Will Met Police boss be taking the fall for this?
At some point the blame is going to be laid on equality and ticking off the right requirements in criteria for eligibility.

The big G.


Why didn't the terror threat level go back up when that general was killed before Christmas?
Who decides on that anyway?

You've let another slip through and either way, somebody is at fault.
Is this the level of incompetence of the future?

I don't know anything,me.

Take the fall for what? Blowing him to his 72 virgins within seconds following 24 hour surveillance and preventing what could have been multiple fatalities? Rihtly or wrongly it is the law that allows such people to be released, the Police dealt highly effectively with the outcome. Give them a break!

Police did a decent job; he failed to achieve anything serious apart from his own death (suicide by cop?). The one photo of him shows a boy with dead eyes; probably still a teenager when arrested. We must start teaching teenagers how to live, love, contribute, enjoy life. As a society we are abusers.

Why was he let back out so early?
I can see a precedent or two being set.

JK, you are right, but you can lead a horse to water...

Yes a dead-eyed kid indeed. I can't even read the background stories as they bore me with banality.

But society (whatever that means) the abuser not so sure. An individual(s) will have abused him mentally: a bitter inadequate hate preacher at his local mosque, family members, "charismatic" mate, cell-mate; who knows...

His story is sad, pathetic, filled with pathos. Banal in the extreme. Everything he thought it wasn't when he trotted onto Streatham High St with his weapon and future glory assured in his distorted child-mind...

He wasn't let out "so early" BW. He was released - as all prisoners are, unless still serving highly contentious Indeterminate Public Protection (IPP) sentences, now obsolete - at the half way point of his sentence, on licence; as all prisoners are.

No conspiracies here; normality.

Didn't the justice Secretary have something to say about this yesterday?
2/3 of sentence to be served.

Why not all?

Some people should definitely stay in jail.

Boris says rehabilitation rarely works .

Boris is right. Brutality never made anybody kinder.

All terrorists belong in jail.

All we need now is for them to extend its definition and apply it.
