The article later mentions that Khan was born in the U.K. to parents of Pakistani-administered Kashmir. Even Muslim immigrants who are law-abiding are more likely than non-Muslims to have terrorist children.

Oh a review, this is comforting. Not for the victims though. The government is killing you

Actually, it seems to me it’s the 2nd generation time again and again doing these acts.

They might as well review the length of his beard or the color of his socks.

“Mr. Khan was one of nine people who were imprisoned”

What is the status of the other eight?

“Actually, it seems to me it’s the 2nd generation time again and again doing these acts.”

Yes, and it is a HUGE DEAL. The initial immigrants were generally really good people. They kept to themselves, worked hard, and simply wanted a better life for their kids, just like in the US (and that’s where the similarity ends).

But the next generation, the ones born there, often with citizenship (depending on country) and speaking the language perfectly, get RADICALIZED and are the worst. There are even cases where immigrant fathers turn in their own sons, as they see their sons talking seriously about ‘jihad’ and killing a bunch of Europeans. I’m simply unable to imagine what it would take for me to turn in one of my own kids to authorities, knowing that they’ll likely see 20 years in jail (at least in the US, for now)...but immigrants in Europe have done just that, and in doing so, saved countless European lives.

It sucks. The European governments know exactly what’s going on, but are scared to death to confront it...and so we see the results.

Agreed.

Getting more radical not less.

Rebellious muslim kids don’t speed and drink beers.

They stab and shoot and run over.

“Review Sentencing”

How about review immigration policies? No reason to wait until they kill (or attempt it) first.

Please don't say this comes as a surprise:

Revealed: Six of London Bridge terrorist Usman Khan's fellow Stock Exhange bomb plotters have also been freed from prison since 2012

As to Johnson's statement that the terrorist should have served the full sentence: It just shows Johnson to be another talking head with not much content. All that would've achieved is to have postponed this attack by a few years. Johnson would be OK with that?

What Johnson fails to see or is too pussy to state clearly is that these types are beyond rehabilitation: Life imprisonment or immediate execution are the only viable options. Deportation is much too risky, as the UK also has no control over its borders and these types would just slip back into the country to continue their jihad.

He was let out early because he’s the mayor’s brother.

Meanwhile, many states in the U.S. are passing more lenient guidelines, and releasing felons, before their sentence is over. Think about that for a minute.

First responders got it right.
