Ian Rice, whose son was killed along with another two teenage boys after the man crashed into them, slammed the police for failing to bring justice to the victims and their families. The perpetrator was given 13 years for dangerous driving.
Jaynesh Chudasama, 28, of Hayes in west London, smashed into the teen group - comprising of Harry Rice, a semi-professional footballer, George Wilkinson, 16, an apprentice electrician, and Josh McGuinness, 16, a laborer - as they headed to a party on 26 January.
He was found to have been two and a half times over the drink-driving limit when he ran over the teenagers on a road in west London.
But Rice claims Chudasama intended to hit the teenagers and that police were trying to "suppress" the case and "keep it out of the public eye" due to the driver's background as a Muslim of Pakistani origin.
"Police have lied from the minute this crash happened. And then it's one lie after the other. We have made a complaint against the police, and we will sue them," Ian told RT.
"If it isn't terror related it was definitely a deliberate act, everything points to it...Why are the police being so corrupt and suppressive?
"They try to put a smoke screen around it and say 'all we can say is it might have been the drink'."
But he argued the driver ran 200 meters after the crash and would not have been able to do so had he been "paralytically" drunk.
He pointed out that the incident had been classed as a road traffic accident, despite the crash report from the police stating the driver had "control" of the vehicle.
"They have shown no respect to our children, no respect to us. Why? Why do we have to fight the police when they should be our friends looking after us?
"We are the victims, we are not the criminals," Ian said while attending the Day of Freedom protest in London on Sunday. The protest was organized by a spectrum of activists and political figures - from those on far-right to free speech advocates.
Chudasama was jailed at the Old Bailey after pleading guilty to three counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
Rice's family is now appealing to the attorney general to refer the case to the Appeals Court.
"What we would like would be for the Appeal Court to quash the sentence, send him back for retrial on three counts of murder and two attempted murders. That is the right charge for the driver and the passenger."
The ACLU was founded, in part, about cases where the state would drop the ball, the defendant would walk, and be arrested, YET AGAIN, by the feds for the same crime. The ACLU fought it and it was a founding position that concurrent or consecutive federal and state prosecutions for the same alleged event were clearly! a violation of double jeopardy.
BUT... then, Rodney King received the stereotypical LAPD Beatdown. Fortunately for him (not so much for Honkies driving through Watts) it was videotaped. The prosecution, as I recall, had some power of choice on where the cops faced state charges, and they moved the case to where it was full of white AmeriKan Idiot Honkies. They (wrongfully) acquitted the cops, DESPITE the video proof@!!!!)
L.A. race riots blew up! (The only folks who managed to 'keep their own' were the mostly Korean families who, per libtards, 'made their living by ripping off' the ghetto dwellers', (whilst risking their lives on every shift.)
Well THEY banded together, broke out whatever firearms they had (as per what was THEN allowed in California. Most critically: Shotguns! (Duh.) Looking down the business end of one will freeze all but the most stupid. (E.g., a 12 gauge with 00 ("double ought') buckshot) fires 12? or 8 projectiles, each the approximate ballistic equivalent of a single round from James Bond's Walther (PPK?)in .32 cal. (I'm hoping it wasn't a 25 auto - that cartridge is so weak that anyone would choose it, if they had to get shot. (Even weaker than a 22; and when a gun is pointed at you, it's ALWAYS scary, no matter if it's a 22 or a 50 cal. BMG.)
And when whole blocks were burning, and the cops and fire departments were treating it as a no-go-zone, (a la Sweden) those few armed Koreans almost certainly saved many lives, and also millions of dollars worth of property that they would not allow to be looted - not only their own. (And we wonder why Korea was USA a stalemate, and Vietnam was a USA loss- although official recogniton of that truth, (post Nixon's 'Peace with Honor' BS,) probably really didn't occur until Carter was elected in 1976,.
But what does this have to do with that? Well, the Feds decided, from purely political factors, to reprosecute the LAPD's (Obvious) crimes, as 'federal deprivation of civil rights' which was based on the same set of facts behind the state trial which the prosecution (perhaps on purpose) blew the job, so the cops walked at first.
SO, then the Feds said, "We're going to prosecute!" (based upon the same precedent that the ACLU had always (correctly) argued was patently unconstitutional, although the US Sup. Ct. had long since (and still does) give its blessings to these brutally unfair tactics.
BUT, this time, due to the public awareness, due to 'political correctness', due to the ACLU's not wishing to lose Black and self-seen-as-liberal Type donors, they, -the ACLU - "temporarily retracted for reconsideration' their policy against Double Jeopardy prosecutions.
At that time I was a member, and wrote them asking HOW could they POSSIBLY justify abandoning one of their founding principles. They mailed me a letter somehow 'rationaLIESing away their abandonment of their fundamental principles "for review my ass"; plus they mailed me a copy of some sort of apologia in a law review article, which, intellectually, was a painfully obvious joke.
You know or can guess the rest. The cops were convicted (jeopardy) the second time ('double) around. The ACLU's 'study group' THEN ruled that their long term policy should be reinstated, (now that the scumbag cops had been illegally convicted after prior acquittals.) The ACLU managed to save its close minded black donors and libtards, but lost at least one soul in Florida who had once thought that at least THEY stood on their principles and integrity.
Live and learn.
