The terrorist who slit the throat of 85-year-old priest Fr. Jacques Hamel today in Normandy, France had previously been arrested on terrorism charges and was was sentenced to house arrest with an electronic monitor. He spent a year in prison after being arrested in Turkey attempting to reach Syria and join the Islamic State. He was granted unsupervised release periods from his parent's house between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. The attack occurred during the church's 9 a.m. Mass.
The church attacked on Tuesday morning was reportedly on an ISIS list of potential targets discovered in April 2015. The suspect in today's attack lived near the church.
Security sources said one of the murderers was a convicted terrorist who was being monitored with an electronic tag and should have been living with his parents.
He was allowed out unsupervised between 8.30am and 12.30pm. The mass[sic] at Saint Etiennce's church started at 9am.
The same source said the church was one of a number of Catholic places of worship on a hitlist, discovered on an ISIS suspect in April 2015 - raising serious questions about France's intelligence agencies.
It's not exactly rocket science that giving a convicted terrorist periods of unsupervised release may not exactly be the best idea. A person can commit acts of terror around the clock, and clearly the terrorist in question didn't care about violating house arrest rules as he was willing to take a church hostage and slit the throat of an elderly priest.
Let's hope that this unspeakable act of depraved violence causes French authorities to wake up to how insane their criminal justice laws are. Convicted terrorists should not be walking around unsupervised.

Note that the vermin committed the attack on a workday morning.
They knew the folks at Mass would be the aged priest, nuns and a few old women.
No chance of encountering any steelworkers, farmers, fishermen or other
blue collar workers who might stomp the living shit out of them.
Their main misjudgement was on the speed of the police response.
Happily the cops did not try to “arrest” them but permanently arrested
them.
Ruger sold a lot of Mini 14 s and Security Sixes to the French police
in the 80s.
Their cops are still using the rifles. They are light, compact, reliable
and paid for.
Have heard that some of the detectives and brass still carry the
revolvers, particularly older guys who were used to them.
Those frog-eating surrender sissies better barf up another Napoleon, or they’re going down.
Even if they lacked the resolve to execute the pigdog murder-muzzie, they should at least have deported him.
To easy
How about Obama publish that list so people can arm up!
I hope so, but I doubt it.
“The loses of the enemy must be unacceptable to the enemy. The sooner their losses get to that level the sooner the war will be won.”
That’s the long and the short of it.
IMV, the closer we get to inflicting 100% casualties on the world’s muzzies, the better.
YEah, but he did it during the time when he was allowed to be at large, that ought to count for something.
“National Report” is a hoax site!
But it is true that Bergoglio is an enemy of Western civilization, and hates Catholicism.
“They are light, compact, reliable and paid for.”
I love them, but as far as a firefight goes, they are still essentially 1930s technology.
Wars have started over less.
France should level Raqua.
When I was a child, the pastor of my grandparents’ church, St. Martin de Tours, St, Martinville, LA, was called Pere Hamel. I remember that he returned to his place of birth in France. I wonder if this martyr was a relative. Reposez en paix dans les bras de Dieu.
Hopefully the whole world will tire of the disease that is Islam and eradicate it from the face of the earth.
House arrest sure is a successful program. Let’s do more of them./s
Yes, but the world has to be willing to identify the enemy publicly and then be willing to declare war, no quarter asked, none given.
especially when terrorists are involved.
Yes. Then they can get jobs, which is the root cause of their problem.
Only MORONS put ENEMY COMBATANTS under house arrest.
Beyond stupidity.
“Do the French still use the guillotine?:
It would appear they whip to laughing terrorists with white flags.
