One Year For Killing A Young Father…

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

A Copenhagen court has handed a one-year sentence to the African-born repeat offender who punched Swedish police officer and father of two Christian Zedig to death at a World Cup fan zone this past Summer.

The killer pleaded guilty and he will not appeal. The sentence is so lenient because under Danish law, killing a man who stepped in to ‘stop a fight’ is classed only as ordinary assault.

Nkumba Ludovic Tshiembe, 31, stood on a bench at Islands Brygge on 30 June, hurled beer cans at Scandinavian supporters, then drove a punch into Zedig’s neck, rupturing an artery. The 32-year-old police officer from Eksjö died in hospital on 3 July, leaving a wife and two daughters. On Wednesday the Copenhagen City Court ruled one year in prison and a one-year nightlife ban was sufficient punishment.

Remember the African who murdered an innocent Swedish soccer fan in Copenhagen this summer? He has just been sentenced to just 1 year in prison for this crime.

The perpetrator has previously been sentenced for:
• Multiple rapes
• A series of violence against his girlfriend
• Attempted murder (stabbing a knife in a mans chest)
• Violent assault earlier this year.

And he will soon be out again, and terrorize us further. Our Scandinavian system is helpless against such people. We must react to the threat and increase punishments, and stop the immigration of hyper-violent Africans.

The charge was simple violence. Danish prosecutors treat a fist strike as “typically not dangerous,” and the absence of a proven intent to kill kept the case off the murder statute even after the victim died.

Special prosecutor Søren Harbo told the court there were no mitigating circumstances, that Zedig “neither started nor involved himself in a conflict,” and that it was the defendant who “behaved aggressively.”

The bench agreed, citing the aggressive and conflict-escalating conduct, the prior record for serious person-endangering crime, and the death itself. Defense lawyer Thomas Brædder had asked for no more than ten months. The court went to twelve. Harbo had asked for at least that. According to Danish law, that is the maximum possible sentence for this charge.

Tshiembe, a Danish citizen who arrived from an African country as an infant, has a prior rap sheet. He was convicted in 2014 of rape and gross violence. In 2017 a court gave him seven years for attempted murder after he stabbed a man in the heart at a Copenhagen disco.

Yes, really, he is a convicted rapist who also stabbed someone in the heart, but apparently that’s not enough to sentence him to longer than a year for actually killing a father of two, or to remove him from the country.

This is the family of the man that the African immigrant killed. He would still be with his family if it wasn’t for our insane, self-destructive policy of mass immigration. https://t.co/J4hoiWvZbi

Expressen reported that earlier court papers described him as “without empathy,” and that preventive detention was never used.

Asked how he felt, Tshiembe told the prosecutor: “I feel terrible,” and said he was thinking of the Swede’s family. He also said beer had been splashed, that he became irritated, and that Zedig had given him no reason to be hit. In the Expressen account of the hearing he said “I don’t know why I hit” and “I just hit.” He declined a final word before the court retired.

Zedig’s wife, Emelie, was the last to speak. She and Christian met in high school, had known each other 17 years and been together nine. “My husband was our security,” she said. “Everything we had built a life around, that there would be two of us to raise our girls – now it is so clear that I am alone with all of it. It has destroyed everything.”

SVT quoted her separately: “Grief shapes our everyday life.”

The family’s counsel, Jakob Buch-Jepsen, is seeking about 1.9 million Danish kroner, roughly $285,000, for her and the two girls. The court ducked the claim and sent it to a committee.

What we should do is to give only probationary citizenships to foreigners. If they are convicted of a violent crime, their citizenship is revoked, and they are deported.

Then Christian Zedig would have still been alive and with his family.

Zedig was off duty in a Swedish national shirt, watching Norway against Ivory Coast on the big screen, when Ivory Coast supporters taunted the Scandinavian tables, threw beer, and rushed them after Erling Haaland’s late winner. He stepped in. He was punched, went down, and was kicked and stomped.

Emelie’s Facebook post in the days after the killing said their children’s lives “were turned upside down. Your life ended. Because some other person made that decision.” The girls would grow up without “the world’s best dad.” She would have to raise them without “the world’s best husband.” His sister wrote: “My beautiful and thoroughly good-hearted brother. How will we make it without you with us? Who gave them the right to take you away from us. The grief is never-ending.”

Sweden Democrats MEP Charlie Weimers forced the European Parliament to hold a debate on the repeated savage violence committed against Europeans by migrants. Social Democrats from his own country voted against even having it.

“In recent days, Europe has once again been reminded of the very real threats to public security on our streets,” Weimers told the chamber. “These are not isolated incidents, they are part of a broader pattern that is undermining the safety of ordinary Europeans.” He had already called the killing “not a tragic accident” but “the direct consequence of the mass immigration and failed integration that the establishment in Sweden and the EU has forced upon us for decades.”

Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen wrote on 6 July that “a deep sadness and great anger have filled me in recent days,” and later told a press conference the expected sentence was shocking. “It was shocking for many of us to see what sentence he risks getting. It only makes it worse.”

Her government has since said it wants longer terms for deadly violence by offenders already convicted of violent crime.

@jonatanpallesen 1 year for murder is so crazy. It’s almost surreal.

@jonatanpallesen A justice system created for a developed and high trust culture will fail when it has to deal with those from chaotically disordered low trust cultures.
This is a case of bad culture (African) driving out good culture (Danish).

Rightful punishment and an end to the mass immigration agenda that perpetuates these atrocities is the only way forward.
