"What you think is irrelevant to me, but for your information I'm not offended. I'm sickened"

then I will put it less tactuflly... you are in no position to take offense on behalf of his family... or to use their grief for your own rhetoric.

Untitled. You’ve said the same thing. I repeat. I am not offended. I am sickened.

Ok. It's clearly not intended as an insult to his family though to say that he "passed away" is it...

[lady-janine]

I am sickened by such behaviour from one person to another. Intentional harm at least, murder at most. I think in this case murder was intended.

[naomi24]

Stabbed 17 times is hardly a dreadful accident is it LJ. What is wrong with people? I despair.

[lady-janine]

That joke is a bit sick 10C.

Khan, was elected by the voters of London. He must be doing something right .

[naomi24]

Yes, Anne, he is … for them.

[anneasquith]

So he’s doing his job ?

did khan say it was an accident? I missed that

[lady-janine]

The poor man was murdered. He did not pass away. His death was planned not accidental.

I send my condolences to his family and friends but I am not offended on their behalf. I am appalled that anyone would behave in the way his murderer did.

Personally i don't believe there is anything to see here. The tweet from the MOL re Sir David Amess is clearly in response to the news that the man had died from his injuries. Not in response to the actual incident which he may well have tweeted about earlier. His 'passing' was not announced until some time after the incident.

I agree, lj... my opinion (totally irrelevant) is that he was murdered. I'm just asking if that is legally meant to be what is said, before the formal conviction?

[Gromit]

Usual standard nutty stuff from TTT.

Last Friday at 4:30 little was known about David Amess’ killing other than he had been stabbed. We did not know the ferocity of the attack, motive or assailant. To comment on his ‘passing away’ is and was fit and proper. It was not right comment on the crime at that time as very little was known about it.

Comparing two very different deaths is pointless.

One thing about terrorist killings is that the perpetrators are not detered, no matter what measures are suggested. That reminds me of a US navy veteran of WW2 in the Pacific, who said that the thought of someone fighting against you, (Kamikaze) and having no fear of death, is a terrifying thought in itself.

[naomi24]

Gromit, he was murdered. We were never in any doubt about that.

[naomi24]

That’s exactly right, clarion.

[lady-janine]

pixie - there is no way it could be claimed that it was accidental. so I don't think there is any doubt. I expect the defence will be that 'the balance of his mind was disturbed' but it was still intentional even if disturbed.

[Gromit]

Naomi24,
We know he was murdered. When Khan sent his Tweet shortly after the news broke, we knew very little. We did not know Amess had been stabbed 17 times. We did not know it was a terrorist attack. Khan was commenting on his death, not his murder.

Khan's tweet about Floyd was 11 days after his death, not a few hours. More details were in the public domain, and Khan was commenting on the crime, not on Floyd dying (who he didn’t know).
