Can all posts on prevention please go in here to stop clogging up the other threads, any posts on prevention in them threads will just get deleted as they're for news on the incidents

Good luck with finding the answers, please carry on........
 
From the day after Manchester anyone tweeting their support for the attacks should get 5 years. If records show they have dug deep for terrorist materials to download should go down for life imo. These people get no considerations from me above those of Saffie and others.

Now curious minds should just get a knock on the door to stay away from such stuff, for example i can imagine some 12yo muslim kids will not fully grasp this and think it is 'gangsta' to read about stuff. Those people should be told whats what. Those who show a lot of activity and have downloaded instructive material for making weapons from jihadi type sites should feel the full force of the law. No decent person would be messing with that stuff especially after Manchester so to do so imo shows support for the deaths of innocent civilians right here.

It is not hard to make a distinction between a generally curious kid to that of a grown man methodically researching bomb making for example.
 
We can't prevent it......a more tangible couple of questions would be fight back or hope for the best??
I know what my answer is but how would/should we fight back?
 
Why do people take things to ridiculous extremes? Nobody is advocating imprisoning someone for Googling ISIS. We are talking a few algorythms which will flag up potential threats to our safety and making radical sites illegal to access just like, as I stated earlier, child pornography sites are. If this takes away a little bit of freedom so be it. The safety and security of each and every one of us is far more important.
 
Relentless campaign of education, information, and community-based policing with community-based responsibility for highlighting any sense of worries/concerns without fear of retribution.

And a cohesive foreign policy based on defining our role in ensuring global security which reflects the will of the people.
 
Education is key

Those involved in anything from hate preeching to going to Syria(or even thinking about it) should be locked up.

Anyone on the 'watch list' should know they are being watched and made to feel uncomfortable as possible. Knock on thier door every day and if they are not in, kick it down - fuckit, even kick it down if they are in!

We need more Police in communities. More prison officers to try and prevent the malicious 'conversion'/grooming of vunerable people(or anyone for that matter). More obstacles on pavements to prevent cars/vans/trucks from mounting curbs and being able to pick up speed

It's not easy. There are lots of spokes to this particular wheel

i'd say its nigh on impossible. you cant stop an ideology, and you cant stop people being brainwashed by it. events like last nights are almost impossible to prevent

Maybe not in the short term but you can over time. The Roman Empire, with all their demi gods, were defeated and many ideologies have come and gone. Charlton Heston said in the film Quo Vadis that the way to beat an idea is with a bigger idea.

There are no simple answers, Part of the answer is in education and it's partly in destroying the Calaphate (although I wouldn't have started from here) so Impressionable teenagers no longer think there is an Islamiist Disneyland world to join.
 
all 4000 on the watch list should be imprisioned or at the very least chipped.
