    These killings could have been stopped had the authorities taken action sooner and locked this guy up.

    Lock him up for what?

    Should have kept him in jail for the maximum amount of time possible for any one of the armed robberys he commited. Maybe this could of been avoided then.

    I don't know chief, 27 prior convictions for violent crimes, on an S-Watch-list since 2015 for his fanaticism, but locking up would be against his Human Rights... and his victims? You don't give a damn about those now do you?

    Think you have the right idea.

    It's my dream to retire to an Irish offshore island.

    Guess it depends on what you hope to achieve? Would it be lower crime levels, less multiculturalism, escaping stressful modern european lifestyles, more privacy etc.

    Whilst places such as Rathlin have very low crime, not long ago they got CCTV installed at the harbour (due to European legislation). Some residents later discovered that they had been filmed in their home sitting rooms by these 360o zoom cameras, and thus complained to the council (who investigated themselves) about clear privacy breaches. Due to Brexit, some there are now seeking to join Scotland.

    And while the new Mosque on the Island of Lewis (bult within 8wks), is largely very well received by the population and most community leaders. The Minister of the Free Church in Stornoway, is opposed to the new building, and by calling it a 'false religion' might community tension. A few other local priests also refused to visit, stating the don't any backlash from their own community by doing so.

    Presumably his previous crimes were dealt with within the boundaries the law allows. Do you know something we don't?

    Did he get off a prison sentence because of a human rights claim of some sort?

    Aren't you always on here campaigning to bring in refugees? Are you aware some refugees on their offspring have carried out terror attacks on Western countries?

    Shame he's dead. Absolute shame.

    Now he's dead a martyr to his cause, which is exactly what they want. Better to take them in alive, imprison him and honestly torture him until he gives up everyone.

    To hell with his rights.

    Unfortunately there are far too many repugnant creatures such as this one to take his place.

    Do the 72 virgins volunteer, or are they coerced in any way ?

    Surprised they caught him, between the open border hopping charade and community assistance.

    Wonder if they had used female trained markspersons to complete the operation,
    would he would be void of those four dozen virgins* (not sure of the exact number of virgins, but it's alot) in his afterlife to lust after,
    along with unicorns and fluffy clouds.

    *edit: 72 virgins it would appear.

    Thanks for being honest. There was no need though. There's plenty of examples of violent criminals being given much too lenient sentences resulting in people suffering because someone who should be locked up wasn't.
