Murdered man's family 'forgotten'
Mr Spence died of gunshot wounds in hospital
15 November 2005
The family of a man shot dead three [now nine] years ago claim they have been forgotten by the police.
Jason Spence, 31, from Kingstanding, was fired at from a passing car on Cardington Avenue, Great Barr, after a night out on 13 November 2002.
At the time of his death, far right groups [sic] paid tribute to the victim.
His wife Jacqui says links between her husband's murder and extremist [sic] politics are exaggerated. A police spokesman said the case is not closed.
'Jumped on band wagon'
Mrs Spence said "Jason loved his country,"
"Everyone loves the country they live in and were born in.
"It's not a crime to love England and to love the Queen and the Royal family.
"People jumped on the band wagon with the National Front and I think it got out of hand and took the focus off (the fact that) Jason was killed."
Gunshot wounds
Police added that if any new information about his death comes to light, they will follow it up.
At the time of the killing Det Ch Insp Andy Bebbington, of Thornhill Road CID, said there was no indication that Mr Spence's political affiliation had anything to do with his death.
The father-of-three had been drinking with friends in The Bell in Booth's Farm Road, Great Barr, shortly before he was attacked.
He died of gunshot wounds at Sandwell General Hospital, West Bromwich, shortly after the shooting.
[END]
Compare and contrast the man hours of police time and the public money and media coverage devoted to the investigation of the murder of family man and British nationalist, Jason Spence, with that lavished on the homicide of Stephen Lawrence. Contrast also the way in which the bereaved relatives of each man have been treated by the authorities and the media.
Could the enormous disparity be attributable to the institutional (and institutionalized) racism of the Establishment towards the English? I wonder.
