Unbelievable that this vile subhuman may one day walk the streets again in his 60s. He is a gutless coward and was a loser in life. I hope other inmates get at him in prison.

Rest in Peace to the poor three little girls, who had their whole lives ahead of them.

How red flags over Southport killer were repeatedly missed

On three separate occasions Axel Rudakubana was referred to the counter-extremism Prevent programme

Rudakubana from his bedroom, engaged in a self motivated obsession to immerse online terrorist ideology posing a terrorist danger.

Prevent a vital front line official national counter-radicalisation initiative that identifies venerable individuals from falling for terrorist ideologies.

Kier Starmer was fully aware of the above stated circumstances, as Angela Rayner denied any extremist element involvement in the massacre.

I hope this public inquiry guidelines embraces alleged government failures to fully inform the public.

Should be Hanged, the world will be better off without this THUG.

52 years in prison without parole is a harsher sentence than hanging which was abolished in the UK anyway. He will be 90 by then and will probably die in prison.

A nasty crime the families and friends of the victims will also live for the rest of their lives. Southport is now marred with that murderous crime instead of being known as a quiet seaside town.

There will be a public inquiry but it won't bring back those little girls.

18 + 52 = 70.

18 + 52 = 70.

I am corrected teeach.

But it's

He will die in prison regardless of his sentence term. He will be segregated from other prisoners who will want to kill him.

The killings triggered days of anti-immigrant violence across the country after far-right activists seized on incorrect reports that the attacker was an asylum-seeker.

He was however, the child of asylum granted parents. So if they had not been granted stay in the UK, those girls would still be alive.

The scope of this public inquiry should be far reaching.

Communities need to have the confidence that those we put our trust to protect our families, law and order etc are free from political interference, importantly the scourge from all forms of toxic political correct dogma.

It is important if you can endure the horror watch and listen to the learned Judge summing up sentencing

They should punish his parents as well.

Terrorism is an action or threat designed to influence the government or intimidate the public. Its purpose is to advance a political, religious or ideological cause. The current UK definition of terrorism is given in the Terrorism Act 2006.

Axel Rudakubana was 17 when he committed these atrocities, was he at any point motivated by the purpose to advance a political, religious or ideological cause?

If not, the judge in his summing up stated so, then this leaves a quandary, the consequences could reflect future government legislature that could have wide ranging political significance to freedom of speech/ expression.

What's the charge?

Rudakubana won’t be very popular in prison which is sure to have a hierarchical system based on certain offenses…

Rudakubana was found to be in possession of certain materials which could be linked to the desire to cause widespread harm for political purposes.
