Federal authorities in Minnesota are looking at ways to steer some terrorism offenders away from radical ideologies and safely back into society.

In a national first, they are considering adopting pretrial release and probation programs that would blend traditional supervision with counseling and other services to move young people away from militancy.

[Java4Jay]

Give then a job and a townhouse, that's the ticket.

[Captainpaintball]

I would put whoever was stupid enough to come up with that cockamamie idea in prison.

[Tzimisce]

....they’re going to use the honor system to fight terrorism?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Delusional.

FWIW

The Paris terrorists were fished out of the sea and saved from drowning by the EU coast guard when their ship to Europe sank in the Med

They were given the very best of medical and health care.

They were granted asylum in Europe

They were given a place to live and money to live on.

They could not have been treated with greater kindness and compassion and they were shown boundless goodwill

Their first action was mass murder of their hosts.

These invaders see our kindness and compassion as a weakness to exploit to further Jihad

They had this book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus that made the case that men and women were fundamentally incapable of understanding each each other because of their very different perspectives on life.

We need a new title to describe the world views of or liberals and the Islamic ‘Syrian war refugees” (80 % of whom are not from anywhere near Syria), something like “Liberal Progressives are from Shamballa, Refugees are from Raqqa” (Raqqa is the ISIS stronghold where they are using beheading, stoning , beatings , terror and crucifying to intimidate and control the population)

How about:

would blend traditional supervision with counseling and other services to move young people away.(period)

[Eleutheria5]

Sure. Great track record for probation.

how about you put a @#$@#$ing gun in their hand to you stupid @#$@#$ @#$@#$ @#$@$@#’S.

Cursing right now with a mix of Italian and English words.

I think neighbors can hear me.

The reason The Godfather III was SO STUPID is that those guys don’t GET remorse later on.

Doesn’t happen. Never. Ever. And I’ve known a number. Not friends but acquaintances.

THEY DO NOT FEEL COMPASSION FOR THEIR VICTIMS. It is chilling.

WHAT MAKES these leaders think the TERRORISTSS are going to change and sing hallelujah with us????!!!!

Just like Mafioso, they are taught from Birth one way to live.

you cant change that with a community group cake and coffee meeting once a week.

idiots.

There is hope for the children if we completely and UTTERLY reeducate them under threat of force if the parents don’t want then to be.

And to be so ruthless that they have to accept change.

How did we change the Nazi youth in Germany? Anybody know?

47, and though ive seen lots of documentaries, never saw one that addressed that.

[Eleutheria5]

B-but that’s like what they did to the Oglala Sioux in Carlisle, PA. Don’t you believe in atoning for the past by committing suicide next time?/s

[dp0622]

I’ve never seen such cultural suicide!!

we enjoy all the spoils our ancestors fought and many died for, like electricity, running water, heat, an abundance of food, excellent sanitation, the chance to go as far as your dedication takes you.

and yet they want to throw it all away because of some misguided guilt?

MOVE!! or kill yourselves!! but don’t ruin our lives or put ours and our loved ones in danger.

[Westbrook]

Oh, that’s always worked so well in the past, right?

[Lazamataz]

Even better: Give them community service at an Explosives manufacturing plant. You know, the one right in between the Christian church and the Pre-School facility.

Liberals are suicidal with OUR lives.

[jennings2004]

Whatagreatidea.....yeah,thatwillwork!

[Fred Hayek]

Typical Minnesota. It’s all about feeeeeeings. And people wonder why I call the place Minnestoopid.

[njslim]

Midnight Basketball is the cure

[Hugin]

Catch and release for jihadists. Release and re-incarcerate for cattle ranchers.

[arthurus]

These screwballs should read the Koran.If they can understand that the words therein mean what they mean they will know that there is no reforming such people, no taming them.

[arthurus]

There is hope for the children if we completely and UTTERLY reeducate them under threat of force if the parents don't want then to be. The only ways to deal with them are
1) Deport them.
2) Kill them.
3) Forcibly convert them to Christianity and monitor them for church attendance and backsliding for the rest of their lives with the penalty for nonattendance or backsliding to be #s 1 or 2.

[octex]

Remember... These folks in Minnesota are the types that elect really strange people like Jessie Ventura and Al Franken. ...They apparently don’t have access to news outlets that report what is going on in the US or the world.

Only an Obama liberal could have dreamed this insanity up..
