“Officers who searched his home found components and weapons inside a wardrobe fitted with an alarm system.”
If this boy had been a “white supremacist” who assembled bomb components and spoke about carrying out a terror attack, do you think he would have been cleared? The answer, in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain today, is clear.
“Boy, 15, cleared of preparing for Isis-inspired terror attack during lockdown,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, October 9, 2020:
A 15-year-old boy has been cleared of planning Isis-inspired terror attacks after being radicalised in a matter of months….
A jury cleared the boy of a charge of preparing acts of terrorism on Friday….
When questioned during his trial, the boy said he did not mean what he said in his videos, and that he had learned jihadi terminology from the dark comedy film Four Lions.
He admitted learning to make “bottle bombs” from a YouTube video, but denied planning to kill anyone or be martyred while “carrying out jihad”.
Asked by a defence lawyer about the reasons for his actions, he replied: “I don’t really know,” adding that he was upset by watching the “nasty” videos he had made….
The boy had been carrying out experiments in his bedroom in Eastleigh, Hampshire.
Officers who searched his home found components and weapons inside a wardrobe fitted with an alarm system.
The teenager possessed diagrams relating to improvised explosive devices, switches and detonators and made basic drawings of a “dead man’s switch”, which enables bombers to detonate devices after being shot by police or incapacitated.
He told a social worker he had converted to Islam in May, but the court heard his online activity suggested this occurred several months before….
Footage recorded in April showed him telling the camera: “Isis fighters are spread across the nation. Without jihad, there is no Islam. There is no Islam without jihad.”
Later the same day, he recorded a video showing him whispering “I am a martyr”, and others included Isis nasheeds and the group’s flag.
Some videos contained instructions on how to make home-made bombs, and encouraged people to “express your love for Allah by becoming a martyr”.
Prosecutors said the teenager felt “angry and abandoned” and that his attraction to Isis “was possibly connected with these feelings of rejection”.
Ms Whyte said Isis ideology “filled a big gap in his life and made him feel special in a way that he could not feel within his family and social structures”…
