Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Muslim stabs man during violent rampage in hospital, was “seeking attention”

Aug 25, 2018 7:35 pm By Robert Spencer

Aka is, of course, “mentally unwell.” Just another example of the global outbreak of mental illness.

“Why knifeman went on rampage at Leicester Royal Infirmary,” by Suzy Gibson, Leicestershire Live, August 25, 2018:

A thug who randomly stabbed a man with an 8 inch hunting knife during a violent rampage at Leicester Royal Infirmary was seeking attention, a court heard.

Yusuf Aka was also looking for treatment he thought he ought to be receiving when he caused chaos at the hospital’s emergency department

Although it was accepted that Aka was mentally unwell, at his sentencing today the judge said Aka’s violent psychotic episode could have been self-induced by cannabis use.

Aka, 22, of Grovebury Walk, Leicester, was on licence from a seven year detention sentence for armed robberies when the incident happened.

He was captured on CCTV, shortly after 2am on Tuesday, January 16, walking up to the hospital’s emergency department carrying the knife, before lashing out at a stranger.

The stranger and his friend fled, chased by Aka, who soon returned to the emergency department.

Wearing sunglasses and with his hood pulled up, Aka then casually walked into the department’s waiting area.

Once inside, he tossed the knife at a member of staff and threw about equipment.

Frightened patients fled or were ushered to safety by staff, as one brave nurse approached him while calling on colleagues to summon security.

Sentencing at Leicester Crown Court, Judge Philip Head said Aka told a doctor that the motivation for doing what he did at the hospital was because he wanted “attention”.

Of the man Aka stabbed, the judge said: “The victim, at that time, was homeless, and your attack upon him was entirely random and he just had the misfortune to be there.

“You wanted to get attention and, as you explained later, treatment you thought you ought to be receiving.”

Judge Head told Aka he had viewed the CCTV footage of the attack.

“You were wearing sunglasses and carrying an eight inch knife with a partially double-sided blade,” he said.

“One of the two men saw it in time and got out of the way, and as his friend walked past you grabbed him and stabbed him in the back, high up between his shoulder blades.

“It can be seen to be a forceful blow.”

The victim suffered a fractured vertebra.

Judge Head said: “They ran off and quite clearly you chased after them.

“The inescapable inference is you wanted to effect further damage to your victim.”

James Thomas, prosecuting, told the court: “The defendant [then] walked into the reception and communal area of the Accident and Emergency Department, with patients waiting to be treated.

“He threw the knife towards a member of staff, which missed and struck a wall with such force the blade broke.”

He set about the computer terminals, ripping monitors from the desk and throwing them across the waiting area at members of the public and staff, who were trying to usher patients away.

“A man in a wheelchair who was being wheeled to safety was struck with a monitor, but fortunately wasn’t injured but was left very distressed.”

Security staff were called, and when they arrived Aka attacked them.

He punched the first security officer, who was left dazed. When another security officer came to his colleague’s aid, Aka was wrestled to the floor and detained until the police arrived.

The court was told that the man who was stabbed said later in a statement: “I thought he was going to kill me.”

He said he ran for his life, and he knew he needed urgent medical help but was scared because he knew the knifeman was in the A & E department.

The court heard that Aka had a history of mental health problems and had previously asked for help, and at other times had said he did not want to continue taking medication….

    No more Britain. I was reading the comments on the link. They accept it’s a case of Schizophrenia.
    What is it about Islam that it generates so many cases of some type of mental illness everywhere?

        Right mccode..they are following a man who was as nuts as one can be. his name was muhammad…how many are named people are muhammad, showing how this nut was and is revered.

        Right you are mccode….following a nut named muhammad…and to prove how much Muslims revere him not only are they doing what muhammad did they named their children after him or they take muhammad as a new name.

      The authorities keep telling us that when Muslims attack us, they suffer from mental illness. However, as you have mentioned, why do so MANY MUSLIMS SUFFER MENTAL ILLNESS? Furthermore, people of all beliefs and ethnicities suffer mental illness but they do not, by and large, blow up or go on a killing rampage. Hmmmm.

    • George Jarrold says

      Inbreeding and Islam.

    UK: Muslim stabs man during violent rampage in hospital, was “seeking attention”
    …………………..

    I had a niece who went through a period of seeking attention when she was about twelve. It tended to involve wanting extravagant praise for good grades and other achievements, no matter how small, as well as a respectful audience for all of her opinions. Sometimes our patience wore a bit thin–but she was a good girl and we all figured it was a phase, which indeed proved to be the case.

    I must have missed the part where she went on a violent stabbing rampage at a hospital…sarc/off

    Also, Yusuf Aka is a *twenty-two year old man*–not a temporarily insecure kid entering middle school and finding it all a bit overwhelming.

    The excuses made for Jihadist Muslims is just grotesque.

