I'd like some feedback on this. It seems they're locking kids up in the UK now for being terrorists. Does sending videos of westerners getting beheaded, and having a facination for guns, constitute being locked up?

Sounds like they are attempting early intervention for potential offenders rather than "throwing the book at them", no mention of them imprisoning the kid now, although they fear he will grow into an adult offender. I can't see a problem with attempting to avert such future behaviour. Why should any civillised society tolerate "extremist and racial behaviours"?

Also makes me wonder how a 12yo kid gets access to websites like that?

That's not gonna float with me. I had a facination for guns and weapons when I was young too. If there were any threats made, fine. But from this article, no threats were ever made. Having a facination for guns and watching beheading videos is not a crime.

I still have a facination for guns and I watch be-heading videos. That doesn't make me an Islamic extremist.

"Blond, white schoolboy is al-Qa'eda extremist, say police"

You sure? :hehe:




“He spoke openly of his wish to be a sniper and spoke of his curiosity of what it would be like to kill someone.”

Obviously something has to be done about the little nutcase.

Yes.
As the boy came here as an asylum seeker in 2005.
