Henry didn’t just lose his life.
He lost his dignity.
In the UK, the state has a legal duty to protect the right to life and to treat people with basic human dignity – especially when they’re in police hands.
His family said he “did not die with dignity.”
They’re right.
The right to life isn’t just “don’t kill people.”
It’s a duty to protect people from violence and to treat them like human beings in their last moments, not suspects in handcuffs.
Henry’s killer is in prison.
But the system that let a dying teenager be cuffed and humiliated in front of the man who murdered him still hasn’t answered for the dignity it stole.
Mosques are popping up like a fungus in every city in the U.S. Yet so many Americans are asking why are they stopping traffic to “pray” in the streets. It’s not about prayer, folks. It’s a declaration of war. The invaders are declaring their ownership.
