If a tough response to a terrorist threat or act, or even a possible terrorist threat /act means lethal armed response a.s.a.p. then it is practically inevitable that someone is going to get shot who shouldn't have been shot...... a workman from Brazil springs to mind. The terrorist should definitely be shot to death, but the time frame nearly always goes the terrorists way..... they have already attacked, killed, maimed and will continue to do so until brought down or terminated. Yes, we can kill them - but it's usually too late.
Whole life sentences for everyone of them.
No parole for the "plotters" instigators, or those that carry out acts of terror based on the belief that us westerners should be removed from the face of the earth.
The UK owns some bits of land far, far away upon which a mightily secure facility could be built. Send them all to this place and let them be forgotten. Rehabilitation, de-radicalisation or any other form of therapy for someone with a mind that is consumed with only one single thing is never, ever going to work.
I'll finish by just saying that the civvies on the bridge should now be put forward for some sort of award in recognition of their selfless acts of heroism.
Rest in peace. Saskia and Jack.
