The thing I often wonder about is how do these people get radicalized? Does it sneak up on them somehow, or do they quietly think to themselves, 'I'm going to become a Jihadi. That would be cool. I'm going to go online and read a Koran, or something".
Apparently this guy was a druggy criminal with weapons charges. He did time. In Britain and America, weak minds have gotten themselves radicalized in prison by government sponsored Imams. The problem is even if it was happening here in Canada as well, we'd never hear about it from Canadian media, so we can only guess what might be happening in Canadian prisons with radical, government sponsored, Imams.
And people like me can only sit around and guess, and wait to be told to go put on our tinfoil hat by the mavins of internet forums where we hazard our guesses; but I forgot where I put it.
Sounds like the guy was anti-social. It doesn't get much more anti-social than the jihad losers.
