Trio Jailed for Kriss Donald Race Murder

Three men have been jailed for life after they were found guilty of the racially-motivated murder of white Glasgow teenager Kriss Donald.

Faisal Mushtaq, 27, Zeeshan Shahid, 28, and his brother Imran Shahid, 29, had denied murdering Kriss, 15, in 2004.

Kriss’s mother Angela—quiet during the trial—shouted: “You bastards,” as the jury delivered its verdict.

Imran Shahid must serve a minimum of 25 years, Zeeshan Shahid, 23 years minimum and Mushtaq, at least 22 years.

Outside the court, Ms Donald, 42, thanked police, the prosecution and witnesses.

She said: “Justice has been done, thank you—it is over.”

The six week trial had heard that her son had shouted: “I’m only 15, what have I done?” as he was dragged from the street and into a car.

The gang took him on a 200-mile journey to Dundee and back while they made phone calls looking for a house to take him to.

Having no success, they returned to Glasgow and took him to the quiet Clyde Walkway, near Celtic FC’s training ground.

There, they held his arms and stabbed him 13 times before dousing him with petrol and setting him alight while he may
still have been alive.

The jury of nine women and six men took about eight-and-a-half hours to reach its verdict.

Imran Shahid was found guilty by a unanimous verdict and the other two guilty by majority verdicts.

Sentencing, Lord Uist described Imran Shahid as “a thug and bully with a sadistic nature not fit to be free in civilised society”.

He said Imran Shahid, known as Baldy, was the leader of the expedition.

“It was pre-meditated cold blooded execution, it truly was an abomination,” Lord Uist added.

“The savage and barbaric nature of this crime has rightly shocked the public.

“Racially aggravated violence from whatever quarter will not be tolerated in Scotland.”

‘Horrendous crime’

Eyewitness accounts of the abduction, statements said to have been made by the accused, mobile phone records and forensic evidence against one of the men helped secure the convictions.

Kriss was stabbed 13 times and burns covered 70% of his body.

His death triggered an investigation that lasted more than two years and took detectives around Scotland and to Pakistan.

Asst Ch Const John Malcolm, of Strathclyde Police said: “As a force we would like to extend our personal thanks to Kriss’s family for their co-operation, support and their understanding as the true nature of this horrendous crime unfolded.

“It is also important to acknowledge the support of the broader community.

“Everyone came together to support and inform our investigation, and through these actions, the community made it very clear that this sort of violence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in any community.”

Kriss was abducted near his home in a random act of racially motivated revenge by the gang on 15 March, 2004.

The Shahid brothers and Mushtaq had fled to Pakistan after murdering him.

It was more than a year before they agreed to return and stand trial, after warrants were issued for their arrest.

I read an article yesterday in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about parents of public school students in Seattle and Louisville. They have filed lawsuits because race is being used as a factor in determining which schools their children may attend and which ones they may not attend. In fact, race seems to be the sole criteria in making these determinations.


Anyway, the parents seem to think school officials of these districts have adopted rules and regulations which are unconstitutional, and so the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear their appeals. Well that's mighty nice of the Supreme Court. Had it not agreed, it would in effect be ruling against the parents by default simply by allowing the decision of the lower court to prevail.

Three years ago the Supreme Court (after having agreed to hear the case) said race could be considered in determining admissions to the University of Michigan's law school. Why? Because "higher education had a compelling need to consider a student's race if it was to maintain diversity in classes." There it is again -- that cursed "d" word!

What does diversity have to do with a classroom, especially when it's insistence causes an applicant with a higher score on the admission test to be rejected in favor of an applicant with a lower score who is of a different race? Well, the truth is diversity has absolutely nothing to do with a classroom. It has everything to do with a society -- specifically, its decline and destruction.

Considering the globalists' obsessive concern for diversity in a school's classroom rather than the caliber of its students, I'm not surprised that more than a few countries have surpassed the United States in successfully educating their youth in many academic areas, not excluding science and mathematics. If diversity is on their list of priorities, it is near or at the bottom. More power to them!

In Louisville Crystal Meredith, a white parent, is thoroughly disgusted with the city's "voluntary" school integration plan which was imposed five years ago. The integration is voluntary in name only. In reality, it is forced integration. As in many cities, children must attend a school where they are needed to lighten or darken the multicultural melting pot.

Crystal Meredith's son was blocked from attending his neighborhood elementary school. Why? Because it had "too many white students".

In Saint Louis the public school situation is even more ludicrous, but equally tragic. The district has more that two dozen well equipped facilities called "magnet" schools, intended to attract students who want to learn. But few white students have applied to these schools. And because of a "compelling need" to maintain racial quotas, some of the city's most desirable schools are operating below capacity with many empty seats.

Meanwhile 3,500 black students are on a magnet school waiting list.

Guidelines For Illustrators

Avoid stereotypes such as females as peripheral/helpers to active/leading males, or senior citizens as infirm, with canes, doddering.

Elderly people should be shown as active members of society; unless relevant to text, they should not be shown in wheelchairs.

Show mothers involved in outside employment (not in aprons in kitchens).

Show African-Americans in positions of power, not just in service industries.

Show African-Americans and other people of colour with a range of skin tones. Hair texture should vary from straight to curly.

Do not stereotype Asian people with glasses, bowl-shaped haircuts, or as intellectuals.

Never use slanted lines to illustrate Asian eyes.

No large groups of people without an appropriate ethnic mix and male/female ratio.

No “help the disabled” pictures—show disabled people doing for themselves and others.

Show many types of family grouping. Take care not to imply that one-parent homes are broken.

A populist right-wing political party has topped an opinion poll in Norway a month after Muslims angered by cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad burnt Norwegian flags and embassies in the Middle East.

The Progress party, which wants tighter immigration laws and blames immigrants for much of the nation's crime, has condemned Muslim extremists and urged Norway's Labour-led government to stand up more strongly for freedom of speech.

The survey in the Bergens Tidende newspaper showed support for Progress rising to 31.8 per cent, above Labour on 28.7. Progress came second in the last parliamentary election in September, with 22.1 per cent to Labour's 32.7 per cent.

"There is a long time until the election, therefore we have to take this with a pinch of salt," Progress' Siv Jensen told the newspaper. She will take over as leader before the next election in 2009.

So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention.

-– Bryant Gumbel

Last fall, the Air Force Academy's football coach Fisher DeBerry, who is white, was thoroughly castigated for alleged racial insensitivity because he said "black players tend to be faster than white players".

But newscaster Gumbel, who is black, and his sarcastic evaluation of the Winter Games and its champions has evinced little outcry.

Why the difference?

Could it be there is one standard of "political correctness" for white people and another one for black people? Curious, isn't it? Curious and revolting!

Several days ago I heard a caller to a local talk radio station say "Louis Farrakhan hates white people". And while that may be true, I don't believe it is.

No, I believe Louis Farrakhan loves his race, just as I love my race. And because he loves his race he's concerned first and foremost about the safety and well-being of black people, just as I'm concerned first and foremost about the safety and well-being of white people. Hatred has nothing to do with it.

I know there are many people who do not love their race. And that's certainly their prerogative. But I would tell these people that there's no valid reason why you should not love your race, whatever your race may be. And if anyone tries to tell you there is, you can be sure that person is promoting an agenda which ultimately will benefit neither you nor your race, nor anyone else's race as well.
