The Metropolitan Police have announced that they have arrested a man believed to be the culprit behind a string of anti-Semitic attacks in the heavily Jewish area of Stamford Hill in North London.
According to a report by the broadcaster LBC, ‘The 28-year-old was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of five racially aggravated assaults and remains in custody at an east London police station.’
There was shock and disgust in Britain when both still and moving images of a man in distinctive Islamic clothing was seen punching an elderly Jewish man in the face followed by reports that the man had been involved in other attacks on Jews in the Stamford Hill area. This blog covered this story at the time and noted it as yet another example of Islamic Jew hatred, but sadly the sort of Jew hatred that few in the Establishment really want to talk all that much about.
Credit of course needs to be given to the Met on this occasion for actually managing to arrest this particular Jew hating savage. However, knowing what I do about the Met’s increasing apparent political bias, such as their kid gloves treatment of the BLM/Marxists and their less than stellar performance when confronted with gangs of mostly Muslim ‘Palestine’ demonstrators some of whom called for the rape of British Jewish women, I’m quite surprised that they managed to get off of their arses over this case. I suspect that the massive levels of publicity and the sharing of images and accounts of the horrible attacks allegedly carried out by this Muslim identified individual may have played some part in getting the Met to pull their finger out over this case. The significant amount of publicity about this case and the disgust of it voiced by Jew and non-Jew alike along with the input from the Jewish neighbourhood watch group the Shomrim, might have prevented the Met from sweeping this incident under the carpet in order to not upset the more volatile parts of London’s Muslim population.
Whilst it is to be somewhat celebrated that there has been an arrest, that is only the start of the matter. We should wait and see if there are any charges brought in this case. When it comes to attacks on Jews or intimidation of Jews by Muslims or those who are alleged to be Muslims, charging seems to be done at a bit of a snails pace. For example: Those Muslims who were arrested for threatening rape to Jewish women in North London earlier this year have not yet been charged despite it seems there being an awful lot of evidence available to the police including video, car number plates and eyewitness statements.
An arrest of this violent Islamic bastard is good but I will not hold my breath waiting for him to be charged or prosecuted. Because this is a live case and therefore subject to sub judice rules, I cannot speculate about it too much but I suspect that due to the infiltration by the pro-Islam Left into both the police and the Crown Prosecution Service, there might be a significant degree of disappointment as to how this case is ultimately disposed of. I hope I’m wrong but a long term observation of how various police forces and the courts have dealt with stuff like this doesn’t exactly give me confidence in how it will be handled.
