Should we not celebrate or even be pleased when a hate inciting, evil man is brought to justice? Especially when he has quite flagrantly skirted the law over and over, often in the full view of the British public because it's reported all the time in the media?
Quote: It won't help. I'm watching all these news about killing #1, #2 or encarcerating this or that terrorist for over a decade now. And all I feel is contempt over the ones making this newsworthy. Good riddance, yes, but the situation hasn't exactly improved by killing all these people or putting them in jail. It's just another populous move, gorilla chest pounding style, to give the population something when in reality they haven't got anything going for them.
The ones making this newsworthy aren't 'populist movements', they're the news channels who put him on air and the fucking dumb arse debate programmes that entitle him to an elevated platform.
Quote:So, yes, he's in jail now. Good. Another one will take his place, and then another one and another one. There's a root problem to be adressed and the fact that the situation got worse over the last 15 years points to them doing it the wrong way.
Oh for feck sake, no one is celebrating this like we've just put a silver bullet in the head of Islamic Extremism as a whole. It is exactly what it is, pleasure in the fact that a scum bag has finally been brought to justice after flouting the law for years and supporting and being involved in murder and extremism.
If you aren't personally moved by it that's fine, but don't berate others for being pleased about it and expressing that.
