Even When They Target Celebrities...

...the State refuses to get rid:

An Algerian teenager who threatened to decapitate TV host Aled Jones and tried to steal Bridgerton actress Genevieve Chenneour's mobile phone has admitted to machete robberies. 

Zacariah Boulares was 16 when he ambushed Songs Of Praise star Jones in Chiswick High Road, west London, in 2023 - threatening to cut off his head after snatching his £17,000 Daytona Rolex watch.

And it was only the first of his crimes in this country. 

He is serving a 22-month prison sentence for an incident in February last year when he tried to steal Chenneour's mobile phone at a branch of Joe & The Juice on Kensington High Street.

He robbed Mark Turner in Kensington Square Gardens, west London, on August 9 2023. He struck again ten days later in a failed bid to steal a Rolex watch from Neil Tallantire outside Waitrose in Porchester Road, Bayswater, west London.

But every reign of crime comes to an end temporary halt in modern Britain:

On Friday at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Alexander Milne KC adjourned the cases for a psychological assessment of Boulares and a probation report on 'dangerousness' to be finalised for the sentencing hearing.

What does he think that will tell him that he hasn’t already heard in open court? Can’t he make a judgement? Isn’t that what we pay him for? 

Judge Martin Edmunds KC, the Recorder of Kensington and Chelsea, told a sentencing hearing how Boulares had targeted wealthy areas for 'rich pickings'. The judge described the defendant's approach as a 'systematic pattern of stealing from people as they are enjoying a meal or refreshment at a restaurant'. Mr Edmunds told Boulares: 'You seem to be plagued by an attitude that if people can afford nice things, then you can take them. 

'It's clear you are completely willing to use violence when challenged, and it's a matter of the deepest regret that individuals have been left feeling they don't want to come to London or they should leave London.'

Those ‘individuals’ feel that way because people like Boulares feel entitled to come to London, are in fact welcomed in by the same idiot celebs who fall prey to them! 

The court heard Boulares has already accumulated 12 convictions for 28 offences, including violence, threatening behaviour, weapon possession and theft.

Of course, without spending a day longer in jail that it took to process him.

The attack on Jones happened when Boulares was too young to be publicly identified.

A clear menace to the public, but the public can’t know to look out for danger, because his rights are more important that public safety. 

Boulares was sentenced to a 24-month youth detention and training order.

And it was effective as it always is, which is to say not at all, except to keep sociology graduates in jobs.
