Thomas Mair, the evil killer of Joe Cox, used a library in Leeds to look up the effects of a 22mm gun weapon.
The ku Klux Klan, and former foreign Secretary, William Hague, his murder trial in London heard.
The radicalized and crazy killer was said by prosecutors at the Joe Cox Trial to have been ‘brutally murdered’ by the “cowardly” defendant, after first repeatedly shouting out “Britain First” during the attack.
The gun used was a 22 rifle gun weapon,which had been adapted the court in London heard.Thomas and Mair also used a dagger-like knife in the attack.
Joe Cox’s trial in London was attended by the late Mp’s family which included her parents and her sibling’s court heard that as the mother-of-two lay dying, her manager “tended to her and pleaded with her to think of her children in a desperate bid to stimulate her so she would stay alive.” However, her life had been brutally and forcefully taken from her, in one of the most evil and brutal daylight murders of a political figure, the U.K has ever seen. This was a political execution by deranged Thomas Mair,too painful to fully contemplate.
Thomas Mair also looked up information about a 22 gun ammunition, asking the question in google ”is a 22 gun rifle deadly enough to kill with one shot”? Mair also looked up information about former Secretary William Hague, the Yorkshire based Remain supporter, William Hague. Joe Cox killer also accessed the Wikipidia page of the far right publication, accidental observer, which run articles on politics and society from a national and anti-semetic perspective.
Joe Cox Was Promising MP
Joe Cox was a bright, promising, and ambitious politician, who was well loved in her community and had been in Parliament for only a year. Joe cox was a forward thinker with a persuasive personality, spending a lot of her times helping refugees settle in properly in Britain by giving them all the support she could. Her efforts were unappreciated by Thomas Mair and many others because she was a staunch remain supporter. Joe Cox campaigned tirelessly for Britain to remain in the EU, but had her life cruelly cut short despite not achieving the course she fought for.
Britain voted to leave the EU by a ratio of 52% to 48% onJune 23, 2016 in one of the most participated and divisive votes ever to take place in the U.K
Joe Cox’s opposite views to Brexit was her democratic society, and should not have cost her life. Opposing views should not in a civil society affect the value we place on people’s lives, or the appreciation w e have for their contribution to society even when they hold ideologies fundamentally different to ours. Joe Cox’s murder took place while Mrs Cox was performing her role as an MP in Birstall.
Opening the trial this afternoon, Mr Whittam said: “Thomas Mair’s intention was to kill her in what was a planned and pre-meditated murder for a political and/or ideological cause.” Every effort was made to save Mrs Cox’s life and an emergency thoracotomy, where an incision is made into the chest wall, was performed as she lay in the street, the court heard.
The jury was told that Bernard Carter Kenny, a 77-year-old local man, risked his life in an effort to save that of Mrs Cox and was stabbed once by the defendant with the same knife he had used to stab the mother-of-two.
Joe Cox Murdered Close To Referendum Vote
Thomas Mair’s murder of Joe Cox occurred a few days before the u.k referendum in which British voters would vote on whether the U.K should stay or leave Britain. Mair had affiliations with right-wing group ”Britan First”, though the extent of his affiliations has never been established. Representatives of Britain First distanced themselves from Thomas Mair, saying in the statement that they would not condone actions like murder. They also said Thomas Mair was not a member of Britains First, but before long, a picture of Thomas Mair holding a Britain Forst banner was released to the public, questioning the honesty of the group’s official position. The possibility remains that Thomas Mair may have supported the group for brief periods, but he certainly shared their ideals.
Thomas Mair’s killing of Joe Coc was evil and needless, more especially now that the vote for Britain to leave the EU was eventually won. People like Thomas Mair are a liability and cancer to society, it would have been better he were never born.
