Summary
Zaheer Mahmood, 29, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempting to murder two people with a meat cleaver outside Charlie Hebdo’s former Paris office in 2020.
Influenced by radical Pakistani preacher Khadim Hussain Rizvi, Mahmood attacked two Premieres Lignes employees, mistaking the office for Charlie Hebdo’s, which had relocated after the 2015 al-Qaeda attack.
Five accomplices were jailed for supporting Mahmood. The victims, who suffered severe injuries, rejected Mahmood’s apology.
Mahmood, an illegal immigrant to France since 2017, was also convicted of terrorist conspiracy.
So you’re cool with imprisoning potentially innocent people for life, but giving them the death penalty is too much?
Yeah, but what about those who die in prison before they’re proven innocent? What about those that spend decades in prison and have basically nothing to live for when they get out? What about those who lose realistically any of their time due to an innocent conviction?
All of those are acceptable to do to innocent people in your eyes?
Lol, funny how you’re all of a sudden putting faith in the verdict when the death penalty isn’t on the line.
