The Nutcase Idea (France)

 There is a thought process going on within Macron's France that if you act 'crazy' on Islamic Jihadism, and are deemed a threat....then you ought to be brought in and put in front of a judge to be 'sent off' for mental clinic therapy (basically saying you have a mental illness).  

This was written up today and is worth a read.

I paused over the strategy.

In Germany, for at least five or six years.....each single terror attack has been attached to a mental 'problem' of the guy involved.   The police or politicians will just say (straight face)....he's not sane like us, and he's mentally disturbed.  Sometimes, it's three lines.....sometimes, it's a summary of twenty-five lines of text to what they say.

Germans don't actually disagree with the mental issue on terror attacks.  It's easier for them to understand because 99.9999-percent of Germans don't go around trying to kill people. 

The issue I see with the French idea....you'd have to have a judge standing there and completely willing to sign paperwork to push 'Falah' and 'Emir' off into a pretty secure facility and then commit them to serious mental rehab.  It might be a year, or even five years before they prove themselves to be able to handle reality.

But the next question comes up.....if you release the guy twelve months later, and he run out to blow up a school (actually killing folks).....what then?  Does that prove that these can't be ever trusted?

I see this getting the situation deeper and deeper into a mess that no one really wants to handle.  No one wants to send 'Emir' (age 18) off to sixty-odd years of confinement. Nor does anyone want to admit that more crazies attend one particular religion over the fifty-odd other religions.  

The fact that it's 99.999999-percent male 'mental cases'?  Well....that begs a question if this is a male-only problem. But we'd best not ask that one.
