Clapham acid attacker - asylum seeker convicted of sex offence but still granted asylum?

He might have professed to turn Christian but he certainly didn't turn the other cheek.
Why are we ending up as a country filled with people the rest of the world don't want? Why did he need to escape Afghanistan?
As GMS says bent lawyers after money aid them to get asylum.

Usual vile comments being trotted out, I see...

Sadly! I just shuddered when I heard he was an asylum seeker, knowing how people would react when we should be focusing on the victims, hoping this evil man is quickly detained and tried and punished. Some people will use this as an excuse to blame migrants yet again for every wrong in our country.

We ARE a multicultural country and have been so my entire life m, 65 years, and before. Vile people commuting atrocious crimes are of all nationalities!

You are quite right Cossy but we have a dangerous problem in this Country of the disaffected Asylum S; often with mental problems.
The Southend MP who was stabbed.
The young Nottingham Students.
as examples.

If some bent lawyer hadn’t cooked up the Christianity ploy he wouldn’t have been here to commit these atrocities.

Poor mother and children, heartening to see people of many ethnicities went to their aid and have apparently suffered for their kindness.

“What the hell is happening to this country?
Send these scum to Rwanda ASAP.

Totally sick of these violent criminals being allowed to stay here.”

I did wonder how long it would it be before people started to become angry about this incident because the perpetrator was an asylum seeker!

Be angry at him as a human being carrying out a horrific crime.

We have many many home grown violent criminals, there are good and bad people if ALL nationalities.

Focusing simply on his migration status and nationality doesn’t help his victims, doesn’t help his fellow Afghans and certainly doesn’t help the growing and open xenophobia and racism so rife in our country.

I wish a full and speedy recovery to the poor family attacked and that this awful criminal is arrested and tried in our court and then deported. Not because he is an asylum seeker, but because he’s an evil, violent criminal and he can take his chances back in his country of origin.

What an awful thought that we should ship known criminals off to Rwanda with other innocent asylum seekers!

I think regardless of any person’s ethnicity or background anyone who throws acid or a corrosive substance at another human being ought to be hanged. It’s a sad fact that this method of attack is more frequently used in other parts of the world.

If he qualified for asylum, which it seems he eventually did, then there is no way of knowing if he might go on to commit an offence, any more than there is of any citizen.

A proportion of people will commit crimes, whether they are native British or from another country.

To say he converted to Christianity is really a ploy to stay in this country. Aided and abetted by a tax payer funded lawyer. They will say anything to do so.

Just heard on the news he injured 12 people really badly.

The public are therefore being told to keep away from him.

He should not have been granted asylum here as the safety of the citizens of this country have to come first.
He was a convicted sex attacker and has now gone on to commit this horrendous attack.
He should be sent back.

It is a disgrace that he was allowed to commit this crime.
Who do we have living here?
Potentially we have imported an army, fed, clothed and housed them.
It’s not going to have a happy ending.
I do not believe multiculturalism is working in the UK.

He was an Afgan. You have no knowledge of what his original offence was, but it wouldn't be a death sentence he could be facing if sent back there

I agree in principle, but after the events in Clapham if he is convicted he should be sent back to his place of birth.

According to the news this man arrived from Afghanistan in 2016 in the back of a lorry.

Was convicted in 2018 of sexual assault/exposure but not jailed.

He had his claim for asylum refused twice, on the third attempt he claimed to have converted to Christianity and was granted leave to remain in U.K.

The eyewitness reports that I have seen on the news regarding what happened to the 3yr old little girl when she was dragged from the car are harrowing.
