US Vice President J. D. Vance stated that the death of Henry Nowak was both tragic and outrageous. He compared it to the decline of civilization and accused “the last several generations of European elites” of yielding to “the politics of self-hatred and mass immigration.”
“Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit,” Vance wrote on X.
“His death is as tragic as it is outrageous. He should still be alive, and he would be alive if the last several generations of European elites had held their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of immigrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it,” the Vice President continued.
“Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last.,” he added.
Vance argued that the only proper response in such a case is “righteous anger.”
“One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse,” the Vice President declared.
“It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And no one—no one—should ever die the way Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may he rest in peace,” Vance wrote.
Henry Nowak was killed in December of last year. The perpetrator, a 23-year-old Sikh, stabbed the student with a ceremonial knife. He allegedly misled police by claiming that the attack had been a response to racist insults. Upon arriving at the scene, officers handcuffed the victim. Henry Nowak repeatedly stated that he had been stabbed.
“I don’t think so, mate,” one of the officers reportedly replied.
In May, a court sentenced the killer, Vicrum Digwa, to life imprisonment. He will be eligible to apply for parole after serving 21 years.
