Birmingham amateur boxer killed in riots

[Tunney]

A Birmingham amateur boxer has been killed in the UK riots.

A vehicle rammed into a group of men who were defending their property, killing three.

from the Daily Telegraph:

Keen amateur boxer Haroon Jahan, 21, and two brothers were hit by a speeding car in Birmingham in the early hours of this morning,

Officers have arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with the deaths and a car has also been recovered.

Tariq Jahan, the father of Haroon, told how he desperately tried to revive his son as he waited for medics to arrive.

“I didn't see it (the fatal incident) with my own eyes. I was round the corner... I heard the car coming at high speed.

“Then we heard the bang and I heard the commotion with the people. I ran towards the commotion and the first guy I found was someone I didn't know.

Apparently a few black kids tried to raid their family's shop but they fought them off and kicked the crap out of the rioters. A while later the Asians were guarding the shop when a car smashed into the crowd at 50mph killing 3 of them. It was a revenge attack because they beat up the rioters earlier.

RIP Haroon Jahan.

I was watching Sangar TV last night on Sky as they patrolled the streets live. They interviewed a load of Sikhs protecting their community. All stood there together as one unit at each end of the street. They were obviously not looking for trouble as some were in their 70's but were just being vigilant to protect their homes and property by any legal means. I was impressed with their togetherness and attitude.

RIP Haroon Jahan.

Rest in peace, young man and your friends.

Just trying to do the right thing...now the right thing must be done with regards to all the criminals involved.

RIP to Haroon and his friends who died in this tragedy .
I thought his dad spoke with great dignity and sense especially considering he'd lost his son that day,i wouldnt of been able to even speak if such a tragedy had happened to me, i think he made everyone stop and think about what is important.

The problem with living in the UK is that there's too many lefty's running the country (those middle class twerps that feel sorry for the criminals). I feel sorry for the police, What ever they do, they get blamed (for being too hard or too soft). I think they should make a law and ban those hoodie tops. Anyone walking around with them on, or a mask, should be stopped and searched by The Old Bill. My mum was on her own and she brought me and my brother up, we didn't go around smashing bus stops up and hurting/mugging people. The reason I say this, is when they (the rioters) get caught, that's the first thing the scum bags are going to say, " I never had a dad" or "I come from a broken home" BS :x

These chavs think the world owes them a living, and all this LA gang sub-culture crap. You're English not American.


They should get those two blokes that robbed that kid's bag while pretending to help him. Then name and shame them in the papers. With all the CCTV we have in this country we should be able too track them down, and send the scum to prison.

his fathers speech was one of the most moving things ive seen in recent times. the mans a hero. the way he dissolved potential greif after his press conference was brilliant. he deserves a medal for speaking with such dignity and acting with such composure.

rip im sorry for your loss sir.

The other two lads who died where brothers of some fella who gave an interview. Really saddening hearing him say that he was trying to resuscitate one brother and could see his other brother dying yards away, but he couldn't help him because he couldn't leave the sibling he was with. Horrible.
