So so sorry for all those poor little lives thst have been lost.
You take your little ones to a concert so they can enjoy themselves.
And these f***ing no mark two bob w***ers do this....to f***ing children.
The security services have done a great job foiling a few attacks recently,and lots of people on the "known list"
But what does that "list" actually achieve,f*** all really,they should tag all of them that are known to have terrorist links.
Keep a electronic tab on all of them.

Will have to dig out the figure from another thread so I apologise for not having it but I seem to recall when the Westminster attack happened that it would need 150 officers round the clock to keep tabs on one terror suspect on their list.
This is obviously out the question.

Understand where you are coming from with an electronic tag but how on earth could it be properly policed. They would essentially have to be under permanent house arrest otherwise every time they went out even to the local supermarket they could in theory commit an act of terrorism. Ok it would restrict any foreign travel but in theory it wouldn't work. Immediately their human rights would be compromised . No I am not banging the human rights drum as much of it is used by people who wish to exploit it for their own ends. Just pointing out in practise it would be very difficult to implement. X

Ìt would be hard agreed,but I'm sure doable....Use the yanks satellites..they monitor the f*** out of people...

Yep I get that. In practice it would never be allowed but I get where your coming from. Lots of them probably are monitored without them being aware otherwise all these other attacks wouldn't be stopped.

Ok so moving on to the next level. Once conversations are picked up or emails uncovered that they are either off shopping for bomb making equipment or knives to go on a killing spree then what. What do we do with the synpathiser element who identify with terrorists but aren't at the stage of actively planning. What do we do with them. Would involve court processes and building prisons to house them. Can you imprison people for their own thoughts behind closed doors to their friends. Half the world would be banged up if we could. How do we keep these people once imprisoned from communicating and chatting with one another inside. Lots of pockets of radical element of Islam in our prisons. The Westminster guy was allegedly radicalized whilst inside. How long do we keep them there. Forever? What happens when they are released.

Not a dig or anything as I have already said I most certainly don't have the answer to this. Just trying to think further down the road with each scenario

Have to start looking at the mental health perspective of this. Takes a certain kind of mindset to want people dead and actually act on it and kill yourself in the process. Murder/ suicide. Most people haven't got the bottle for strapping explosives to themselves or detonating a rucksack on their lap. And the stock response they believe they will go to paradise surrounded by virgins well I wouldn't have the arsehole to blow myself up or commit a crime where I knew I would he shot and killed.

That's the bit that you need faith for. Faith can overcome the rational and sensible aspect of the mind, because it peddles the idea of an absolute truth. Its also why most suicide bombers are young men. Typically at their most idealistic.

Desperation and faith, can make otherwise normal people sane. The mentally ill, as a side note, are more at threat from themselves and society, than they are to society.
