If I recall correctly, the attacker was actually denied asylum due to prior criminal activity and was under surveillance as a terrorism suspect but the German authorities didn't have enough evidence to detain him. Should the German government stop helping those who are fleeing incredibly dangerous situations because of one bad actor?
- toomuchtodo 10y agoThey should deport them immediately upon their asylum being denied, instead of letting them linger in the country in red tape limbo.
- hetman 10y agoIt's probably a little disingenuous at this point to claim there is only a single bad actor, though the bad actors do remain a minority. I hope we can all talk through this without getting too emotional about it though. I think the terrorists are hoping for an irrational reaction.
- ryanlol 10y agoPerhaps it's even less about the individual bad actors as illegally crossing borders will always be trivial for individuals, but about the communities and support infrastructure that enable these individual bad actors to coordinate their attacks. And then there's the unprecedented recruiting happening in the West, which is seens as rather acceptable in many communities. The "obvious" solutions seem to be education and strong integration programs for the people that get let in.
