The good people of Britain are now charged with paying for Jamshid Piruz’s care and comfort for the rest of his life after he was sentenced to life in prison for a terrifying claw hammer attack on police.
Piruz is from Afghanistan but was sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2007 (quick do the math, wait, something wrong here) for murdering a woman in the Netherlands by slitting her throat. To answer my own parenthetical, yes, he only served 6 years in the klink for murder, and then I guess they thought he was all good and tossed him out to the unsuspecting public.
Apparently he flew to Britain in December to visit relatives, missed his flight, spat at an airline employee, was court ordered to pay compensation, so he became a Muslim entrepreneur and started robbing houses.
The cops caught him in the act of robbing a home, and that’s when the attack began:
You can see they used a tazer on him, and according to reports, they did it THREE TIMES. His heavy clothing prevented them from having any effect. THAT’S why cops in America shoot suspects when they’re a lethal threat. That doesn’t mean every shooting is justified, but police critics ignore these kinds of examples.
More from Sky News:
PC Chick was trapped screaming behind a pillar by Piruz, who swung the hammer at her.
She said: “I have never been so scared in my life. I have never been in a situation where I thought ‘this is it, I am going to die or I am going to be brain dead’.”
PC Young, who was hit in the neck, said it was “akin to a horror film.”
Piruz pleaded guilty at Hove Crown Court to burglary, as well as two counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent and affray.
The Sky News article, curiously, doesn’t mention where he’s from in the entire article and only points to Kabul at the very last sentence:
“He suffers from post traumatic stress disorder after he witnessed the murder of his parents by the Taliban when he was 11 years old and subsequent experiences living in Kabul during the war.”
And that, is because they’re offering a defense for his horrific behavior.
