As a 36-year-old woman I cannot walk down the street without holding my breath as I bypass a person and then glance back to see if they’ve attempted to stab me.
As a 36-year-old woman I cannot enter a public place without considering how I will get out in the event of an emergency. As a 36-year-old woman I cannot give myself compassion or accept praise, as how can I live knowing I survived when children died.
There was a long period of time after the incident where I felt I had no trust in society. I am trying to see the goodness in the world however the badness has been evidentially proven to me to exist, in plain sight, on our doorsteps, in our community.
You never think this is going to happen to you, I never thought this was going to happen to me and now my mindset has been altered to it could happen to you and it will probably happen to you. I feel that I have lost the ability to accept people now as they are. I worked with teenagers, I never would have considered that they would hurt me or hurt younger children.
I spent many months thinking about the incident 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Just when I felt I could settle and try to move forward, the trauma of that day is now back at the forefront. I constantly see his face; new memories have appeared, and this will continue to happen for the rest of my life.
My role in Southport was to help others, mainly children and their families. My work was a safe haven for those who needed it the most.
All I wanted to do was make a positive impact and highlight goodness and positivity. Families felt a part of a community I had built, from scratch, being self-employed. I have now lost my role, my purpose and my job as I can no longer provide that guidance and reassurance to anyone.
I feel like I can no longer be trusted again, I know people will disagree and say that is not true however his actions have proven I can never feel that level of responsibility again where there may be dangers to others. On that day I received several injuries that have not only affected me physically, but also mentally. I, as do the girls, have scars we cannot unsee, scars we cannot move on from.
Visual daily reminders of not only what he has done to us, but a stark reminder of what others can still do to us. I endured three hospital stays where I undertook multiple surgeries and received treatment for my injuries.
At a time where home comforts may have helped me, I sat staring at a hospital wall further impacting my mental health.
My family and friends suffered during this whole period of time, not being able to process what had been done because they were sat by my bed side trying to support me. The trauma of being both a victim and a witness has been horrendous. There are times when I will spiral into trauma and the effect this has had on those close to me is unforgivable.
The impact this has had on me can be summed up by one word: trauma. He targeted us because we were women and girls, vulnerable and easy prey. To discover that he had always set out to hurt the vulnerable is beyond comprehensible. For Alice, Elsie, Bebe, Heidi and the surviving girls, I’m surviving for you.
Satan himself owns that one.
.......hes scary.........
BREAKING NEWS
He’s been given 52 years for the murders
!!!!
Judge still sentencing him on various other charges
“It is very unlikely this person will ever be released”
CHEERS heard from the court .
This is the 2nd longest min. term ever given in an English court
Do we even need to look at the mugs shot to know?
I know who imported them
Just look at the States that caused the horrible civil war, the same states where the SEC resides. Irish could have picked Cotten, but the olde Tyme southern cornual sanders have approved. The south destroyed our great Union. And it will likely never improve even after 1000 years due to stupidity and all mighty dollar of paying slaves nothing. No reasonable person even back than other than Gen Lee and other racists wanted chattel slavery to ever end. The USA was the second to the last country to outlaw slavery and it took millions of lives to do so.
Only Brazil was the last. The south ruined our country, but they produce the best football players, hoop players, and rapper’s. Do you grit eaters have any remorse for how you as a confederate illegal state fukd the USA for thousands of yers> I think not because I read posts from the ex confederacy and none do not think it was not a just war to keep millions in captivity! Did they ever consider even once that the slaves will be free and screw our country what it could have been? Where is the poster that honors Confederal generals. Does he love being under the boot of his family slave? This whole slavery issue should have been solved 50 years before the civil war, but no lets keep importing 3rd or 5th world people from the stone age to clean the fields. Those that counter thar Africa and the Muslims did it to themselves is a cop out.
200 years ago, Africa beardly made fire let alone the wheel which should have been in use 5000 years ago, and these are your poppled you import to do the work others will not do, that total bs
It’s the same excuse for illegal aliens letting them in but not breeding them like cattle to create superhuman field workers. I have no love lost for the ex-confederal treasonous states. Yeah, They picked Cotten great 180 years ago, but you fuked up the entire country I live in. Do you not have no shame sir, Do you not carry any shame in your brethren and relativeness importing 5th world nation people that will soon have their own boot on your own throat? The ex confederate states need to apologize to the rest of the nation that is hard working and a true Citizen of the USA. What the south did in the 1850-66 is unimaginable.
I have never once met a native of the south ever claim culpability, its only a lost cause explanation. I’m sick of it because of the great relocation to the north once great cities form the 1910’s to the 1940’s a great many of good cities got destroyed by this immigration. Detroit used to be a haven like Clevland, Gary Indiana and many other cities that flurished, only to be dumped upon...
well, who imported his relatives? One can complain about murder but who invited him?
typical confederate import
Where millions of USA citizens fought to stop and millions died.
Who is that guy with a picture of a confederal general on his posts? Does he support the breeding and expansion of slave murderers?
Were all of the Southers just gents
