Justice Amanda Yip lifted the reporting restrictions on naming the killers of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey. They were identified at Manchester Crown Court as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe.

The horrific murder shocked the nation. Ghey was stabbed with a hunting knife 28 times in her head, neck, chest and back in broad daylight after being lured to a park in the town of Warrington on Feb. 11, 2023.

Yip handed Ratcliffe and Jenkinson a mandatory life sentence, and ordered them to serve a minimum term of 20 and 22 years, respectively, before they could be eligible for parole. If they had been adults — over the age of 18 — they would have faced much longer minimum terms. They will be transferred to adult prisons when they turn 18. Neither showed no visible reaction on being sentenced.

    TIL that 6% = 0%

    Now answer my questions. Why didn’t the Pope condemn the attack in Latin and English?

      Why would the pope comment on a murder in England that has no religious motive? Has Justin Welby condemned it? Mirza Masroor Ahmad? Yitzhak Yosef? No, because it’s completely irrelevant. Stop piggybacking on this tragedy with your weird religious agenda.

        Right Christianity has nothing whatsoever even the slightest not even a hint to do with this. Nope.

        I see. So if they were Catholic the response from the Pope would NOT be silence? No? Seems like the gotcha doesn’t work.

          If they burnt a cross into the person they killed or claimed they were doing it for religious reasons, yeah, the pope does often condemn such acts. But really it’s just another murder.

            it for religious reasons,

            Yes the venn diagram between skydaddy followers and anti-trans is two circles with no overlap. How silly of me to think that there was any link.

            yeah, the pope does often condemn such acts

            I know. The Pope never condemns people who carry out what he preaches.

            But really it’s just another murder.

            Next time a Muslim guy is in the news I can remind you of that.