      Aug 26, 2018 at 11:42 am

      they have been told that they are the best of all people (3:110) and therefore they expect immediate attention.

      and if the slaves (muslims) don’t get attention immediately they find a way to get it … it’s cultural afterall.

      For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    Couldn’t one of those men (or women, FFS) grab a fire extinguisher and fight back?!?! Or would that be “islamophobic”? Pot induced psychosis my a$$!

  5. Gary says

    Aug 25, 2018 at 10:14 pm

    Yeah, he was seeking attention because his god, (Lower case intentionally used), wasn’t showing him any love. In fact, his god,(Satan), wants nothing more than to drag him and all of creation into the Lake of Fire – FOREVER!

    allah…. a god worth avoiding!

    The old bugaboo, mental illness in a violent, murderous moslim.

    If this happened in any other group…”mental illness” that made the sufferers carry out murder and rape and such violence as is reported that this scum did…that group’s members would be investigated and whatever laws could be applied before the violence and murder would be applied.

    With moslims, the story is “mental illness” because mental illness is a sad thing and the sufferers deserve sympathy and help. moslims don’t want to be prosecuted for their criminal, terrorist, actions.

    This guy knew what he was doing was wrong, hence the sunglasses and pulling his hood up in order to disguise himself. He deserves attention…lock him up, throw away the key and watch him daily, for the rest of his existence.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Aug 26, 2018 at 2:50 am

      Well said, somehistory. Surveillance 24/7, behind bars, is precisely the sort of attention required in this case.

    • Roger woodhouse says

      Aug 26, 2018 at 5:17 am

      Better still .Lock him away for tem years then deport.Hes foreign born no doubt.Take away his citizenship if he gained citizenship.Nothing will be done though.Just another custodial sentence to be released again within a few years after ‘treatment”at her majesty’s pleasure and tax payers expence.We are facing a future of untold misery and violence thanks to the stupidity and naivety of our liberal left government/s of the past thirty years.The British people have been sold out but they are to blame for electing these useless cretins

      • Anne Smith says

        Aug 26, 2018 at 7:02 am

        Why lock him up at our expense?

        Deport him immediately and let his co-religionists deal with him.

  7. Guy Forester says

    Aug 26, 2018 at 12:54 am

    Don’t worry. The powers that be will find some kind of lame brain reason to let him go after a very short stay in jail and/or hospital. Then it is back to his usual raves and rants.

    By the way, unless they ran toxicology on him, that “weed” could have been PCP, Meth, or Coke, or adulterated with one of those. That stuff can certainly induce psychosis.

      As of 2011, Leicester was almost 19% Muslim, up from 11% ten years before. I’m sure it’s even worse now.

    “….Aka, 22, of Grovebury Walk, Leicester, was on licence from a seven year detention sentence for armed robberies….”
    —————————————————————————————————–

    So this charmer wasn’t just doing time – (supposedly 7 years) – for ONE armed robbery, but for having carried out a SERIES of armed robberies – why was he out on licence at all ? and how many years had he done in prison before they let him out ?

    What he suffers from isn’t a cannabis-induced psychosis, but the familiar “islam-induced arrogance” that leads the worst, stupidest, and most violent creatures among us to spend their lives swaggering about the world in the belief of thugs everywhere that: “I’m better than you are – because I’m worse than you are…”

    As its not mentioned in the article: He got 5 years for wounding with intent and affray. Thats all.
    I would have gone for attempted murder as he stabbed the homeless man and then chased him. To me his intention was murder and he failed so it should have been that charge.

    If he was found guilty we could have a life sentence on him as he will be a danger until he is wheelchair bound.

    Recent occurrence in Toronto. A man was stabbed from behind while waiting in line at a Service Canada kiosk to update documents. Very little about this story on the net. The victim’s daughter says the attacker said something like, “It is done.” Little-to-no coverage on the net. The suspect was apprehended…but no other details.

    https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1471396

    Wonder if we’ll hear more about it. Mental illness, no doubt.

    …..Two to the chest, one to the head. And keep shooting until the threat is extinguished.

    I Thank God Amighty for my Right to Keep and Bear Arms. If that happened here in Montana, that jihadi would become leaded wolf chum.

    Aug 26, 2018 at 2:19 pm

    This all boils down to the fact that….

    ALLAH IS MENTALLY ILL!!!

    Since he’s their DADDY, that explains EVERYTHING!

    These fools! Either they can’t locate the hidden motive, or it is written off as mental illness.
    The root of the problem is the evil of islam when applied to mankind.
    Like that comment above, it is like rabies on a human.

    We need to unite and organize to defend ourselves against this existential threat to our God and our civilization.

    Both (the Judeo-Christian faith and Western Civilization) are worth defending.

    Otherwise a new Dark Age will be upon us.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 26, 2018 at 7:39 pm

      Yes–we need to not just oppose Islam, but stand up for our own civilized societies.
