Plane Mutiny Keeps Rapist in UK

A Somalian whose deportation from Britain was dramatically halted after airline passengers staged a mutiny demanding his release can be exposed today as a convicted gang rapist who was being kicked out of the country because of his sickening crime.

Plane Mutiny Keeps Rapist in UK

Well, here is some vigilantism gone horribly wrong. A bunch of do-gooders committed a crime to keep what they thought was some racist wrong doing being committed by the government. In reality, this dude was a gang rapist, and his brother was an ISIS fighter. Ooops. Bet they feel stupid. The punishment should be that they have to house the man for one year each.

What kind of twisted logic is that? The passengers were unaware he was a rapist and thought he was being unfairly deported for some reason. He should be in jail. Not in the comfort of someone’s homes!

The article doesn’t explain why he was been flown to Turkey in the first place if he was sentenced to prison, I find that very unusual?

Police should have arrested the protesters and continued with the deportation , the protesters were interfering in the judicial process.
Seems to me like a case of monkey see monkey do following the same thing that happened in Scandinavia , sad misguided fools.

Our wonderful justice system.

All four men denied rape, despite the existence of DNA evidence and they were found guilty at Wood Green crown court and each jailed for nine years.

Ahmed was reportedly released from prison after serving just over four years. He is now said to be in an immigration detention cente while officials try to place him on another flight out of thew UK.

I would have supported getting him off the plane too...

But I would have waited until it reached 30,000 feet.

Only a 4 year sentence for what he did, that is sickening.

It says security guards were escorting the guy on the plane not police. If it was the police I doubt the incident would have happened in the first place. Also why couldn’t the security inform the protesters of the perps crimes? It says they were unaware in the link.Why was he being flown to Turkey not Somalia? There’s something fishy about all this.

This would remind them.

Pehaps Somalia refused him or it was one of those 5 connection Ryan air flights to save money.

These same sort of people call the cops to get tickets on the vehicles of the working poor. They are the same ones to throw a fit and get you fired from your minimum wage job over imagined insolence.

Why dont these sort of people protest the police when they act as enforcers of unjust eviction laws? Why dont they mutiny and stop paying war taxes?

Why dont they go eff themselves?

I fully agree our justice system is backwards. Rapists, pedos, and drug dealing gangsters get light sentences while bank robbers get locked up with repeat life sentences. Not that bank robbers are good guys, but which crimes are worse?

Yeah , probably G4S guards or one of the other inadequate government contractors doing the job.

Why was he being flown to Turkey not Somalia?

We probably can't deport him to Somalia because of the political instability over there , we can't deport people to war torn countries so no doubt we have some kind of agreement with Turkey.

a reply to: lakenheath24

The story I read the other day was the passengers objected as the rapist was being abusive, aggressive etc and they didn't feel safe.

Should convicted criminals be deported on public flights?

Either wait until there's enough to fill a plane or buy up all the seats, ensuring there's no threat to the public.

Or, they could announce at the start of the flight why they're being deported and if anyone wants to get off, let them.

a reply to: gortex

That kind of makes sense, but why would Turkey or any country for that matter want to take in a convicted rapist that isn’t one of their own citizens? What kind of agreement would we have? What’s our end of the deal? This needs looking into further I think.

a reply to: surfer_soul

Perhaps we can't send him back to Somalia but the Turks can.

Well the original article in the op is from The Fail on Sunday so it’s bound to be as biased as possible. You raise some good points though. If they are going to deport criminals on public flights surely they should be in handcuffs under tight security so the public don’t feel threatened or not on public planes at all?
Either way this incident shouldn’t have happened.

This case shows the perils of acting without having enough knowledge of what we are messing with.

I think the security team did a good work, trying to force the people on the plane to accept the situation would probably lead to a worse situation, so they defused it.

To me, the biggest problem is mixing official actions like a deportation with common people, that's a sure way of having problems, as the common people does not know (and doesn't need to know) the reasons for the deportation but have the power to change the official action. In this case they stopped the deportation, but if they had known why he was being deported it's possible that their vigilantism would have gone completely in the opposite direction and they could have lynched the guy being deported.

It may be less expensive, but if it brings problems like this it may be better to use chartered flights or military flights.

To be fair to the people on the plane, they didn't know he was a rapist and, after the awful debacle of those Windrush people being so badly treated, who can blame them for sticking up for someone?

a reply to: lakenheath24

It was a Turkish Airlines flight.

I bet he had a big sob story about how they were gunna kill him once he got home to Somalia, they shoulda kicked their feet up and let it happen.
